Strawman Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 3 hours ago, RandomGuy said: Sure the papers are reporting Sidibeh wont play any part in this game. I’m suprised Levein hasn’t taken more stick for Sidibeh collapsing, a player who has been full time for around a month and running him into the ground when there was no need, options on bench to replace him. I see we ve gone back to expecting fans to pay for interviews building up games again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second , no sign of any improvement from the new professional media team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice to see that the youth players exist all of a sudden and match updates on twitter are a lot more frequent. Remember they’ve only been at the club for two weeks. What are you expecting them to have magically improved? These guys are being paid by the club so it’s completely unfair to expect them to be asking difficult questions - every club is exactly the same.

Give them a bit of time, and I doubt they get to choose whether the interviews are free or behind a pay wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I know it's stating the obvious but these next two game are absolutely gigantic for us now. If we lose tonight and then go a goal down against Livingston, I can see there being some serious unrest in the stands at that game. It'll put us deep in a slump while Livingston and Ross County are in the ascendancy. If that happens I really struggle to see Levein and Kirk being able to turn it round and get the fans back onside. They seriously need to go for it tonight and demonstrate they're willing and able to come up with a different, more effective plan. If it's still a defensive plan then so be it but it absolutely needs to be something that can actually start getting us results.

I think it is really important that we criticise the management for their failings, and quite a lot of the time we are going to be speculating because none of us know what is going on behind the scene. But to suggest that Levein has deliberately put a player's health at risk is going too far. PerthSaint01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to suggest that Levein has deliberately put a player's health at risk is going too far. I haven’t said he did anything “deliberately”, he clearly likes Sidibeh, why would he try to hurt the lad. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s brand new to full time football, it was obvious he was tired, the management made the decision to leave him on when we had 3 substitutes still we could have still used. I m not suggesting any deliberate intent, I think it was a poor decision and it played a part in the player collapsing. Your correct though, that is speculation on my part, there could be any number of other reasons why it happened.

We caught a wee break last night with a late equaliser for St.Mirren but this game tonight is now a must not lose. I have got to believe that Levein and Kirk know this. The team really need to be ready from the off for a battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To suggest that a manager's decision contributed to a player's collapse is a very serious accusation, particularly when (to my knowledge) we have no information at all about what caused Sidibeh to collapse. This sounds to me more like having a go at Levein for absolutely anything and everything rather than focussing on his mistakes regarding the things he actually has some control over or could reasonably be expected to anticipate.

Levein said after the match it was "low blood pressure" related, and i think thats all we've had. Sidibeh has generally been ****ed by ~75 minutes in every game ive seen him start, so maybe this is just a culmination of running himself into the ground too often. Presumably a plan will be put in place, helped by doctors, to help him understand how it feels before he reaches that stage and how to help avoid it getting that bad again.

I know we are always looking for a settled selection but now is not the time to stick with team who started on Saturday. I don't rate Gallacher at all and so I hope we get Kelts back with McGowan. Nicky Clark looked a bit lost too so hopefully we can find him being pushed further forward. Aberdeen are on a poor run also so it's important we try and get an early goal and put further pressure on them; I'm depserate for us to get the first goal to see if we can push on. Be good to see Stevie May on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the lad clearly wants to impress so is willing to do anything which is nice to see from a player. I'd quite like to see him as an option from the bench for a couple games. With his speed I reckon him coming on in the last 20-30 minutes either out wide or centrally could cause some chaos on a tired defence.

R.B.B:- Adz Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 (edited) That looks like a bit more of a balanced starting 11… Looking forward to seeing Sprangler, Phillips and M.Smith in the same side.

RandomGuy Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Looks like 4-3-3 Mitov Keltjens - McGowan - Gordon - Robinson Smith - Sprangler - Phillips Jaiyesimi - Clark - Kimpioka Did @Aitchy not pretty much suggest that on this site a few days ago?
