Neilson crisis meeting ( merged )


mr fox

Recommended Posts

Apparently they are having a crisis meeting to discuss what’s going wrong. Hopefully someone has the balls to say to Mr tinker-man he is the root cause. This guy is 100% oblivious to his failings. 
 

Been harping on about him for months with this awful 343 system and the constant changing of player’s positions. 
 

It’s not rocket science and the best spell I can remember was last season when we played 4231 for a while but he then switched it back to 343. 
 

Pretty obvious the players have lost the respect for him now it’s only going to end one way now - quicker the better get him out this club.

Meeting begins.  

 

Someone stands up with a big **** off sweeping brush and speaks one word "injuries".

 

Meeting concludes.

Is this ITK or just a rumour? 

 

I seem to remember the same thing happened after Brora and that turned out okay.

If true this underlines the critical nature of the next 2 months. Not because of a loss at Aberdeen or a loss at Motherwell which whilst undoubtedly dreadful performances are just small parts of the much bigger picture. If today has brought it to a head then fine. All the progress we have made off the park will be totally undermined by failings on it if we do not take advantage of the monumental opportunity that has presented itself to us. There can be no excuses and I hope and actually believe the board will know this. I think they have provided a budget and a squad that they think should have us comfortably 3rd and will have been taken aback at just how abysmal we've been in recent weeks.

 

I posted on here either during or after the D.Utd game (can't remember which) that I heard Savage say a number of things (was sat the row in front of him) including we need to produce a season defining half. He was very unhappy at our efforts in the first 45 minutes. He was also raging during the Friday night game against St Mirren so this is a guy who is involved, he's watching what we are. He will know today and many recent performances have been nowhere near acceptable. If this is true, and I'm going to believe it because it makes me feel better, I hope they are ripping strips of Neilson and his cohorts.

Made up then. Theyre gonna talk to each other over next week or so about todays performance.

Sounds uncanningly like a football team core, daily routine.

He's the problem. 

 

1. Blatant favouritism, an out of form, unproductive Barrie McKay is getting into the team by default ahead of an inform Grant, an Aussie wonderkid that Savage worked his arse off to convince to come here, Forrest and Oda.

2. We're starting games too slowly - every single game we're on the back foot from the off. That is down to management. You cannot start games this passively ALL the time!!!

3. Recruitment in the winter window wasn't good enough and didn't enhance the team in the right ways (we needed an experienced defenders defender to replace Halkett. Hill is not that. 

4. The formation is murder. We're playing 3 CB's and still leaking goals whilst being overrun in midfield. Its causing Shankland to drop deep and act as an auxiliary midfielder losing his effectiveness in the final 3rd

5. Tactics are shit. Dominate possession with zero penetration? **** off Robbie. 

 

The team look stifled and over coached. Morale looks to be rock bottom and they don't look like they're even playing for each other, let alone Robbie. 

 

We need to just move to a 433 and get our wide players hitting the byline for Shanks in the middle. This will also give us a 3 man midfield which will give Snodgrass options, and perhaps allow him to play further forward where he's of most use. Something like:

 

Zander

Smith Sibbick Rowles Kingsley

Devlin Snodgrass

Grant

Kuol Shankland Gino

 

We don't have good enough midfielders to sacrifice 1 for another CB, Snodgrass is too old to cover ground, Devlin is poor in possession, Kio is slow, Grant isn't a tackler. Take the third man and actually have a balanced midfield. Devlin ends up with plenty of options so he's always got an outball, Snodgrass likewise, and we get use of Grants creativity. Kuol and Gino have pace to burn and could cause real problems for teams out wide and Shankland is one of the best finishers in the league.

There it is. Predictometer 10/10

 

“If you had said to me before the World Cup break that we’d be in this position when we were five or six points behind teams, I’d probably have taken it."

lost in space

The meeting is going to have to be in a huge venue to house the massive "elephant in the room" - which is Neilson hasn't got a clue, which is why they are having the meeting in the first place.

There should be a meeting - to find a manager who doesn't need to have a crisis meeting!

A very good post. I even think that team is very good.

Just pandering to quell the anger he witnessed at full time. Gie the mugs a stick to gnaw on for a fortnight.

Remember how in his first season we were crap after winning the league? Remember the next season when we had a poor last 9 games? Remember the second championship season that culminated in Brora and Qos? Remember last season around January we were poor and crap after the split? For whatever reason his teams fall apart at some point from January onwards.

They’re probably off for 4-5 days 

 

The 4 Aussies are away home for the vast majority of the next fortnight. Clark will be away with Scotland. The others will no doubt get some time off.

Haven't read the posts.  But the board should be having a meeting with him not him with the players.

How on earth can you have 62% possession with 0 shots on target? That's absolutely astonishing, really is. You don't even need to watch the game to know what happens anymore, it's so obvious. Passing about at the back and nothing else. Absolutely depressing stuff.
