Well, result was poor does not matter what happened last twenty minutes terrible performance, our level as I said on another forum is Dunbarton/Alloa we will be scrapping for 8th place.
What a load of rubbish mate.
This person said I was talking rubbish after the 2-2 draw, when I said we will be scrapping for 8th place, at this rate we will be lucky to get 9th place play off, I would not rate our chances against a team from League 1 in a play off.
As for John Boy, well there was a certain Mr Adams in the stand on Saturday sitting next to ex-Morton and Rangers Striker Dougie Robertson, who is David Robertsons (Robbo) Dad shall we say observing.......

More of a meow than a roar as Lions lose againThe situation is by no means critical for Livingston, but even the most optimistic of Lions fans will admit that the club is in a rut and in dire need of win in the Championship. John McGlynn’s men are now eight games without a victory following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat away at Alloa. They haven’t tasted that winning feeling in the league since the end of August – ironically, when they vanquished the Wasps 4-0 at home – and any bounce from reaching the Petrofac Training Cup final has dissipated. Crucially, they’ve slumped to second-bottom in the league and are only a point ahead of basement boys Cowdenbeath. This latest loss at a sodden and windswept Indodrill Stadium was an improvement on their shock Scottish Cup exit at the hands of League 2 Annan two weekends ago. Livingston probably deserved a point on the balance of play, but they failed to take their chances and at times defended like amateurs. The back-line is fast becoming their Achilles’ heel and it won’t be helped by a suspension for Declan Gallagher, sent off late on in this match, and another injury to skipper Simon Mensing, who wasn’t fielded due to a calf strain and won’t be fit for a few weeks. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/livingston/more-of-a-meow-than-a-roar-as-lions-lose-again-1-3599732

McGlynn is sounding like a broken record another game on Saturday he thinks we should have won. He forgets we cleared the ball off the line 2 or 3 times on Sat. McGlynn needs a reality check and I. Am very surprised he is still in a game. Results driven business and he has failed in getting the result - Cheerio John!

I hate for managers to get the sack but we really are very poor just now and that lies at the managers door because its him that picks the team and the tactics they play, and quite truthfully we're awful just now.  |

I think we need to remember that any new manager would be restricted to the same squad, due to the transfer embargo. That's very limiting to a replacement candidate manager. So we're left to discuss tactics and team selection as the only things that a new manager could do. What would he change for the status quo? I do believe that we have a tendency to resort to a punt up the park to Jordan White, who's aerial ability needs work. We don't play with much width but have looked decent when we've done so. There are some players who'll be chomping at the bit to get a chance - Beaumont, Praprotnik and Rutherford for example - but managers tend to rely on the tried and tested squad members in a crisis. They're risk averse, recognising that experiments could fail and cost them their job. I'd like to see what JM does over the next couple of games against teams of our own level. That'll tell us whether we're going to turn a corner or just plod on.
Everyone needs to remember that it costs money to sack a manager and it's possible the club simply can't afford that. We also need to consider the cost of maintaining the status quo...........
Not easy.

I am getting fed up parting with my pension watching Livi FC. No-one seems to care down there so why should I? Jimbo: In modern football, players and managers are fleeting, they come and go. The only constant at a club are the fans. If we dont care, no one will. We may have to grind it out for a little while but please keep the faith if only for your fellow fans. |

I have a friend who has found John's Linked in profile: It says he is actively looking for work?  ? Perhaps his concentration is elsewhere? |

That said it would be interesting to see how this is being dealt with on a club management level? is the manager receiving guidance and performance improvement support or is he left to flounder on his own. Does the managers "union" have support mechanisms, for example doctors have their peer reviewed paper/publication and seminars about differing issues. I just wondering how "professional" football is in this regard? |
