Don't want to hear any rubbish about injuries, tired players blah, blah, blah. You've arguably had access to a better playing pool than your predecessors over last 3-4 seasons. Every club has a poor run of form, fair enough. Time to prove you 'pedigree'

Indeed. We have had injury issues with defenders but have plenty of midfielders and werent we supposed to be the fittest we ever have been the beginning of the season.

Just need to get the self belief and confidence back.

At least in part because of his decision to treble his support staff. Remember for example Sturrock deciding to do away with his goalkeeping coach as he wanted to spend that money on his squad instead. Well Brown decided he wanted an assistant manager in Penney and a chief scout in Chief Scout Bob Shaw on top of Coughlan who was Sturrock's (player!) coach.

For the record Brown's signed 9 new players and brought in a further 5 on loan

He's given new deals to half a dozen or so players he inherited from Sturrock and has given professional contracts to 7(?) youth players.


He did have a limit of squad players, but signing someone like Reid who he never played didnt exactly help. We also have the likes of Laird who have barely played.

Anyway, werent we actually doing better when restrictions were in place than we are now when they are not?
 
Our bad run has coincided with Prosser's injury. Tells you all we need to know.

Far too simplistic a reason. We drew 0-0 against York, how does a centre half stop you scoring ?

Our form was already dipping when he was in the side.

Certainly would have been part of the reason but lots of other factors involved.
 
Agreed we have lost our way a bit. Many factors at work like injuries, causing inconsistency in line ups. Brownie switching things around too much, what a strange albeit enforced line up at the start against York? Heavy pitches taking there toll on a young and relatively inexperienced side and Lady luck decided to stay in Portugal. Note to team, forget the sunny breaks for a while? Even Lenny looking a bit leg weary although maybe the stats would challenge that perception) Cant help too when the Manager keeps spouting what a great performance someone has then doesn't bring em in the next game. Still promotion on the way as we will make a great late run on friendlier pitches!!
