I'd say he's changed the style of play completely, and he's brought in 3 players who look better than what we had before. Gray is definitely better because we never had a right back, El Algooly is 100% better than Collins, and the keeper looks decent whether he's better than williams we will have to wait and see.
The rest of his signings we cant really comment on because they have not really played yet?
I think Stubbs wants more players in, but money looks to be tight.

As usual after a derby defeat we are ****ing suicidal. FFS if you can't see that Stubbs has improved things no end in the short time he's been here you are either blind or at it.

Robertson could not find a player in a white jersey with a pass and Bauben could not find a player in a maroon shirt. The difference between them was the penalty and the sending off. It had been coming since the start of the 2nd half.

Think all some of us are saying is that if Hearts are now favourites for the title, we will not be too far behind. Still maintain there was little between the teams and I am far from being a happy clapper type.
And yes we need more players.

Most of us thought Williamson, Mixu, Yogi and Butcher were, in varying degrees, the men to lead us onwards and upwards. For various reasons they weren't.
I know I have left some of the other managers out.
This time we appear to have someone who is taking the club by the scruff of the neck and shaking it until his ideas and professionalism get through to all employees.
My only worry is if it for some reason, goes pear shaped, a lot of supporters will be spending their weekends at B and Q etc. We would be left with 4000 or so diehards.

Im disappointed we lost yet another derby, but its still far too early on in a new managers reign for some of the reaction on here.
I do however think that yesterdays game highlighted that if we want to have a real chance of competing at the top, we still need some quality brought in (and not kids on loan). We more or less competed with Hearts without really threatening them, which I think could be said of all 3 games this season where we are struggling to create and finish chances. Defensively I think we look fine, so if we could just sort out that balance and maybe bring in one or two more players, we could see the team comfortably winning games.

I have no objection to bringing in a kid on loan if they are good enough (for example that kid from Wolves whose name escapes me for some reason .....)
Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

**** it. Let's chuck the towel in now cause the huns best us with extra time and there was one ****ty goal separating us from the mutants, whilst our captain missed the penalty that would have changed the game.
Nae point in playing the rest of the games.
I am nae happy clapper. If it's ****, I'm happy to say so. I watched every home game last season and a few away games anaw. We were ****. Thats why we were relegated.
I must be stone radge as what I've seen so far doesn't make me reach for the Stanley blade...... Yes, we lost, we didn't need to and that goes for the huns match anaw. But we were far from the outclassed and lack of effort pish we had last year.
Doesn't mean it's good enough. But, it's not the same as last season....

AS is new to the job only he can say why he didn't sub Robertson earlier. Lessons learned.

We were honking yesterday, we have been honking for many years.
We need better players, it's as simple as that

I do agree we need more new players though. But to not have seen a difference from last season I wonder what you were watching!

I am just being totally honest, and it goes without saying I hope Stubbs succeeds and if he is given the playing staff he will as I do believe he is an accomplished coach.
But we are nowhere at the moment in terms of what is required to get out of that division.

My understanding is that the team which wins the so called Championship will gain automatic promotion. Let us assume that Rangers will do that. The teams which finish second, third and fourth go into play offs. If , say Hearts, are second it means that Hibs have to finish third or fourth to have a crack at promotion. Surely that is not beyond us. It may well mean that promotion will hinge on a home and away battle against Hearts which would certainly give us the chance to put all the 5-1 garbage to bed. Winning and leaving Hearts in the Championship would rank high above even the 7-0 day.
The plain fact is that we have to learn how to beat Hearts again. Watching the parts of the Rangers game which Hibs TV managed to broadcast here I saw Hibs playing a passing game which was really encouraging. Sunday was a different matter. Hearts modus operandi has always been to harry and obstruct and they have become quite good at it. The calm approach which was obvious in the Rangers game went out of the window as we were closed down quickly and effectively.
We need a few more (better) players to achieve promotion but all we get from the club is silence. If there is no more money then tell us. Continual speculation about transfer targets does nothing but demoralise the support.
Oh yes! It would be good if Mr. Petrie departed. He is well past his sell by date.

I've seen nothing to suggest that Rangers will win the league. Quite the opposite.

Funnily enough, Mrs Keekaboo and I just came back from a trip to Passau for our Wedding Anniversary and the first thing I saw on here when we got back was this thread.
Prophetic or what!

the lack of subs at crucial times have annoyed and worried fans, the game was there to be won, they showed intent and made changes, we continued with what we had, a player walking a tightrope that everyone knew would fall off.

In a lot of ways the game against Hearts was a 1 off. What will tell us how things will go in the rest of the season will be this coming Sat. Hearts are at Raith, Hibs have Falkirk at home these are games both expect to win and need to win if promotion is to happen. Dont think it will be as easy as some think.

Not only do I believe our squad is short of better players than last year, because we are short when inevitable injuries suspensions kick in we will be woefully exposed in some areas.
