You're spot on but you're also forgetting Pars fans will forgive any sort of misgiving if you run about like a daftie and fly into tackles.

He definitely was an 'ace'. He wasn't nicknamed Diego for nothing. I still remember being absolutely gutted when he left.

It wasn't necessarily about not creating pressure, it was about making unrealistic targets that would never be met that just sound like a wish list and I get that approach. However, that doesn't mean I accept the current state of play. Thinking everything is fine because 44 points is still possible is clearly a flawed approach. I'd like to think that 44 points could be broken down into macro targets, ie, 44 ASAP, with an average of points per quarter being the absolute bare minimum barometer to measure success of where we are against target.

There is also that. We're not going to get 44 points if we continue to play negativity-ball. More that ****ty-Taka than Tiki-Taka...

It was exactly that. Think of it like a project plan, it's a milestone rather than a target. First milestone, get to 44 points as quickly as possible then re-assess the next milestone/ultimate objective dependent on when that is and continue to do that when you hit every milestone.

I don’t think so, he wasn’t a great defender. In fact, he was often bullied into conceding headers at the back post. It happened in half of the Rovers games last year resulting in goals. We now have absolutely nothing wide left unless we let KRH free from staying tight inside. See Utd game last year, the Rovers game and Saturday.

I've been screaming this for weeks. The rovers game was the only game I've seen us get men beyond the ball. Saturday it was back to the old cautious ways first half and we got leathered. Second half, we got men on to get beyond the ball and guess what? We created chances! Who'd have thought it!? I've given McPake a bit of grace until Saturday, but it's now obvious that the players not being brave is down to how they are being set up to play. I get trying to be hard to beat, but it shouldn't be at the cost of winning, especially when we aren't hard to beat!

Correct. It's typical of Pars fans though, I've said it for over 20 years. One person makes a statement, and keeps repeating it, others join in, then it becomes established as 'fact' because a huge number of football fans have no clue about the game or what they are actually watching to form their own opinions so they go along with what they think is the majority in order to not sound stupid, which is ironic.

It can only mean that. He hasn't featured in warm ups of previous games, and was doing runs which is usually for players not used or not playing 90 mins after the match. |I think he's signed and we're just waiting on his registration coming through.
