RedRock Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Greeting our now inevitable relegation this morning with mixed emotions. Downside cr@ppy grounds, standard of football, lack of atmosphere and media coverage and, frankly, the embrassment of being a 'big club' playing in lower league... but there is an upside. Time to shift our vast collection of non-triers, non-developers and never-had-its. Thank God we no longer need to bring in useless journeymen as sticking plasters, who's only interest is their paypackets and flash cars. So, that leaves us with 2xfull-backs, plus Kelly and, probably, Anderson. Unfortunately, Carey and Stead are past it and will be gone, as will Adomah. On the management side, we seem to have a solid partnership - although last night's team selection was bizzare. Let's hope Plan B is better and more thoroughly researched than Plan A.

kevinmabbuttshair Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 FFS we're not down!! We will beat Wednesday Get a grip. Why do some find it so hard to accept the obvious. If you were looking from the outside in you wouldn't even give up a sniff of a chance. We're bottom and adrift because we're absolute junk, dross. Accept it and move on.

arpaul Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 FFS we're not down!! We will beat Wednesday Mathematically we may not be. However, if results deal a bum deal today, we could be three wins from safety. I sincerely hope you're right, But with nine points still to lose on our travels, I can't see us surviving.

Robin 101 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Agree. We were down at half time against Wolves at home ! Dont be stupid. If we had held on for 3 points away at wolves and drawn last night then we would be right back in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not doubting we are massively in the shit, you'd have to be a retard to feel the need to point out the obvious to me. However, IF we beat Wednesday we still absolutely have a fighting chance of survival. Therefore, I don't feel the need to throw in the towel just yet.

And if my Aunty had a pair of.........you know the rest. Inevitable now I'm afraid. SOD has done well with our home form but has probably made our away form worse. The players are ultimately to blame , of course , but he doesn't seem to have any type of plan for playing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rowley Birkin Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Really intersested to know how to offload players, sat on ridiculous contracts, fleecing the club ? Stuck with the vast majority until their contracts run out. Who wants them, and would offer better money? No one I'd wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All a bit of a joke to me now. indeed you have, even an old cynic like me was fooled by DMC's end of season rhetoric, the warning signs for me were the time wasted and then the obvious failing to sign a centre back and DMC believing he was the messiah and turn Elliott and Skuse from water into blue nun or should that be none, the way we are going the it'll be the feeding of the 5,000 next season.

I think the only bad luck dmc had was the bad injury and long recovery. Elliot has had two bad injuries and never really got himself back to full fitness, and I don't think he was ever truly fit under dmc. Everything else, dmc bought on himself. I have no time for people that fool people with talk and a nice persona. That is all he had. Glad he is gone, wish he never came. I was expecting so much more, just goes to prove all he had was hot air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting so much more, just goes to prove all he had was hot air.Maybe the problem was that the board over-estimated his influence on St Johnstone achievements, and maybe over-estimated St Johnstones achievement. Also they failed to appreciate that since we had no scouting system to speak of, it was of paramount importance that the manager had good contacts in the right places viz player procurement. How SOD got overlooked first time around I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not. Teams near the bottom? Wolves : Big club Sheff Wed : Big club Bristol City? : no. I'd wager that the majority of neutrals would deem Barnsley a bigger club too.
