Either sort yourself out son or GTF. Yeah that’s not great tbh. Did you see Gordon barely look at Marshall before the game? That’s todays game all over, surprised they didn’t swap strips.

We didn't have the players to play Stendel's style and yet he persisted including playing the hologram week after week as he chucked them in. A competent manager would have made us more compact first and foremost, and may well have got us to at least 11th, which would have saved us.

boag1874 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 5 minutes ago, Pasquale for King said: You’ve missed the point spectacularly, going down there is akin to going to any away game outside Glasgow. You impose yourself on the game, show utter disdain for these lesser teams and win. Not shit the bed because a half fit speedster is coming on. Levein barely won down there either and certainly didn’t go for it much. Nobody can judge Stendel really in three months in the job with the problems we had, but he showed the way of playing them down there on that big pitch. He did get a good performance out of us down there, as did Robbie today. And the last time. The only difference was the finishing was better that day. Stendel might have got us our best performance down there in years, but he also oversaw us making a total ***** of games vs every single diddy team in the league eventually taking us down (no it wasn’t right to end it early but we definitely were the worst team in the league when it was called). Maybe he would’ve stayed up & then we go on to finish top 3 the following year. Maybe he would’ve got relegated regardless, or kept us up but made a ***** of the next season. We’ll never know & fyi I felt sorry for him at the time to not get a real crack at it with a settled squad, but Robbie has objectively done well since returning. He’s not necessarily overachieved but he’s taken a team with no confidence who were in turmoil after years of objective failure & moulded it into a team most of us would agree is good value for becoming a European regular.

He says what he wants and finally decides if we sign each player. Are you saying it is all down to Savage not finding the players? Its down to the football recruitment department not finding/securing the players. That is more than one person - not just Savage and Neilson, but I don't know who does what. Neither do you.

1953 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Just in from the game very disappointed that we let that one slip. We should have been out of sight five mins onto the second half but if you don't put these chances away etc etc. Not surprisingly Hibs aren't as crap as a lot on here claim. Definitely 2 points dropped for us and a point won for them. I thought Boyle couldn't play today. Wouldn't it be great if someone's ballsed it up and he's not actually registered yet. Having said that I thought Cochrane coped with him well today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From interviews of Savage and Neilson, we do know how it works. Neilson says what he wants. The recruitment team scour the market, looking at stats. Recommendations are made and Savage and his team look at the players history and character etc. Savage looks at cost and discusses with agents. Savage draws up a list for Neilson to make a decision. It will not work like that every time but that is the general working understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
