I've kicked this thread off again after today's performance v Annan for updated comments.
It looks as if we have a first team squad of 31 players, far too many for this Division, but with plenty of permutations to get consistent results. Why can't they blend into a successful unit and win games? And how that is a financially viable business model? I cant be the only one questioning that?
We have a pedestrian eleven players without any motivator or driver on the pitch, without Scott Martin. We are turned over by yet another part-time set of players, who had more urge to win the game than we had.
Whatever is being done during full time training during the week, it sure as hell isn't working on a Saturday. It HAS to be done to the coaching and tactical ideas of the manager & staff. This was not a one off blip. It's too consistent, IMO.
We are looking at zero improvement, despite being "the second best team in the league". On these performances, can anyone see evidence that we will beat the second bottom team in the Championship, if, we managed to beat the third placed League 1 team in the first of those play-offs?
Maybe a nice guy, but John Rankin's had all the time in the last 18 months to show what he can produce as a football manager. Now time expired, as many are saying elsewhere. An experienced manager required NOW.
Oh, and can John Rankin take us back to his old stamping ground at Falkirk next week and get us a result?
