Holtie Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Let’s ‘man up’ and sack this guy …now! He’s taken us as far as he can so why keep him till the end of the season? I actually like Neilson but any goodwill towards him will vanish over the next few weeks as there is NO way the performances will improve dramatically. Given the budget, the players, the support , FOH etc we are being “short changed”….hugely! Than you Robbie but you are well past you “sell by”!

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 A scrappy 1-1 is how I see it panning out. At the moment that would be a good result. Hopefully some soul searching by the manager and players over the international break will lead to something better because a lot of revenue is at stake here!

Ex member of the SaS Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 It's amazing how world class a player becomes when out injured. Every one of our injured players are replaceable with the current squad. So look at Killie and ask the question how many would get a game for us? Then reverse it and ask how many of our team would play for them. That makes it clear we have a much superior team and the plastic pitch aside we should be winning this game. A poor team can win but seriously if taking the bigots squads and saying we have no chance against them, then similarly Killie should be saying the same about us. Only the management team can make a mess of this, so lose and that has to be the end for them, no more chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulus Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Looking at pie and bovril stats posted, we seem to be low down on foul and card count.

Will he have the guts to go with a back four and 4-4-2 (ie more defensively). Kilie are at threat of relegation, which is worse than not being third for them, so they will be all the more determined, but fourth might be the equivalent of relegation for Neilson, and fifth certainly would be.

MattyK82 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Our recent results at Rugby Park (last 10) are a mixed bag: W4 D3 L3 Although we haven’t won there since Feb 2019 (think this was the Uche header?). This game really has a make or break feel to it. We are at a bit of a crossroads moment in the season. Another poor performance and result will not only damage the league position, it’ll amplify the pressure both in the dressing room and in the fan base. A good performance and result would on the other hand give the team and fans a huge boost and reinstill some much needed confidence. This team/management have managed to bounce back after previous poor results/performances. Absolutely imperative they do a week on Saturday. To help in this regard, ditch the bloody 3-4-3 and play players in their strongest positions. The application and desire of the players - if it matches the opposition - Then who knows, we might actually win a football match! 🤞🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win and there will be some calm waters and with 2 home games to come, as well as the derby, before the split, things will look a lot rosier. Draw and it's a point on the board but given HIbs and Aberdeen's fixtures (Hibs v Motherwell and St Johnstone v Aberdeen) it would be surprising if at least one of them didn't close the gap further so the pressure increases. Lose again and this place is going to burn to the ground! Neilson is going to be under huge P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEHEART1874 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 433 back to 2021 or so (unfortunately still no upgrade on smith yet) . Not 343 with 2 so called wing backs who usually can only pass it back anyways 3 centrally in the middle with snodgrass further up till he tires trying to find the width from ginelly, mckay / forest upfront with shankland / humphries attacking centrally ( yes robbie attacking up front not half way line ) Who knows maybe kingsley or smiffy boy may still get up at times supporting down the sides. Worked before but don't think rowles or sibbick are anywhere near as good playing out from the back as Halkett or Souttar were. Draw based on the fact so many players are off it at the moment - Cochrane, kingsley, hill with Snodgrassand/ Kio still wanting too much time on the ball.
