Anything feels like an improvement. Same tactics week in week out despite lack of suitable players to play it. Terrible signings of old friends and extensions to favourites regardless of ability who play every week despite stinking the place out. Always looking at Dundee for any signings then even mcpakes old pals don’t fancy playing for him again and it all feels like we’ll have run out of road.
Have we ever been in this type of position before and the manager has turned it round and stayed on for another year or so? Calderwood after loosing quite a few in a row?
I feel like we need a change, we’ve gone from murder upfront to being murder upfront and at the back.

Is it the board picking the team and telling the manager that he has to stick with the same system/tactics, regardless of performances/results? Teams have worked out how to play against our system. They’ve found weaknesses and just know what they need to do to beat us. But McPake sticks with that system and leaves all these vulnerabilities. Even during the game today, it was clear that the system/shape was an issue and he wouldn’t change it. No excuse for that. Peter Grant changed things when it (eventually) became clear to him that the back 5 was a disaster.
Really bizarre though, since he was happy to change things up when we were winning most weeks last season. But now that we’re struggling, he’s sticking with the same rubbish (that just isn’t working at all) every single week. It just doesn’t make any sense.

This thread is completely disrespectful to James McPake and Dave Mackay by inviting fans to speculate on their successors while they are still in post and may well continue to be for some time to come. It`s not that long ago we were sitting comfortably in 4th and most posters appeared to be reasonably happy with our progress as a newly promoted club. (Last time Morton were at EEP, we gave them a real runaround. I think they had several first choice players out injured - yesterday, the boot was on the other foot.)
I`m sure that the manager is honest enough to hold his hand up and say that he was not entirely blameless for yesterday`s abject performance. Sacking him and bringing a new management team is not going to suddenly make our injured players fit or the ones who are fit much better.
There`s a lot of statements like "McPake brought in players A and B" and "McPake handed out multi year contracts to X, Y and Z." Do they know the players who have come in are the manager`s first pick? Perhaps, more likely, they are the players the club has managed to bring in, working within a budget with financial constraints? Was it McPake`s decision to hand out 2 or 3 year contracts to certain players, or was it from the Board?

Disagree completely, the management team...infact anyone in the game know it is a results based business and are well aware of the ramifications if results are not up to scratch.
We are very close to that point. 2 or 3 bad results away.
Add to that the level of non performance yesterday and someone should be held to account.
Anything else is just naive.

I don`t know. Do any of you know with absolute certainty?
Peter Grant and John Hughes were (rightly) criticised for not changing things when we were on terrible runs of form. Why should McPake be exempt from being held accountable to the same standards?
It was clear from very early on yesterday that our tactics weren’t working and Morton had an effective game plan to exploit our weaknesses. Other than an enforced sub (when he brought on a winger to play as a striker and didn’t change the tactics/shape), the manager didn’t change anything to try and fix this. Once it got to 3-0, it was far too late. Even then, he made changes to personnel, but kept the same shape/system that Morton had been destroying.
It’s been the same story for the last 7 games. We’ve stuck with this same system, despite the fact everyone in the league has worked out how to play against it. We’re seeing the same mistakes and showing the same vulnerabilities in every game and the players and coaching team clearly haven’t been fixing these issues. There’s no excuse for that, I’m afraid. Especially when he was (deservedly) praised for his ability to mix things up last season. I can’t understand why he’s now refusing to change things to turn around this horrendous form.
I’m not saying he needs sacked right now. But he needs to stop being so stubborn, if we’re going to avoid relegation. I’m definitely losing patience and any goodwill from winning the seaside league has long gone.

"This thread is completely disrespectful to James McPake and Dave Mackay by inviting fans to speculate on their successors while they are still in post and may well continue to be for some time to come."
Sorry GG but that`s the nature of football. Take the plaudits when they come, take the criticism when it comes. At the end of the day, this is dafc.net not JamesMcPake.net, we need to be concerned about the overall health of the club and not anyone who, with the best will in the World, is a transient figure in the story of the club.
"It`s not that long ago we were sitting comfortably in 4th and most posters appeared to be reasonably happy with our progress as a newly promoted club."
FWIW, I don`t think we were ever "comfortable" in 4th place - even when we were in the final play off spot we were only ever a fee points ahead of 7th or 8th, let alone 5th. While there were many posters who appeared reasonably happy, there were also plenty who were worried we weren`t kicking on and that our squad lacked quality.
In terms of who`s out there, I have no idea tbqhwy. If a change has to be made - and I`m not saying there should be, necessarily - you don`t want to end up in another John Hughes situation. Sticking or twisting, either way it`s a massive gamble and we need to make sure we get it right no matter what we do.

