For those of us who watch home and away every week it’s glaringly obvious why people don’t want to go. The football is utter diarrhoea to watch. It’s gotten so bad that most us us wish the 90mins are up as soon as we kick off. Partick was a low point, Hamilton was a new low. Trouble is we don’t seem to know how to change it as we’ve tried every player in almost every position and nothing working. The team is not a bad team in general but is lacking leadership, guidance and suffering from a severe lack of confidence. Coupled with our disgruntled support who travel in great numbers and it’s easy to see why there is no enthusiasm or appetite for many just now. The teams woeful performances are having a huge negative effect on the support just now as we have become a support of doom mongers and it’s all to do with the product in the park. If we win our next 3 then I’m sure it’ll all change and there will be a demand for tix. Lose the next 3 and It doesn’t auger well for the run in to the end of the season. I hope AB realises that the Shiite football on display will be sadly affecting and reducing the coffers that should be pouring but will be slowly ebbing from our beloved club. We already know we have a new stand that’s over budget and this impacts on the quality of player and wages we can pay. It’s been well documented that it will be another two years before we can pay it off and then start directing funds into the playing team. Strap in lads as it’s going to be another two rough years for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of doing well in football is to do with confidence or lack of it. At the start of the season we had a few cup games where we had some failry poor performances early on but once the fitness levels improved and the new players started to blend in things got better. We were fortunate for a change with the way the fixtures fell for us and I think that coupled with Uche being a bit of an unklnown quantity helped us go on that great run. Injuries weaked the team and it did not help with CL shuffling the formation of the team trying to get us back to the winning ways but when it doesn't work then the confidence goes in the players minds and that's when the results start to get worse. Even with the injured players coming back it has been difficult for them to get back to where they were before injury. You just have to look at Berra and Haring since their return they have been poor by their previous high standards. CL's constant tinkering and lack of belief in the players ability to win a game particularly away from home in my opinion certainly doesn't help the cause. This negativity rubs off on the players and they start to doubt that they can win and if we do take the lead in a game it is backs to the wall to try and protect it. That is why our results in the last six games have us in eighth place out of twelve in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not just injuries alone but a combination of a few factors I suspect. The players seem demotivated and uninterested and we already look a beaten side before we step on the park. Heads seem to go down far too easily just now and that shows a lack of confidence. I haven’t seen anyone outside SN shouting and encouraging players on the park. Our current captain seems to have lost his voice and seems to be fighting his own personal and physical battles. Although I do think our physiological problems just now are bigger than our physical problems. When we lost a goal against sevco after two mins at Ibroke in the first game, at least we tried to make a fight of it and were unlucky no to have scored two before the hun hit back to lead 3-0 at halftime. I fear this current group would just roll over and play damage limitations for 90 mins. I haven’t seen morale as low as this in ages. Even lockys team of bairns gave maximum effort on our way down to the championship. This lack of leadership in the team has started at management level and seems to have filtered all the way down to the current playing squad. Same players but Jeckyll and Hyde performances from beginning of the season to current status. Even the soundbytes after a game seems to be the same uninspired drivel I’ve heard far too often this year. The referee didn’t give us a penalty, we were unlucky, we played well and had plenty possession, Bobby never had a save to make but had to pick the ball out the net....blah blah blah. When we were riding high on a wave of optimism at the start of the season and 9 games in, then the feel good factor was ever present throughout the whole club and from top down to bottom. When teams struck first we battled back and overturned them. This isn’t happening anymore. Now going to games feels like going to a wake instead and I’m just glad it’s all over. As soon as games were over I was already looking forward to the next one and Saturdays couldn’t come quick enough. Lately though the Saturdays are coming around far too quickly. Confidence has gone across the board and starting to spread through the support. We are in the semi of the Scottish cup and morale is at rock bottom. Enthusiasm is dying and you can point the finger as many times but there’s a lack of responsibility at the club Just now. No one knows how to change it and that’s the worrying part. We also don’t seem to have a current game plan and our forays of late into Glasgow have resembled a re-enactment of Custer’s last stand at the little Bighorn. We all know how that ends up! I fear another massacre next Wednesday night unless we have an inspiring performance against Aberdeen. We have to carry an air of arrogance and confidence going into games which we had at the start of the season. We are sadly lacking this just now and maybe therein lies the problem?
