Absolute Scenes Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Sick and tired of seeing the negative stuff towards him. Has built a resilient team who currently sit in third place AGAIN Tonight is not the only hoodoo he’s broken. Also helped break the st Mirren away duct too. Beaten Hibs twice at Hampden. Very pleased for him. what tonight did show was how frustrating the players can be. Neilson was going absolutely tonto at the sloppy passing and errors, showing that the players know what the game plan is but just shite themselves and lose all sense of composure.

Jambos_1874 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Great post. Totally agree and it's infuriating that so many if our support just cannot get behind him. Edited December 28, 2022 by Jambos_1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam11 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 He deserves a lot of praise tonight. Found a winning formula for what was available and wasn’t afraid to change it. Sent us out with real tempo, and was going beserk about the sloppy passing and how deep we dropped. A manager who knows how to get third place in this league. Unlike our league rivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The players are all busting a gut for him. They are all definitely believing in him and the coaching staff that's for sure Just stop conceding ridiculously bad goals week on week and we'll be motoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Yeah, Robbie can't take responsibility for player errors. Grant should have scored in the opening 4 minutes. Misses like that can bite you. That 10 minute spell at the end of the 2nd half where we just couldn't hold onto the ball was ridiculous. Zero composure. He has built a very resilient team and the wonders of having a confident goal scorer at long last are paying dividends. I hope we're onto Shanks in the summer for an extension. Got to keep time on that guys contract, an absolute machine in front of goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackOfTheNet Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Credit where it’s due, 3rd at the end of the year is well done. Wasn’t sure of the line up tonight, but for the most part worked.

He will be more frustrated than anyone by that. I know we're not the only club hit by injuries. Hibs have been hard hit too but nowhere near to the same extent. Hope we can do well in the January window and get must of the wounded back. The 2nd half of the season could be menorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that's his doing. Some teams naturally drop deep when they have a slim lead to defend it (which is counterintuitive since the other team get more time and space). I think its probably just a consequence of not being that much better than the rest of teams in the league. We can all beat each other on a given day. Don't get me wrong, its ****ing annoying because its obvious it just creates more problems, but that opening intensity can't be maintained for that long. Kinda what annoyed me about the Grant miss tbh. More a waste while we had momentum, than just a wasted chance since its going to swing the other way eventually.

Shooter McGavin Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 For a season that’s been hammered with injuries, and a congested fixture list with regards to European football, to be sitting clear 3rd with a game in hand by the New Year is pretty f****** good. We’ve got one of the best strikers in the league who’s well on his way to 20+ goals this season and I still feel our best is yet to come.

Салатные палочки Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 With our injury problems this season, we've done brilliantly to be sitting third at the end of the year. The manager should take a lot of credit for that. In the past week we've beaten a team we haven't in christ knows how long and won at a ground we haven't won at in, well christ knows how long. 7 points in a week including two away games.

Robbie is doing a superb job and let’s face it it’s only a few who have some sort of agenda and they account for a tiny minority as ST sales and waiting lists prove. Add in the outstanding FOH subs and the fact they have never tailed off in the financial crisis we are all in and it is clear as day. that tonight given other results is just fantastic.

Locky Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 With all due respect, Robbie contributed to that hoodoo more than any other manager. Tonight was his 7th attempt at winning away at Saints so it was about time. I credit Robbie where he deserves it, and as I always say, his record speaks for itself. It does seem mental to criticise him when he's delivered 2 promotions and 2 third place finishes in his only 4 full seasons. But, I do fully understand the sceptics and am guilty of siding with them myself. Once again, we were a goal or 2 up and cruising in a game only to make hard work of it. That's Neilson down to a tee. Also, we've got a derby coming up which we should be wildly confident for. Only there's seeds of doubt in my mind, purely because of Neilson's track record of sitting off Hibs. To summarise, I do believe he's a safe pair of hands and I'm happy with him, but I'm still convinced we could do better, and I'm still not 100% confident in his abilities.

(My only slight, slight criticism would be playing Snodgrass deep, our midfield got overrun easily many times tonight) Bit of a catch 22. Without Snodgrass deep we tend to pass across the back or just launch it. He is central to all our attacking play starts. However, he's great in possession, but terrible without it. Devlin needs to do more to cover in my opinion, with his energy, but was not up to it tonight I thought. We still miss Beni... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
