He's also the one persisting with an ineffective and insufficient-for-our-current-situation 4-5-1 shape. Grant obviously gets a lot of the blame. The BoD too. But Hughes is not doing the job right now, and is not immune from criticism of performances and results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with the team selection side of it, starting McCann near enough every game was ridiculous imo and could come back to cost us. I just meant in terms of the squad it’s so poorly balanced because of what happened before he arrived. I still have faith he can keep us up, it’s not like we aren’t creating enough just need to stick them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is he's ostracised two of them and his 451 formation doesn't look like it'll work with O'Hara. Just look at the impact the managers have had of Ayr, Morton and QoTS, then look at us, and none of them have had the resources that Hughes had, the team on Saturday had two Grant signings, Dorrans who Hughes thinks is the best player at the club, and Pybus, who was our best player. There was five Hughes signings, it's his team to a decent degree. It was Hughes who decided Gaspuitis was to go and it was Hughes who brought in Ambrose who's been responsible for the losing goals against Killie and Arbroath. Trying to absolve Hughes of blame is bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to absolve Hughes of blame is bizarre. I don't think he is being absolved of blame, the club were an utter shambles at the the time he came in. Gaspuitis wasn't playing under the previous 2 managers either. The situation is we have no winners and only losers. The January windows always awful to get decent players, our league position didn't help that. the other clubs have kicked on with our results against them being awful. With the exception of maybe a coupe of fans calling for Bullen no-one else put the others forward and would no way have expected Morton and QOTS to be picking up the points they have the past few weeks. Hughes isn't helping himself with the team selection and having McCann on his own, i'd have hoped last week after bringing in a midfielder that would have changed but nothing we can do about Saturday. We should have won hit the woodwork three times and the other results went against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to absolve Hughes of blame is bizarre. From the start he was saying the midfield wasn’t good enough to play 4-4-2, and he was right. Anytime we played that we got overrun countless times. However, now he’s signed his own midfielders we should be good enough now to go 2 up front and no excuses. Todorov is absolutely hopeless, look at some of the chances he’s missed too just don’t think he’s good enough. Fair enough Wighton and Ohara I’d have played them in a front 2 now if it was possible, as they 2 got us goals playing that way last season. Not saying yogi isn’t blameless at all but if he’s got players in the Squad he doesn’t want then what can we do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we were unlucky to lose to a degree, I don't see how we deserved to win, Arbroath had a good few chances of there own in the second half, and defended far better than us. 13 minutes ago, kelty_par said: From the start he was saying the midfield wasn’t good enough to play 4-4-2, and he was right.

That's why i feel we should have won the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Riva Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Back on topic. We're fast running out of games, so if we're going to avoid the drop, we really have to carve out some wins. Tomorrow is massive. I hope we approach the game in the same positive manner we did at Palmerston last month. Even a win still leaves us with a lot to do, but it would be a start. Draws are no use if we are to secure our status. I would take 9th right now if it was offered and take our chance in the play offs. Quite frankly, if we can't see off the likes of Airdrie, Montrose or Falkirk in two legged ties, with home advantage in the return, we deserve to be relegated.

Defeat tomorrow will definitely mean the Play Offs, or worse. Ayr and Morton should win at least 2 more games this season imo. At least if we do get beat, I'd like to see us have a go. Nae more hard luck pish. Edited March 11, 2022 by scottyboy Ayr v Killie tonight. If Ayr win they will be 11 clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted March 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Killie 2-0 up already, more of the same please lol its now 3 up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Eleven Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Game day and I think this is a crunch match for the Pars. With the improvements made by the other bottom 5 clubs we really need to win this one to pull ourselves back into the race to avoid the bottom 2. The squad is good enough to beat Hamilton but they need to get the ball in the net. That has been Yogi’s biggest failing so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I hope he goes 4-4-2 today? Jakub Comrie, Amdrose, Donaldson, Edwards Lawless, Pybus, Chalmers, Thomas McCann, O'Hara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Roy Barry Fan Club Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I would be delighted to see a 442. I think he'll play Dorrans rather than Chalmers if a 442. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted March 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 The Pars in a 442 - it's almost the impossible dream. We simply just have to go for it now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
