People blame the players we have which is fair enough, I do think we're missing a bit of pace and physicality in key areas. But, the main factor to our dismal performances had to be down to Ross and not knowing his best team or tactics. Many people have said it, maybe in jest, probably not, but it did look like he relied heavily on getting the ball to McGeady a lot and 'hoping' he would make something happen. I mean, he did have a good amount of players who have gone up from this league in the last few seasons so they obviously know what the league is all about.
As good as McGeady is, I couldn't help thinking I would love that lad they had on the wing yesterday. He was quick and direct and had a very good game against us. Sometimes all you need to do is get the ball in the box early, 9 times out of 10, McGeady just doesn't do that. For me, he should be playing in the hole behind the striker/s now as he has the skill and vision to play there but dithers too much on the wing.
Every man and his dog could see this and it amazes me that it wasn't addressed in the summer.
Amazing how the important people can't or don't see it.
Well the fact he was kept on after the play off final spoke volumes.
It’s that simple. About time safc clicked on. Nothing to be fancy about at this level.
We dont even have tippy tappy or fancy flicks.
I wanted Ross to stay on. I thought A he was bright enough to recognise his mistakes and B him and the board would have a plan on place to plug our gaps quickly and a new man wouldn’t necessarily know them. I was wrong on Ross - his crap system remained and the cheap goals continued and infuriatingly we were so slow and indecisive again in the transfer market due to the possible takeover and the priority of cost cutting that we improved in some positions and got worse in others
