Ultimately, yes.

But one can be fixed and requires more patience and understanding than the other.

We are nearly at the natural break of the Nations League fixtures.

What happens in the next 2 games will go a long way to deciding Alfreds future.

Correct lose the next two he's dead.

We can discuss tactics ,manager decisions all night long . That’s a separate issue for me .

For me the reason we conceded the late goal was a lack of desire to go and head that ball out the box . End of . There were plenty people in position to deal with it and we didn’t .

The back line cost us the game last night  . 
Cross   not closed down and nobody wanting to win the header . 
It’s terrible defending . 

Basic defending any day of the week at any level of football you play at . 
Three points thrown away . 
Some  of the players did there jobs last night and some didn’t . Simples

Are we though?

Or are we a team thats failing to take on instruction?

The 2 can look the same.

Yeah, of course they can look the same, but a good manager should be able to address these issues, within reason.

The international break would be the perfect time to part company.

Tactically you are not wrong. As I said in an earlier post and last night we went into panic mode after we scored. A sure sign of a team under pressure. We abandoned our very effective 1st half play to try and defend the game out which was criminal. We resorted to the kind of tactics that Kettlewell would have been proud of after we went ahead. Yes I get the defend as a team angle but equally you do actually need a defence to be competent too and we just don't have it. St Johnstone literally had 3 efforts on our goal and scored with two because the defence is pish. 

I don’t disagree. Our defence is a shambles.

It’s probably a different thread this & regardless of the manager, the team / squad isn’t good enough 

what do people think we need in January for mid table obscurity

How anyone can take positives from that overall performance is beyond me. The regression from last season is staggering. The fact we resorted to the hoofball tactic even while winning should be the final nail in the coffin for Alfred.

When it looked like we were going to get over the line last night I was obviously feeling relieved but at the same time knew that all it would do was kick the can down the road with a manager who needs to be gone asap. But obviously I’d have been happy with us winning.

When we chucked it away it felt like a defeat and in all honesty we would have been as well losing because playing ‘well’ against a really poor St.Johnstone team and still failing to get over the line does us no favours. Rather than kicking the can all it has done is shuffle along the pavement and it getting stuck in a drain.

Same shit fest defending.  My son is 14, plays CB and LB for his local club and I guarantee he would do better than sod. 

Is he free on Saturday around 3pm.
