The Celtic game stands out as the banana skin, but don't think there is much to fear from Dundee, saints, hibs and Aberdeen. Another pretty dire performance but a VERY welcome win on Saturday - but "Unbeaten" at home against Partick, Ross County and Hamilton???? Aye fantastic!

Statistically it will be correct so in that sense it counts. 9 points from 15 at home against the bottom 6 ( apart from Motherwell) is a pretty mediocre points haul. The only good thing that could be said about it is that its not relegation form anymore. (which 3 points from 18 was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liamthejambo Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It’s ironic that a right footed left back isn’t an issue when defending , in fact it sometimes works in your favour , however when attacking ...... it’s a different scenario , so no surprise we can defend but can’t score .

Stephen Muddie Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Levein has gone saggy was/is my fear. I was glad that he got sent to the stand recently as it shows he might yet firm up and manage us well. In his last spell the football got better as time went on. I think folk forget the 5-1 and the days of many a spirited last minute winner or equaliser with us pressing the **** out the opposition for the entirety of the closing stages. I remember Kevin mckenna up front though although budgetary restraints back then explained that. Did he sign Ricardo fuller? I can't remember, but he signed many a good player back then and if he hadn't jumped to Leicester would have continued to improve us I reckon. Probably saw the vr writing on the wall. Bizarrely I loved our 3-1 home win against the 3rd place Portuguese team and the great counter attacking performances away to them and bordeaux. I thought he'd initially focus on making us hard to beat thesedays and that appears to be happening. I guess once that assured foundation is there then we might expect to see more being done on the ball and in the opposition final 3rd. He used to play Alan Maybury at left back too.

Someone really needs to explain to him Football is meant to be entertainment. We had several of our most memorable and entertaining games ever (for different reasons) under Levein. 5-1, 4-4, some of the European games... genuinely breathtaking matches and results that come along very rarely. I got bored during Levein's time but that was more down to the fact that it was when the OF really stretched away. The 2nd places we used to get fairly regularly became an impossibility and 3rd was obviously going to be the best we or any other non-OF team could do, possibly forever (no-one could have predicted Romanov coming along and Rangers imploding). What was the same though was Levein's pragmatism. He always prioritised picking up points and did a great job of that. It was frustrating we didn't have more of a go when we played the OF though. I remember his record not being good against them. He firmly established us as best of the rest though at a time when the league was getting so boring that the Herald even started a league table with matches vs the OF not counting (and them not in it). We won the non-OF league twice in a row under Levein! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won the non-OF league twice in a row under Levein! Ps to this. Neilson was very clearly influenced by leaven's pragmatic approach by the way, not in a bad way. Cathro on the other hand ignored that approach and... If we ever do get a manager who both entertains in the way you and others seem to want and gets us in at least 3rd on a consistent basis then we won't hold on to him for very long in today's climate. Funnily enough Neilson in the "plane season" had us making chances, scoring lots of goals (3rd best) and picking up points (losing just 9). It wasn't enough for some though. To put it in context we scored the same number of goals in the Premiership as Hibs did in the Championship that season and lost just one game more. And that was his first season managing at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
