Gutted about today thought we could really kick on after mauling that lot, wasn't to be though. If you score 3 goals away at any ground 9 times out of ten you win.
I'm probably in minority that definitely think PC is the man for the job, I've totally done a 360 on that as was very vocal about wanting him out. My reasoning for this is that I had a good long hard think about how much money we had to slash, not getting his first pick players and tbh I'm seeing little partnerships forming on the park also little flashes of really good football.
I've mentioned before that last 3 O.F we have been the better team, imo he's figured Rodgers out but just needs 3-4 quality additions and a bit of luck and imo we will be just fine. This season for me was wrote off weeks ago, doesn't make today any easier but we just need to use rest of season at building partnerships all over the park. PC will probably get it tight of most but surely we need to take into account the injuries in defence, we really need to get that defence sorted as we are fine middle to front just being let down badly by defence imo. #pcmuststay.

I agree now blueboy its just out defence for starters there too small height wise.
05 Jan 2025 19:07:28
Can see how we play football now and when we attack like we did for the first half hour today it looks really good we have a striker who could go on to be anything he wants in the game, that is the positives, the negative is our centre defence, we will give every team a chance when you can’t defend set pieces or clear ure lines, injuries are hampering the team as I don’t think we concede two of those goals with Souter and Balagon in team.
05 Jan 2025 19:16:42
Boy blue glad hearing it mate, yes that defence needs sorted as fast as.
05 Jan 2025 19:25:53
That would be a 180 you've done, matey, not a 360.

BB I’m on the fence with PC at the moment. I’m definitely not his biggest fan and would have been happy to see him go a couple of months back. The biggest reason being as I didn’t see any improvement in any of the players or any direction.
Over the last month we have seen players in the forward positions getting fit and we are seeing something and scoring goals now. Now we are picking up injuries at the back and if these guys were fully fit I don’t believe half the goals we have lost over the festive period happen.
I also believe PC has been unlucky with some of the decisions that have went against us recently. I don’t think it’s a penalty today as Hagi gets himself between the ball and the man and the exact same happens in their box we would be looking for a penalty as Hagi did everything correctly getting between the ball and the man.
But PC hasn’t helped himself with some of his selections and substitutes. Then some of his press conferences are bewildering and I choose not to listen to them.
Hopefully a good couple of signings over the next couple of weeks helps the guy I’ll wait to see but we need consistency with results especially away from home.
Time will tell and do hope he proves the doubters wrong me probably being one of them. I do believe he is here for the rest of the season though.

We need to accept that this is a rebuilding season. Clement needs a few transfer windows to get team right. Remember he is not responsible for the previous mistakes by the board / managers.
05 Jan 2025 19:48:36
Boy blue, a very well written and honest post, well done to you.
05 Jan 2025 19:50:37
PC has been here is it 15 months or so and look at the players who have left - he will get us there he is a good manager - hard with the defence we have currently need souttar back at least - feel what we lack is some dig and strength at times - need some guys who are up for the battle at a rain soaked Easter road - we at times can be out tackled and our muscled - think back to Ferguson Robertson butcher gough brown hurlock sourness Gattuso Roberts the list goes on and on these guys knew how to battle and put everything on the line - we need more dig and a big ball winning no nonsense CB in my opinion ??????.
05 Jan 2025 19:56:01
Yep, good post blueboy. It's a 180 from me as well for exactly the reasons you have raised so eloquently ?.
05 Jan 2025 19:57:09
Women aren't very good at counting?.
05 Jan 2025 21:09:50
Kidding aside BB your spot on mate gd post well written???.
05 Jan 2025 21:21:10
Good post BB.
What I will say is we will not win a league title with PC as manager.
05 Jan 2025 22:08:35
Yip a 180 ss ??
Cheers for the feedback guys.
Can I just ask if anyone else has changed there mind on pc?
Ss what's your thoughts on him? Do you still want him out? Is he changing your thoughts at all
What about this boy igamane? He is something else, the way he bullied Bashiri with his sheer power a couple of times was a joy to watch, it's not just his goalscoring his all round game is superb, will only get better imo, does anyone think he looks more suited to rugby ?.

As a fierce critic of PC, I really don't know what he could have done today.
Has he been responsible for most of our dropped points? Yes! But today, he starts the strongest 11 available to him, the same players who wiped the floor with the tims only a few days back, and played the same tactics.
Today's result was down to the players, especially the defence. Our defence was awful today, especially our keeper and FB.
He needs to start winning away, over prolonged period. Our away form is diabolical, and until he sorts this, we are stuffed.
He needs better players. We need a full new CB pairing! Jefte is a good player going forward, but he is just awful at defending and is very careless. Today's defending was criminal, and to think we are paying a player 10k, who never plays, and then gets thrown about like an empty chip poke when he finally plays, is a joke.
PC gets a pass for now, but it won't last if this awful trend away from home continues.
05 Jan 2025 23:45:02
Totally agree about away form ss, it needs sorting and quick mate, but i do believe he can sort it. Your absolutely spot on about it being basically same team that beat that lot, what more can he do? Reading between the lines of your post your views are changing slightly from 3/ 4 weeks ago?
Storm your pretty adamant he's the wrong man are you seeing any progress? Or do you just mot rate the guy at all?
06 Jan 2025 00:19:48
It has Bb4, mate!
Just like SG before, when he set his teams up against the tims, and had the measure of them, I seen the exact same on Thursday as I seen back then. Just like us just now, SG's first 2 seasons were littered with defeats and draws against the smaller teams, but I always had hppe because he could go up against the tims in one on one games, and play them off the park.
2 things we desperately need are new, higher calibre CB's who walk straight into the team, but I don't know where we get the money from. Also, we need to start winning away, and that needs to start now.
06 Jan 2025 00:56:42
Thought it was a good post BB. Probably goes a long way explaining how a lot of the fans are feeling at the moment.
06 Jan 2025 01:32:07
Agree with all of that ss. If pc is slowly changing your mind then he's doing something right that's for sure, also glad that other fans are seeing what I'm seeing and not afraid to admit it.
06 Jan 2025 07:20:20
Totally agree sunshine ?We need two big experienced, imposing centre halfs who can go right in there mate ? No young project centre halfs need for where we are defensively just now ?.
