He won more points than any other (non OF) team during that period I'm sure.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We had won 2 games from our first 12 before he came in. He won 5 of his first 12 including a 3-0 vs Aberdeen and 2-0 at Tynecastle. Also got us to the Scottish Cup semi in that immediate period after taking over.
You can't criticise him for a 7th placed finish when we were actually sitting 6th and steadily climbing the table before the season was cut short.

I feel JR hasn't got the team playing to their potential.
We create very little chances, even in the games we do win.
Individually, I think our players are good enough, they just don't sync together. So many passes last night into empty space where the passer thought a teammate would be.
Discipline clearly poor as demonstrated last night.
A couple more defeats and I would be ready for a change in management.

I'd have thought having qualified to 2 semis and a cup final, we would have been in a decent position compared to others in the league. I appreciate every club has it's issues due to Covid situation but surely we were in a semi healthy position?
I am not in the know in any shape or form but concerns me that us fans perceived the club to be in a mess.
Granted, we had a very poor transfer window in the summer but I would hazard a guess that our transfer thread would suggest some fans were happy with our business and we had got it done nice and early.

I was just pointing out that he hasn’t delivered consistently high league finishes like BK was praising him for.

In my view we had a tremendous base to build upon. A strong squad of players, access to a level of investment that meant we could compete with our nearest rivals. The future was looking green.
Whatever the failings of the window, we should have enough to out perform the likes of Ross County. It's not just one game though, that's 5 in a row. It's looking like Sunday was a bit of freak and we are reverting back to the poor form that preceded it.
Ross's coat is on a shaky peg, a loss at the weekend and he's gone.

His job is safe until the cup final at least, I genuinely think we could lose every game between now and then and he won’t get sacked.
Once the cup final is out the road is when pressure will start to build of league form doesn’t improve IMO.

This is beginning to have the Hecky feeling to it now IMO. Players underperforming, discipline going and no sign of a reaction.

Five league losses in a row is terrible. Sunday reinforces the point that on a regular basis JR is way off getting the best out of this team.

We are missing two of our best attacking players for Saturday, then play Rangers and Motherwell at home.
Apologies, but we look far from being out this run of form.

I wish I shared your optimism and I did for some time before.

I really don't see him being forcibly removed anytime soon. Certainly not before January. Even then if we are well clear of relegation (and I really don't believe that is something we have to worry about) I wonder if they will take the approach of letting him steady the ship then not standing in his way is an offer materialises in the summer.
Obviously if a 5 game slide becomes absolute freefall hands may be forced.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I don’t think our firm will magically turn round after that but I just can’t see us continuing to lose every week. St Johnstone not playing well just now and missing some big players as well.

Old Huns 1-2, game changed by dubious red card
United 0-3, awful
Sheep 0-1, huff puff powderpuff
Celtc 1-3, blown away, but they will do that to lots of teams
Ross C 0-1, played ok, made some chances, beaten by a fluke
That's 1 awful, 2 mediocre and 2 we'd never get much from. On the back of 7 unbeaten before that and reaching a cup final with one of our most memorable wins in decades, to talk about "sackable" is beyond ridiculous.

That’s modern football whether you like it or not and at the end of the day it is a results driven business.

I think the Aberdeen game we never even managed a shot on target? Aberdeen were on a terrible run at that time as well I think. That falls into the awful category for me as well.
