Given that there is a good chance we are going to need these guys to win a relegation playoff, and lots of them are likely to be away next season.
I don`t think it is a smart idea to keep telling them you want rid.
If they are pissed off enough they just might give us a parting gift that we don`t want.
Just like the last time.
It only takes one or two of them.
If they are worried about what is put
on a football forum ,and decide to play accordingly then professional football is not for them.
Secondly that`s assuming they are good enough to chose to win or lose .
Ok, so if they can`t take constantly being told that they are not wanted, then professional football may not be for some of them.
You may be right.
How does that affect them if they are leaving and they feel like giving us the bird on the way out.
I really don`t know if any of this squad would do that, but I have always believed some of the last lot did exactly that.
If you feel you are being short-changed, you are perfectly entitled to vent.
I just don`t think it is wise to be too heavy.
I really think the wise thing to do just now is to get behind them and try to boost their confidence.
I may be completely wrong, but given human nature, I could be right.
wettingoff the very people you need to perform for you just isn`t smart.
To counterbalance that is it productive to tell them everything is alright? Most of these guys were murder under mcpake and so far have continued in the same way under Tidser. Its clear that most of these players won`t get a gig any higher than the level they are at now.
Mcpake got the bullet mainly due to his recruitment and giving new deals to guys who were relegated last time they were in these waters.
I don`t think regardless of the outcome this season we will sack tidser until after the summer window has come and gone. Although summer will be massive for him. He needs to make sure recruitment is on point to avoid the same fate as mcpake. He also needs to look at himself, it`s very rare a manager changes his style or philosophy although a good example would be David Gray at Hibs. He was seen as a certainty to be the next manager to go until he changed his style to suit the squad at his disposal and now I think they are something like 14 unbeaten and stick ones for top sox at least. Survival is imperative for the clubs future considering the eye watering losses that you can receive in league 1. Change the style to try and stay up then try to implement your own way of playing in the summer when you can bring in players who will play that way.
This squad lacks character and it`s been clear all too often this season. 2 great examples where Hamilton on Tuesday where if it finishes 2 or 3 I don`t think it would have flattered Hamilton just after they scored they hit the post and were creating chances at will because we collapsed. The other example is the Airdrie away game we went 1 down to a team who at the time of the game had won 1 game previously and that was opening day of the season. Again went 1 down and couldn`t get a reaction out of the team against at that time the worst team in the league.
The worrying thing is we don`t back ourselves to get back into the game once going behind. That isn`t a trait we want when we are in a relegation dog fight. Unfortunately we look very similar to the mcpake team who got relegated from this league last time we have no belief or character when times get tough. Missing kane is massive for us but we know he will miss a fair amount of games season after season and we need to dig deeper to find a way around the problems. There are probably only 3 maybe 4 players who if we lost I`d be worried about. And 2 of them are just in the door and I think regardless of our status next season will not be here next season.

We really need a reaction.
Hopefully Kane is fit because without him we’ve offered nothing up top.
Don’t know where we go if we don’t get a performance after Tidser called the players out. Maybe he’s had some self reflection too and the tactics will be altered slightly.
Another big game and I’m actually looking forward to seeing how we react as I think this game could go on to make or break the season.

I am really intrigued in the reasoning why folk think launching a ball 60 70 yards is the answer to our problems? We don`t have great headers of a ball. If mcccan or kane happen to win it will just be a flick on to nobody.
So please tell me the answer to why launching the ball, basically reverting to Sunday league style, turning possession into, at best, a 50/50 heading competition. No wonder Scottish football is behind the rest of the world when we complain about our team wanting to keep possession.
Yes, the possession needs to go faster going through the lines, but that takes players taking responsibility, better movement and being braver. That isn`t just on the defence just passing for the sake of it. If options aren`t available, try again rather than launching it and letting them come at us.
Really struggling to come up with a successful side that boots it and chase hoping something might happen

Punting the ball 60 or 70 yards might not be the answer , but we certainly know that this playing it out from the back , with 7 or 8 passes before we get to the half way line isn`t the answer either . As others have said , we`re far too predictable and really need to mix it up.a bit .

