Craigieboy Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 He's absolutely brutal. That second half was mystifying. One goal. One goal was all we needed in the first fifteen or so. No chance of that when you're camped in your own half. Brutal. GTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamboo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I believe he is a defensive manager in charge of an attacking team. Not a bad manager, just not one to win derbys, big games and the 2 cups. I like Robbie but something is missing, a passion and instinct to know when you need the players up for it to scrap. Our team plays best when pressing up field but we insist on playing anything but this approach hoping that playing a slow paced passing game will suffice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffin Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Only issue is his replacement would be a clone promoted from within. I think we have a good set up and a pretty decent pool of players. What we need is an experienced and successful manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboJohn1874 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 If he didn't tinker so much I world accept him more, however in balance a new contract is about right. Perhaps it's world only be for 12 months however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pants Shaton Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 He's been a manager for 1 and a half seasons. He won the Championship at a canter. We will probably still beat Hibs and we will finish 3rd. The are problems to address but our model is a good one and I'm delighted that Craig Levein is at the core of it all.

Kirky Jambo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Like most, I hate the negative tactics we adopt so frequently when ahead or down to ten, and always think it is a recipe for disaster. It has worked from time to time (eg County at home, St Johnstone away) but imo more by luck than judgement. But what really gets me is that it is absolutely brutal to watch. Really unenjoyable. If we continue to do it or go on a bad run I wouldn't be that surprised if the attendances started dropping. And I wouldn't really blame folk.

Jodami Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Took us up first time from a more difficult league than it is this year, in effect removing at least a year from our financial recovery. Nailed on third in the league second season. Developed young players when they had stagnated under bronze age coaching and thinking. Made us over a million pound by developing a player we got for nothing. OP bang on, why would anyone even consider offering him a contract extension. Seethe is nursery age pant wetting of the most hilarious order. Careful when you're out playing on your scooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1874robbo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 What a difference a few days make. After Ann's interview with Ewan Cameron loads on here were delighted when she mentioned talks were about to take place on tying up our management on longer deals. Fast forward to today and just look at the reaction. Don't get me wrong I'm absolutely gutted/raging at the way we capitulated today and Robbie needs to put his hand up and admit he got it wrong. Is it worth the bullet though? Let's see what happens in the replay and take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five to One Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Agree with a lot of posts on here. Think Neilson's done well up till now particularly winning the championship at a canter. However, he doesn't look enough at the strengths and weaknesses of opponents and bases everything on his defense. Look at today - Hibs can be dangerous going forward but are weak at the back, especially with Fontaine out. After half time, the scene was set for getting the third goal and effectively killing the tie off. Instead we sat deep and gave them acres of room down the left channel. Was painful to watch.

Bungalow Bill Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I think some folk need to get a grip and refrain from posting until the dust settles.

McCrae Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Please don't do it Ann. FFS. Please don't do it. I don't think he should have a contract beyond 2016/17. He is being cut some slack because he is still a rookie manager. Providing we finish top 6 this year I reckon he will be given to chance to show if he had learned from his mistake. A finish out of the top 6 this year or out of the top 3 next year then he has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm ambivalent towards him - fine if he stays because he's doing okay but I wouldn't cause any kind of fuss if he was replaced. This is exactly where I'm at too. Definitely exceeded all expectations last year however the infuriating and frustrating thing is his negativity has cost us a lot of silly points already this season. More worryingly though, he doesn't seem to be realising this and learning from his mistakes. Don't want him sacked but I wish he'd either decide or be told to stop shiting it in big games and play to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
