I was thinking Avdijaj was his worst decision until I remembered continuing to pick Pereira. I get that many liked Stendel, I did myself, but this whole thing is now negative, destructive and divisive. He's not our manager, he isn't going to be our manager, so the people going on and on about him are just pains in the hole now. We get it, but it doesn't matter, he's gone. Let it go, give us all a break. Edited March 15, 2021 by Smithee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Delighted to have a manager in place now who’s getting the results first & foremost. We are back on the road to winning ways again, after a horrendous few years. No hard feelings to Daniel, he was very hard done by, not getting those last few fixtures to see if he could turn it round. But at the end of the day it is a results business. Good luck to him if Portsmouth take him, a tough job there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhelen Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Had he stayed he would have got rid of the dead wood and had a season to get a fit, hungry squad ready for next season, playing a pressing game. And he'd have continued to develop as a manager. Yes, defensively was a bit of an achiles heel but it's not insurmountable. But I think the decision has to be made as to what style of football a club wants. Barnsley have gone for the press, for having young players (although thankfully the board has got loans and older experienced players in now too) and our managerial appointments reflect this.

Very much agree. We started with a plan back in 2014, then Neilson left early and Levein utterly failed to adapt and keep the club on mission. Our academy (IMO) looks to be miles off and there isn't a set style of playing which is coherent from academy level to first team leading to a massive adjustment between u21s and the first team - likely why Cochrane, McDonald, Morrison, etc. have all struggled. I like the pressing way Stendel had of playing, I think it clearly needed adapting to account for clubs like Accies or St Mirren that have little interest in actually trying to play football, but I felt good with what I was watching. A real shame it didn't work out, I'd be keen for the pressing to be adopting here and to try and get the youngsters playing like that alongside the first team. I couldn't tell you what we're trying to do just now which is pretty depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we saw as good as it gets for him. I really liked DS and wanted it to work out. In theory it looked great, but on reflection his signings were really bad on the whole. And he didn't win games. Robbie will have done what was needed if we go up, and that's promotion at the first attempt. How he does in the Premier league will be the litmus test. But his record there before was good for us. If he can get us top 4 and above hibs then that would be excellent. The latter is a given, the former I do think is realistic.

Seems like a training plan which Robbie could adopt tbh. I like how unconventional it is, both Popescu and Halkett don't seem to be very good defenders, so trying to train good habits into them might be a plan. I think DS is clearly an incredibly good coach. I'm seriously gutted it never worked out and Budge didn't have the stomach to let him try it again in this league. I think it would have been exciting and engaging to watch. I think his manner of playing matches fan expectation to a tee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His picking of that feckin poppadom fingered farce ended up with us being bottom. Decent bloke. Gantin manager. Correct. What he really should have done was identify straight away our biggest weakness......and sort that out. Give himself a fighting chance. He didn’t and played JP in goal for 10 of his 14 leagues matches. He signed 4 players in January.....2 were completely honking.....one is playing at a level so low I’d fancy my chances at getting a game for a team in that league. All he had to do was sign a reasonable GK and I doubt we’d be where we are today...... But no....he went all press and won 2 points from a possible 12 from the teams just above us. He was a one trick pony and he didn’t get the fact it wasn’t working for a team in our position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively we actually got worse under Stendel. What really helped against both Hibs and Rangers was having Boyce, Washington, Naismith, Uche and Walker to choose from in an attacking sense, as opposed to just Steven McLean and Craig Wighton and maybe one or two of the others half fit recovering from injury, which was the case for much of the season. Washington in particular was perfect for his game and we originally signed him because of those qualities. Shame he was out for so long.

With more time and if he changed his view of the goalie sooner I'm sure we would have stayed up. Even with 24 pts to play for after St Mirren I thought we'd stay up but it's impossible to know how he would have done as you say. I'd take him back if he does well elsewhere as there were signs he could get us playing well, just not in a relegation battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) When you are unable to recognise the major problems such as a decent goalkeeper then doubts will arise especially under a fan base who were pretty clear they knew what to do Add to this quite terrible winter signings and it began to add up to failure...indeed some of the worst I have seen arrive at the club To his credit he finally saw sense but it may have been too late though one win would have seen us survive......was that good judgement or just luck in falling into a more solid formation ? We will never know and he in his later games did try to get us on the front foot with signs of improvement but that's all, signs, not anything anyone can be sure of. Personally I felt he had to go but there will always be a slight doubt we did not get to see the season out and see where it ended No axe to grind and wish him well but he'll have to learn from his own mistakes....quickly Edited March 15, 2021 by CJGJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was after the previous stories that Mitchell would only come back to Hearts if he was re-modelled as a wing-back and not an out-and-out winger. He was never the same player when he returned so i can now see why the Pereira rumours were flying around at the time. You can't have another club, even a parent club telling you who to pick in your team. Still think Stendel's biggest mistake was not bringing in a solid central defender to replace the Dundee-bound Berra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an obviously mistake-ridden goalie lacking in confidence in the team because he can play as a goalie sweeper! This just makes it worse. And I know Daniel didn't say this "Though the 24-year-old initially looked a solid addition.." but did he ever look convincing.? The Man U made us think he'd be good then he started playing. He got away with some fumbles and near things from almost his first game against Celtic I think. I can't remember any great saves. Even Zlamal and Doyle had a couple of those.