It`s always interesting to read the analyses of fellow fans` re our current problems and their suggested solutions to overcome them but it`s important to get the facts right in making these assessments.
cammypar 1995 says `Unfortunately we look very similar to the mcpake team who got relegated from this league last time we have no belief or character when times get tough.`
Well, James McPake made mistakes as manager but he wasn`t in post when we got relegated. That was down to Grant and Hughes.
grelin states `Sadly you make a valid point Cammy in that we seem to lack the ability to fight back once we go behind.`
Tidser hasn`t been in post too long and maybe it`s too early to draw too many conclusions but we did come from 1-0 down to meet the Rovers 3-1 a few weeks ago.
Maybe these factual inaccuracies wouldn`t change the fundamental arguments but maybe they illustrate how fans` views can be influenced by impressions rather than hard facts.
What was factually inaccurate about my post ? Did we not completely collapse after losing the opening goal in both games mentioned?

Playing possession based football with players not used to it , or not capable of it is a minus right away.
Add that our pitch is like a bog ,and uneven bounces everywhere, knocking it about at the back is asking for trouble , even Queens last home stopped playing out because of the pitch.

No. You are correct. Criticism is necessary to facilitate improvement.
There is a world of difference between constructive criticism and abuse, though.
All I am saying is maybe we can voice our frustrations and disappointments without calling folk wage thieves and saying we can`t wait to be rid of them. That can only end badly. There is no need for it.

There`s a difference between criticising your players in public and doing it privately in the group. Some players also react better to different approaches. The best managers nowadays take that into account.
Of course, the .net rule is that if you`re not mentally bullet-proof as a player, you shouldn`t be playing football, so there is that.

Pay close attention to his interview after Hamilton.
He was actually advocating mixing up the play when needed and is bemoaning the lack of ‘character’ in the team to take the bull by the horn, something we are all crying out for as fans.
This notion that they have to strictly play a certain style for 90 minutes is nonsense. That’s down to the players on the park and I’d say lack of leadership in all areas of the park.

It’s a big game tomorrow and I have to be honest and say the conditions will suit Morton. They will deliberately make it a scrappy and physical game.

McCann seemed to step up a gear when Kane came on, he was DRoss up till then!

McCann seemed to come alive when Kane came on. Special mention to Comrie. Thought he was excellent. I was right behind the Bene red. Looks like he got the ball as it went off at an angle after the challenge. Hard to tell though

First half was a pretty brutal watch, the pitch is horrendous.
Nice to see us play a bit more direct and credit to Tidser for making that change, the pitch may have forced his hand but glad he changed it. First half though it didn’t work but paid dividends in the second.
Was baffled at the booing when Kane was subbed on for Young, it was exactly the right substitution, and Kane showed why we absolutely need him fit.
When Kane came on, McCann looked a different person, which was positive in terms of the match but not sure why it took that for him to get into gear.
Kane MoM for obvious reasons.

Kane so important but a shout out for Comrie winning that important header which led to the goal. Good to see him with the armband too.

First half was dug meat. We were far too narrow and it played right into Morton’s hands. Tobi however played well that half, couple of important saves.
2nd half change of formation helped give us width, a bit of space and then our pace overwhelmed them. Even after Bene going off we were the better team on the whole.

Genuinely, no idea why there was booing of the substitution. I didn`t think Young had done anything to warrant staying on.

The boos were directed at the decision to substitute Young while leaving Yeboah on the pitch. Personally, I fail to see what Yeboah contributes to the team, yet he consistently gets game time. At no point was Kane subjected to the boos. I love Kane and the value he brings to the squad; his unwavering grit and determination make him a formidable challenge for defenders. I relish his presence on the field, as I firmly believe that with him, our chances of success significantly increase. Therefore, we must protect him at all costs and ensure his return for Saturday`s match. Wrap him in bubble wrap.
Lesley King, during his struggles with injuries, refrained from training throughout the week, relying exclusively on cycling and swimming due to the limitations of his knee. Yet when Saturday arrived, he would grace the pitch as an exceptional defender. Had it not been for his injuries, I believe he would have been regarded as one of the best defenders in the world. I feel that a similar approach should be adopted with Kane—allow him to recuperate during the week and let him shine on Saturdays

Exactly, Yeboah was out wide and pretty ineffective, Young was through the middle and anonymous.
Seemed sensible to me that if Kane was coming on, Young was the one to go.

