Mollo Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I can't make my mind up about Stendel - but I think the players and Levein are to blame ahead of him The way we played against Rangers and Hibs was nice to see.. But players including Naismith (who I have always been supportive of) seem to think it is okay to be bothered 'some of the time' I can't help but think Naismith may not be the positive affect in the dressing room that we had hoped. I see him trying to calm players down that are going a bit 'gung-ho' in one game.. then he's doing it himself and getting silly bookings in the next. He's got lots of skill and is capable of more than most. I hope I am wrong, but he seems to come across like a bit of a moody 'nobody can shoot but me' at times. I wonder if we have the right captain in the dressing room to get the boys enthused for the games? Funny how we played Vs Hibs when he was on the bench. I know I am stabbing in the dark here and maybe its all wrong or unfair - I'm just baffled by the whole 'vibe' of the squad, and it cannot all be Stendel surely??

What im saying is after the sevco game we humped hibs and drew with a decent motherwell side. The problem we had was st mirren and hamilton were winning too. Another thing we have had much better teams over the years go to lst mirren and lose. and lose. He inherited so much shite. We still have a chance until its impossible we can stay up but saying he is a fraud is wrong. We win our next game and we go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve played well v Hibs and Rangers and, to a degree Motherwell then failed to turn up v St Mirren. People lose their minds when it’s actually been a regular thing. We have routinely failed to win there and elsewhere but folk go on like we have a divine right to rock up and horse the “wee” teams. We’re very inconsistent, we don’t score enough goals, we have no real midfield link. It ain’t over for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 He has crap GKs, a leaky central defence, uncreative midfielders who think graft is fouling not winning the ball, and thus a bunch of strikers who cannot score... Cap that with a bloated squad which is overpaid and cannot motivate themselves. That is what Stendal meant when he said that the problems were far worse than he thought on taking the job - ie Levein bleated to him about injuries and how good the squad would be when Souttar and Naismith were fit... Levein sold him a bum rap. Least we can do is support the guy. He has shown that he can change things when they are not working. I believe he needs to make more changes such as using Uche as a Plan B on 60 mins rather than bringing on straight swap wingers who do nothing; and perhaps he needs to drop Halkett for Smith or Sibbick (when fit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brux Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Stendel inherited a turd, tried to polish it, failed. The overpaid players need to have a long hard look at themselves here. Long after they are gone the club will be here and a lot of them will regret the abject contempt they have shown this season. The club will survive once we have cleared the decks of the drastically failed 5 year plan which has brought us full circle but with a shiny new, still unfinished stand. Here is hoping for the next 5 years stewards to be up to the task!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voiceofreasonfortheseason Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Anyone else seen screenshots of the John Murray texts about Stendel, a co worker just showed them to me. As usual I take everything with a pinch of salt but if these are true it would explain a lot. Big bust up with Boyce at the Motherwell game after he apparently questioned if Stendel wants us relegated as has that clause. Loads in the messages about there being a bad atmosphere on the bus driving through to Paisley and the usual comments about players mentioning him stinking of drink all the time. Be keen to see if any of the ITK ers on here have seen or heard this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin MacGlee Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I was shown a text that was apparently from John Murray to someone else where Murray is claiming Stendel is about to be sacked. Apparently him and Boyce had a massive fall out the other night and there was verbals on the journey to Paisley. No idea how much truth there is in any of it and am taking it with a pinch of salt as I always do with these things. Will try and get a screen shot to post it here if I can.

I think you’re right to question the decision to make Naismith captain. From what I can observe on the pitch I don’t think he has the character for it. On the positive side he’s passionate and always communicating. On the negative side he seems to believe that he has to do everything himself and, as a consequence, he’s not concentrating solely on the things he’s good at. He might not be a better player but I think that, temperament wise, Halkett makes a better captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be better as a "lead by example" type because what he does well is outstanding...he maybe feels too much pressure to be "visible" to the fans as Berra got stick for not being vocal enough.

Rogue Daddy Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Terrible thread IMO. We have players that can beat Rangers (2nd) twice, thump Hubz in their own patch, and gift Motherwell (3rd) a goal for a draw. We have the players that can perform... when they want to. I was delighted that we went for someone different, other than the usual run-of-the-mill Scottish manager that's only objective is to 'settle' to be the best of the rest behind the uglies. We've seen glimpses of what DS is trying to achieve... I place 85% of the blame at the players and their attitudes (and by extension, the previous management team who signed them). I'm with others on here that believe things were far worse than what DS previously thought, prior to joinging us. A complete sh*t storm. Yes he's made mistakes, tried this and that to find a formula... which manager coming in wouldn't? But a FRAUD? Get a grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't listen to the BS Red, hopefully Stendel will be with us next season, and gets a full pre season bringing in his own players, and gets rid of the s**** that is within our ranks. I believe if given the chance he can do something very special with this club, let's just say there is a few bad apples at our club that need shown the door, and it's not just players. We need strong leaders at our club, Alan Burrows is someone Ann should approach, and ask if he wants to be apart of our special club. Ann can turn this around but she needs to get everything right from here. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/44131816&ved=2ahUKEwjTrdfzgJjoAhU8TxUIHZjTD0kQFjAGegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw2jMrcAh1d0gGzb59Xs7wS7&cf=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
