Hi I've sat watched read everything we blame the board, the manager the coaches the press. Well for me the players are getting away Scot free. I know we can't say they don't try because they do but omg if that's fighting for the jersey or the support I don't want anymore of them. Formations yes they change but you still have to perform. There are very few pass marks this season Scales, Sarrachi and Trusty maybe gets D+., Donovan also because he is young gets pass marks.
But by god they need to step up they earn a fortune and give nothing out on the field. Perhaps anger vented at these prima Donna's instead of others. They get our support thick and thin now they need to give us something back.

I agree. I've posted recently in a similar vein. These lads have been playing for around 10 years, well coached, well paid and pampered. When does basic instinct and a will to win kick in no matter the system? They should all be able to read the flow and react accordingly, communicate on pitch and problem solve.
Why seem so absolutely lost at times? There is nothing really earth shatteringly new in football. As 'Professionals' they should be able to adapt and not fall to bits when challenged to exit their comfort zone.

I agree with Sutton, we have talented players but have very, very poor strikers.
Had we decent strikers we would win more games than we lose. The chances they have spurned is embarrassing, amateurish tbh.
We also need height at the back, or players who know how to defend corner or set pieces. That costs us every game.
Finally, and most importantly, we need a Manager with REAL experience of European football not one who thinks thst being once offered to Carlisle as a player makes him knowledgeable about Scottish football.

I posted yesterday about the players - especially the experienced guys in the squad that have been very disappointing/ ineffective.
{Ed007's Note - I've been saying it since the Kairat game.}

We need a physical spine to the team. We are far to lightweight in all positions.

I wouldn't be letting the players off I'm one of meadas biggest fans but I'd say he cost Rodgers his job in both legs against Kairat the Nancy could of got off to a flyer against hearts if it wasn't for Meada
And the other night against united Kenny could of cost nancy his job
How would anyone feel being the manager with these players.

The players aren't good enough the fit ones that is, ralston kenny mccowan yang tounekti balikwisha add Schmeichel I could go on.

Players are getting played out of position, how do you expect some players to perform when they are not in their natural position? This is 100% on the manager and his tactics!

We have 6 or 7 players who have disappeared when they going got tough. No taste for the fight.
AR bleeds green but is nowhere near good enough. Tounekti, Balikwisha and Yang could realistically leave. They offer little for any striker.
The likes of McGowan, Tounekti and Kenny come on a subs, show promise and when they start the next game, vanish from view. I like McGowan but lately he has been very poor.
I have never seen wingers get the ball and turn back as much as ours. There seems to be no belief that they can get past defenders.
Kenny is a Championship striker at best. No offence to him but his control and finishing is miles off what we need.
All this might come down to confidence and being played out of position but there seems to be a lack of desire and heart.
None of our CBs are capable of playing in a back 3 imo and that includes CCV when he returns.
I am not saying they are not good players but they don't have the pace, ability with the ball at their feet and ariel power to do that job. In a back 4 they do well enough.

It's not the managers fault kenny is woeful and misses sitters same with maeda, agree the defence is all over the place and his subs are baffling but let's be clear we should have won on Wed if we'd taken our chances likewise against hearts 2 huge misses and even first half on Sunday, as well st mirren had 3 attempts at goal and scored 3 goals the whole match.
19 Dec 2025 18:51:46
There 2nd goal was also Kennys fault, he allowed their player to control the ball, play it to the side and shoot without making any serious attempt to block the shot or tackle the player.
We are just weak mentally just now.
Ilneacho looks a player but we have lost him for weeks, young Callum is out for the season and we are left with Kenny who is poor and Shin who hasn't been given a chance and isn't sharp.
We have no one who can get us the goals we need just now.
That is down to the board.
