TheWeeBlueDevil 0 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) the annoying thing is, we will and those defending ally now will think their blind support of him is justified. i am dreading falkirk away in the cup with him in charge Falkirk away is a good match to judge where we're at, a win would be a great result and show we're going in the right direction ... a defeat would strengthen your view that Ally is a dud I'm looking forward to the tie.

johnnyk 158 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 You have missed the point totally it is not one bad result or performance we had 6 months of these performances/results last year and the Manager/coaching team have not learned from it. The reaction will change when we see a change on the pitch which reflects the manager/coaches realizing what they are trying is not working. but were you saying this when we were winning leagues? i doubt it, the way we play has not happened overnight we have playing this style for years and mainly it's been successful. it may not be pretty but most fans dont moan after titles and cups have been won which is what we want to happen right? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerger 0 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 My biggest gripe with today's performance (apart from Goian and broadfoot's performances) was McCoist's inability to change the system early enough. It was apparent after about half an hour that Peterhead had set up to negate our two wing backs who had done lots of damage in the East Fife game midweek. We should have gone 4 4 2 at halftime taking Broadfoot off and putting Sandaza on. The man is incapable of reading a game and changing his approach to overcome the opposition's formation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well aware that Ally learned this crap from Walter Smith and I was equally critical every time he used it as it is possible to win matches with less negative styles of football. We don't have to put up with it just because its worked before there was a time when we won trophies playing 5 in attack and 2 in defence (as it was common to do this at the time) but times changed and so did the formations teams used. It is team for Ally to be his own man and stop doing everything just because that's the way Walter did it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54andcounting 0 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Celtic under Burns played the 'Celtic way' exciting attacking football that Stein before instilled in them...Walter blasted that out the water with a defensive, hit on the break type of game which helped in our run to the EUFA cup final - that tactic is still being used today by Ally, but like Burns before he's living in cloud cuckoo land 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 ....what I'm trying to say is: Burns was never a Stein, same as Ally will never be a Walter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