I`m not a fan of Yeboah but Young did nothing to warrant staying on either.
Yeboah did almost score from outside the box just before the substitution was made and linked up a bit better with Andre as the 2nd half progressed.

Oakley-Boothe needs a rocket up him. Strolling around in the midfield when we were up against it, there is a player in there but he’s to casual/laid back in his play not quick nor decisive enough.
Totally agree with this. Needs to work a lot harder for his team mates. I lost count of the number of times he should have been taking up better positions or giving players around him a chance to find him. Or driving forward with the ball instead of laying off a safe pass. Was like a man short at times.

A word too for Chris Hamilton who didn`t put a foot wrong after coming on. Fogarty was fine too. Definitely an argument that Benedictus was needing dropped anyway. Will see how we fare without him next week (we can possibly appeal the red card but I can`t see it being overturned).
It absolutely will be overturned

as someone mentioned some refs may have given a freekick against Kane leading up to the goal.
Maybe he realised his possible mistake with Bene and let Kanes goal stand .
Im not saying Kanes challenge was a foul ,but maybe in a weird way Benes sending off helped us in the end .

Yeah, believe the SPFL loan window has closed now, barring emergency loans. Can only sign free agents now dependent on when they left their club

I don’t think we’ll see anyone else in and I don’t think we need anyone else.
Team needs to settle and gel. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
I’ve a bit more belief in us now tbh. Hopefully Tidser gets his tactics right more often than not

Morton were on an impressive unbeaten run, yet they have now suffered three consecutive defeats. From what I remember , they tend to experience a phase of consecutive matches where they gain points.
What I must say is our remarkable ability to get the win despite being reduced to ten men; it was a testament to our resilience and fighting spirit. Which we’ve rarely seen this season.
Falkirk has conceded only one home defeat in the league this season, while we have secured just one win away. Achieving a draw would be a good outcome. However , I hope we can surprise them, get the three points and postpone or stop their aspirations of clinching the league title.

We won which was great…we can’t rely on an injury prone striker to do everything!
If Kane doesn’t start against Falkirk next week then we are stuffed..we beat a Morton team that on paper are *****….
Don`t see much wrong with this post tbh .
The 1st half on Saturday was complete guff , and the 2nd half started the same way . Only when Kane came on did we have any threat at all . The odd result here and there may not be enough for us , so it seems to me we will be relying on Kane to play as many games as possible in the run-in .
Well done on Saturday , but I`m struggling to remember when we last strung 2 good results together .

I think it`s already been said, but being a man down sort of helped us from what I can see on the highlights. Rather than slow build up we were going for long balls up the pitch and hoping for a smash and grab. Not saying that`s the solution but it worked on Saturday and it worked earlier in the season too. Possession football is great if you can do it right - having more of the ball means less chance for the opposition to do anything. However, it`s only any good if you can get through that final third. We saw it a fair few times that the team would get into that final third but by that point Morton had half the team camped in the box to knock shots back or deflect them away.

That too but tippy-tappy playing it to midfield, back to defence, back to midfield was getting us nowhere.

We`ve got the breaks in just about every League game we`ve won - a sending-off, penalties, a deflected shot in two games against the Rovers. We only beat Livi because they didn`t turn up and PT were knackered after playing 3 games in 8 days when we beat them 4-1. Now on Saturday we got the ultimate lucky break - we had a man sent off! I`m worried what`s going to happen when our luck runs out! 😀😀😀

I kind of get that we might not have won with 11 men.
Yes Kane made an immense impact as I stated on a thread I started but also the sending off forced us to go more route one which may well have contributed to our second goal.
But, had Kane not been on that park, we would have got nothing from it.
