Certainly a clear statement from him that he views football from a different lens than Levein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille's Thirsty Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I can’t help but feel if we were 3-2 with Levein in charge, we’d have went conservative, we went for the throat today which I’m pleased about, good show McPhee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was bang on the money today, talked the talk to the press , but his team walked the walk today.

busby1985 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 2nd half was great but first half was a shambles and yet more examples of trying to reinvent the wheel. Well done today for the 3 points and for keeping going when we got in front. No thanks going forward tho as the manager, we need someone else. Keep winning and scoring goals and you’ll change my mind however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said many times, any manager that gets a tune out our squad will do very well. Budge was correct when she said that we have assembled a squad capable of doing more even with the injuries we had. Well done everyone today.

scotty2442 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Great that we won today but we still need perspective (we were playing St Mirren) and we need to think about the bigger picture, and for me that’s not with Austin as manager.

MrBones Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Still thought the football, especially in the first half, was dreadful. This was against terrible opposition. Still, well done in finally getting us a home win in what has been a disgraceful episode in our history. Let's build on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott980612 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 He got the starting 11 massively wrong last week at Hampden. Good to see him make changes today and dropping Clare completely and set the team up to play attacking football. Credit where it’s due.

Austin MacPhee’s not the answer. Come on CT, we have just pumped a team 5-2. No praise at all? Yes, we should be beating St Mirren, but recent form suggests it probably should have been closer. If you were there, you cant help but see a huge difference in the way we played. If a new manager had got that result today would you not have praised them?

Big Slim Stylee Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Whether fair or unfair, there’s no chance he’ll get the job full time as he’s tarred with the Levein brush. Budge knows it’s an appointment that needs to get the fans onside, not one that would turn in an instant as soon as things go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
