The Roller Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 14 minutes ago, chester copperpot said: Under Levein, he had a role to play, he wasn't allowed to take risks. Now, he can try play football and sometimes loses possession but you can see that he's not bothered if that happens as it comes off more often than not. He looked like a timid wee rabbit under the previous management. Been saying for a year that this team would thrive with the reigns being taken off. Seems that happens today. The biggest worry for me is the space behind the defence as we press high but not with his players. I am sure once that is sorted with a few of his own players then we will be fine. Pretty encouraging performance today and I have to commend Airdrie, they didnt sit back and try contain us, they harassed us wherever possible. Overall, delighted. The biggest change is he’s playing in a position where the majority of the game is played in front of him. He’s not suited playing the game with his back to goal. These performances will do his confidence the world of good. He was my man of the match today and still would have been if his attempt for the goal had hit row z.

Juanjo Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Big fan of his and I’ve argued the point over and over. But I thought, goal aside, he was poor. He should have absolutely dominated Leon McCann who was making his debut for Airdrie on loan from Hamilton. It was probably his first top flight start yet Sean checked back against him again and again. Won’t have an easier opponent, not in terms of quality but in terms of experience.

tian447 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm delighted that he's finally getting the fans on his side. Superb goal, and done really well today, especially with the long balls launched his way - kept them under close control and didn't make many mistakes. Well done Sean Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersreid Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Delighted for the guy , always believed he’d be good for us . That’ll show now he has a man in charge that plays to his strengths . It’s not relative to his on field performances but off field he’s a real gentleman , a credit to his parents and a great ambassador for the club .

OmiyaHearts Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 He was knackered near the end and still made a mad dash to go overlap in the last few minutes. He seems to have found a bit of self-belief and the crowds support will add to that. Well done to him. Some of these players feel like new signings.

Many doubted his ability , which I found strange . He always looked like a good footballer . People saying he never tackled , blocked , covered ground previously are talking nonsense . He has gone from the man who could do no right to being incapable of doing wrong . Crowd are off his back , the manager appears to have lifted the players mentally . Long may these things continue At the moment playing right back , when CL put him there he was pilloried ! Not certain that will always be his position .

Seems crystal clear that he's playing with heaps more freedom and the impact of that is his confidence is soaring. Levein did an absolute number on this squad. The quality is clearly there but the shackles he put on our attacking options is ****ing criminal - I know this was a game against a league 1 side but the way we're playing now seems to be with an air of confidence and determination as opposed to clueless and lacking direction.

Pretty encouraging performance today and I have to commend Airdrie, they didnt sit back and try contain us, they harassed us wherever possible. Overall, delighted. Watching the team today, the first line is what stuck out with me. You could see a team realise they can try something a bit more creative, a bit riskier and more often then not it came off. There was a moment in the first half when about 6 players knocked it around the opposition box, flick it over their head, doing all kinds of tricks and though in the end it did not go in you could see a freedom there that players loved. In the second half, both Graccuio and Bozanic did long accurate passes which opened up the opposition but I dont think I ever saw them do that under Levein. Stendel has worked miracles getting Clare's confidence back and Clare has repaid him handsomely. He played right back under Levein and looked hopeless but under Stendel he is a different player. Would love to know what Stendel said to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mscjambo Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Amazing what can happen to a player with proper management and coaching.

My son nearly got in a scrap at a match when a prick in the crowd singled Sean out for abuse when the whole team was pish. Strangely enough the abuser was encouraged by many to feck aff. Always saw a player in Sean but confidence was terribly low. Great to see him put in a few performances. If he keeps in up I can see him making us some cash when he decides to move on.

Still a few toss pots in section T giving him it tight, probably more out of embarrassment that they’ve been proven wrong than anything else. Lobg may this form continue. Will be an extremely valuable asset for the club if he carries on in this form. It's everywhere in the Stadium, I hear the bitter and twisted arseholes in my usual seats giving him pelters and low and behold yesterday Sean had a cracking 1st half makes one error and the old racist arseholes turn on him again and I'm in a different section. Speaking to a pal after the game, same story, he's in a different stand. Bitter racists forced to shut the **** up for the rest of the game.