I predicted all this at the start of the season. Scapegoats and expectations based on the successful previous season.
I’ve been noticing our manager’s body language in recent weeks especially in his post match interviews. He looked dejected after the Queens Park game, out of sorts last week despite the point v the league leaders, and yesterday the same.
He knows the injuries list is concerning to all concerned but he can only work with what he can. I don’t envy his job at all. I just hope the board help him and we can get our players back sooner rather than later to get out of this rut. We could do with some luck.

Do you think he thought it was an either or? Why would he not want a competitive squad AND the academy? I`ll bet you a £ to a penny if he had to choose one or the other, he`d opt for a competitive squad. He`s unlikely to be our manager by the time the academy begins to bear fruit, either through choice or because he`s been sacked.

Personally I think it is not the right time yet for a new manager, however the errors of man management he made were to place two new players to displace potential players we have at the club like Miller Fenton, who was solid against Queens Park. There is the risk of these boys knowing they are down the pecking order to incoming loan players and also that the new players don’t know how the opposition play I.e. physical and high press.
Was McPake told that these boys have to play as part of the agreement? We will never know due to contractual obligations. Just that anything is possible.
I normally have an up down thinking of Chalmers but he should have been hooked before half time and not after 50plus minutes.
All I can say is something is not right with the players just now.

"It`s weird how people seem to think the sort of respect and common decency you would give in everyday life is irrelevant because it`s football."
In what other jobs do people usually only stay for between a few months and a few years? Is it disrespectful to speculate about who the next Bond will be when the current actor has a film to promote (as has happened plenty times)? Is it disrespectful to speculate about how Keir Starner might do in number 10 when Rishi Sunak is still prime minister? Is it disrespectful to wonder who will take over from Gary Lineker on MotD when he`s still hosting it? Because these are fairly comparable positions, whereas nobody is paying attention to who a manager in an office is (although it`s quite common to think that someone who impresses you in a more junior role might do well the next time the job comes up, which is how my missus got her current position).

Fxk off Riva, disrespectful? Seriously?
I posted my opinion. You don`t agree with it. No problem. Why do you feel it necessary to tell me to eff off?
I didn`t say whether McPake should stay or go. The time to discuss who you would like to see as the new manager should surely be after the post is vacant?
Eta. I understand that there are a lot of angry Pars fans right now after that abject capitulation yesterday. The buck stops with McPake, but he hasn`t become a poor manager overnight. He`s not blameless, but there are reasons for the poor run out with his control.
I`m not convinced that sacking him now would solve our problems.
Apologies for that, was on the sauce.
Ep.17 of East End Tales is out now with Andrius Skerla

Apology accepted. No harm done. I`m quite thick skinned. 🙂

In keeping with so much on this site, this thread is a complete disgrace. No matter who people who post on here are talking about, DAFC employees are human and have feelings, and have the right to earn a living without having to deal with the abuse thrown at them in here, both players and management alike.

So are you beat pals with the management wee eck, is that what it is? Because the players, coaches and management of a football club are pretty remote to me too. I don`t know them and apart from organised fan events I`ve never met them. Notice also you didn`t comment on which other positions are similar enough that successors will be commented on (seeing how the term of most other roles aren`t comparable) or about people in factories and offices speculating on people who might be a good fit for a future role of it comes up. Any reason why?

Of course I`m not pals with the manager but we have a common personal interest, something I don`t share with Keir Starmer, Daniel Craig or Gary Lineker. People discussing work matters with colleagues are unlikely to be posting them on a public forum. I don`t understand why fans can`t just make legitimate criticism and leave it at that.

As always, football is a two way street. Managers and players will happily look for other jobs while still at a club, they`ll have their agent put feelers out, they`ll apply for jobs and go for pre-interviews before asking if their current club will release them or resign so they can take up other jobs. That happens in football, fans commenting on possible replacements happens. Like I say - two way street.
