Das Rave Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Satisfied. Great signings, some strange selections and formations. But he is a young manager gaining experience Passionate, kicks every ball. Could do to curb his 'enthusiasm'. But he is a young manager gaining experience Comes across as a bit arrogant at times, when I've spoken to him he seems a bit aloof but maybe thats just me. I don't have to want to go for a pint with the man, as long as he does a good job for St Johnstone I'll be happy. Which so far, he is!

St. Paddy Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I took the title of the thread at face value, and rated him on all of 2012. The start of the year seemed to go well, showed promise but I was a bit puzzled by the young lads he brought in and presumably paid a wage to, then forgot to play. I think this demonstrated his under-rating of Scottish football, and more than a little naivety. We let it go, because lee croft saved his arse, and was missed hugely when he was injured. Then we had him talking up gers in the papers, again displaying a certain naivety and a disconnect from how the fans felt. Around this time he was muttering about the distractions of Europe, which showed his disregard for the fans. Comments about over achieving didn't help his cause any. To off set this, he did make some very good signings in the summer. A sticky start to the season, in a period shrouded in controversy had many, me included, calling for his head. All through this we have had many run ins with authority. We have had snide comments about budgets and size of the squad he has been allowed to assemble. We also had a purple patch, an almost unprecedented run in the league which may have saved his bacon. So over the piece, the negatives far out weigh the positives.

Abernethy Saint Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 In a few months, is already one of the most successful Saints managers on paper. MOTM, winninig sequence, shot at Europe, looking good for top 6 for only the seond time. Very satisfied. Not happy about the twattish behaviour on the touchline. The anti-Lomas guys have never, ever said what he has to do to satisfy them, other than bewildering nonsense abou how Scobie should have been two inches to the left when he got that long pass in the friendly against Ballymena Rovers, his subbies are shite (but only when we lost - apparently they become brilliant and Christ-like when we win), he once folded his arms and looked bored when we played CowRangStDU, here's 14 paragraphs of detailed tactical analysis that proves when we beat Celtic we were actually shite, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. In specific terms, in terms of results and placings, WHAT would satisfy you? I asked the Beloved. She replies she is very satisfied by Lomas' performance. I wasn't aware they had met.

sign dave Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Good signings, clearly doing something right in training, so would get the satisfisied vote for me, but I feel his lack of discipline is rubbing off on the players, Cant remember when Ive seen so many red cards for Saints so close together, so that brings me down to neither.

Smarmy Arab Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Positives -Good signings -Excellent organisation of back 4 (a must if you want to be successful, the rest is experimental) -Rebuilt the team quickly and impressively after losing key players (Morris, Fran, Sheridan) -Is getting the best out of key players McKay is growing in his role (last weeks red mist aside) Davidson is similarly starting to fulfill his potential. -Getting results, Saints are stick on for top 6, every chance of better. -5/6 straight wins (I think?), no mean feat this season, I doubt any other team has matched this or will before the season is out. -Instilling a winning mentality, no surprise the team were petulant last week, just bested the team who were very recently top of the league, all over the park, and lost a late goal after missing a penalty, it hurt and the team showed it! (Again yesterday showed a lot of balls.) -He and his team are universally underrated, (even on here) never a bad thing. Negatives -Changes the team too much -Is dreadful with a camera or microphone in the vicinity -Has to balance aggression/passion with a more measured approach, as this is spilling on to the pitch. -Never talk about sevco! (all these can be changed without too much difficulty!) Mike and john1962 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't either. Some on here have had it in for SL from the start too and are clearly unable/don't want to change their views. However, I've a bone to pick with you......you make comments on here that are far too sensible and measured - we can't have such things on a footie forum!! :-) THE LARK SAINT, Bridgendboy, Mike and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 The thing is, and I'm not seeking to simply justify myself here as I'm possibly the biggest detractor. These days managers are more accessible and in the spotlight more. Its not simply a results business anymore. It is not particularly fair but managers are judged on many different factors these days.
