I decline to answer that on ground that it may incriminate me.

I can't be arsed with Tom Lawrence. He has a haircut like a thirteen year old.

At least he's not wearing double demin.

Don't think it's quite that simple. Sacking him would cost us a fortune. There are no obvious replacements. We only have skeleton staff at board level. We knew this wasn't going to be easy. We can't keep sacking managers ever Autumn.

I liked the subject, but thought the question wasn't constructed well.

Big Dunc won't be out of a job for long and he's conducted himself brilliantly during ICT troubles.

Do people expect insightful answers during press conferences? May as well ask them what they're having for tea, for all the use it is. The only important stuff happens on the pitch.

But we do both. He is right. We pass the ball about at the back, realise teams wont be drawn out into pressing us then play direct longer. I still think it would work better if we had Prso / Jelavic / Cousin / Morelos up front. But we don't. He's also asked in the past why we are so easy to play through (one or two passes straight down the middle can cut us open). The manager didn't give an answer to it, just fluffed around it. The answer is pretty obvious to me that we play in a way that leaves us open but if players win the duels then it should be an issue. Soutter lost his on Sunday and we lost the game.

I posted this on the other thread: Terrible question. He gave PC an out. PC has a point - too many sideways passes or too many long balls. Which is it? He should have just stuck to long balls. It was a good idea to ask about style, though. We don't get that often.

The club set expectations in the summer with the downsizing and the new contract for the manager. Not sure what the support were expecting.

Don't we require it to participate in European football?

It was a joke mate, have a wee can of juice and chill.

I’m in favour of that but will we have the collective patience to let them settle? (Alex Scott scored a hat trick in his first match!)

I wasn't too bothered about the Hagi situation a few weeks ago but surely we need to get him or Bajrami in behind the striker. The pair of them are more creative than Lawrence.

Actually the haircut is the least of it.

That's the thing. No one cares what managers or players say if the team are winning.

Thanks. Terrible question. He gave PC an out.

The only England manager to have a 100%record

It’s caley thistle but if Dross Clarty go the same way my heart won’t break.

I guess you would know, given that you are on here more than anyone. Self appointed Thread Polis was your calling 😂

He wants every game to come as fast as possible sounds more like someone in a dentist’s waiting room saying to himself let’s get this over with so I can get out of here.

Well done to Stevie Clifford asking him that question, its not easy to put yourself out there and ask something that the manager wont want to hear. Or the usual cookie cutter guff for the usual suspects like Raman and Kheridine.

I think we will have no choice but to be patient by the looks of things currently

Good way to get players fit and ready for first team action though.

I have more faith in Phil than I had in Gio or Beale at this point, but it’s diminishing rapidly.

I'll look into that 'Libre Office' soon thanks.👋 At the moment msoffice seems not too bad. Think the problem at the moment is the amount of time it takes to save to the 'cloud'.... patience is required as when you just save to the laptop/pc and 'not' the cloud then the next time you open the files (if you're online) it can (I imagine) be a wee bit risky. I dare say they'll be better ms software available soon. Mediafire as a host itself is okay.

We unearthed Morelos for £1M - good scouting, great value for money and turned into our top goalscorer in European compitions.

That's exactly it. Remove Dessrs and Lawrence and replace them with who? Dessers isn't a player who can play as a loan striker, yet the manager plays him as a loan striker and we expect it just to work or surprised and shocked it doesn't? The system needs changed to attempt to get the best out of the players we have.

If we could shift Dessers for 3-4 million in January and sign Shankand(who I don't think is particularly great tbh) for 500k and pay him 15k per week that's an instant upgrade for me. That's how bad he is. We also need to stop signing centre backs that are soft as sh**e like Propper. I also lost count, the number of times Cerny could have went in to tackle his man and he just didn't bother and backed off, backed off a few 50/50's too. That's pointless.

Dessers, Lawrence, Matondo and Cerny all have 4 Goal Involvements (goals + assists) this season. I think the point is Dessers and Lawrence are not doing anything special; they're just available. We need better all-round.

He wasn't a 'showy' player - just quiet and efficient. Maybe that was the reason, but Clough was some judge of a player.
