| 42. Author: Gadgie59 Date: Sat 26th Oct 2024. 23:59 I salute the faithful that follow the pars, regardless, but sadly…I haven’t been to a single game this season. Gladly paid for 2 season tickets…but am at the stage in my life where I want something to look forward to on a Saturday afternoon and I just can’t suffer what has been going on over at EEP, for the last few years, anymore. To be honest, I’m not even sure what DAFC is anymore; dressing room seems to have a revolving door and the performances on the field are more theatrical than competitive sport … players seem to be given a role to play and they either can’t or don’t want to deviate from it … just don’t see any initiative, passion or inspiration. It simply looks like a bunch of blokes going through the motions and whatever deal their agent cuts next season will determine what strip they’ll be pulling on. For me, not worth turning up for. “Football is a beautiful game, It should be played beautifully.” Brian Clough. Reply |
| 43. Author: Muppet Par Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 07:33 Club is rotten to the core from top to bottom, total joke. We had areal chance after admin to establish ourselves as a top championship/lower prem side after a few years of building. The mismanagement from owners has been terrible. From managerial appointments to transfers it’s been a disgrace. Our record in the transfer window is as bad as it gets the last 3/4 years, signing utter dross every window who don’t have a club for a reason. As for McPake, he might be the biggest joke of all. Hasn’t a clue, team look like they don’t have a clue every time they step onto the park. His record at this level is abysmal, no manager in Britain survives the run he’s been out. But all we’ll hear is we csnt afford to sack him. Joke club  Reply |
| 44. Author: Lesliepartoo Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 08:06 First off all I don`t rate mcpake as a manager. But.....this season we`ve drew with Ayr. Beat rovers. Should have beat airdrie. Dominated morton. An unlucky deflected own goal yesterday. Shots cleared off the line. Etc etc Team selection is questionable every game we play and no matter how the game is going he cant seem to change the way we play. We put long high balls into krh and he`s never going to win any off them against anyone. Wighton should not be playing at this level yet starts every game when he`s seemingly fit. Whats sutherland and cooper got to do to get a start.. I cant see them getting rid of mcpake any time soon but I hope I`m wrong. Seems like Davie hay allover again and every other **** manager we`ve had. We seem to wait till it`s too late to try and change things Cmon ye pars Reply |

| 46. Author: Berry Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 10:58 We’re in a position where we are now avoiding the inevitable, even if we win the next couple, the next defeat McPake will be getting called out so it’s now really down to the Board and their bottle on making the difficult decisions. Reply |
| 47. Author: Jeffery Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 12:07 I don`t think I`ve really posted on any of the `mcfake`, `mcpake out` type threads, not because I`m the most patient fan but because it doesn`t help more and more people piling in going over the same ground. The time has come though. As an analytically minded person it`s now become really really hard to find any statistic to back keeping James McPake. You could somewhat ignore statistics and excuse a lack of results and goals if there was an attractive style of play with games were being decided on a knife edge, or if there were periods of nice play but no consistency. That is not the case. If I were a player in this team, one who had grown up loving `the beautiful game`, I`d hear the team selection/tactics and my heart would sink. McPake shouting, `PLAY PLAY PLAY` and the way they are to `PLAY`, is pass it side to side until a space magically appears. His slow cautious approach would be fine if we started with attacking intent, got a few goals, then switched to see out the result but that`s not the case. Creative players are wasted under him. The club and fans have been incredibly patient but it`s time to go. Reply |
| 48. Author: Berkey Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 12:11 Spot on jeffery. Creativity is an afterthought, you can tell by the ‘creative’ players he has signed and plays in forward position. The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity! Reply |
| 49. Author: Indiapar Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 14:21 I think in this league 80% of the time two goals in a game will win it. We have to set ourselves up to score 2 goals every game. Not an insurmountable objective in my view. Worry less about the opposition think more about our performance and target Reply |

| 51. Author: bannerpar Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 15:46 Thinking about McPake`s tenure; First season OK. Worthy winners of League 1, not great flair style of play but team showed a lot of spirit and togetherness. Second season a struggle. Worst season we`ve ever experienced for injuries. Not even Jock Stein would have had a good season. This season. Most of the injuries had cleared up, we lost 13 players (including loans) from last year`s squad (bloated due to the players signed to cover injuries) opening the door to getting in half a dozen good Championship level players and kicking on to mount a title challenge. Instead he is allowed to sign 3 (Kane, Wotherspoon and Ngwenya) then nothing. In the GMBH selling up statement on 15 August they make the jaw-dropping comment that they realise the squad has to be strengthened so at a board meeting on 12 August resources were made available to management. What a wasted opportunity. Doing in mid August what they should have done at the end of May basically consigned the management team to look for signings in the football market equivalent of Primark. So not all McPake`s fault but it doesn`t excuse the League Cup fiasco, although IMO the players were as much to blame as McPake. And, as others have said, more worrying is that there are no real signs that we are shaping into a settled team with a clear pattern of play. Every game seems like a new start. That has to be down to the coaching. The sell up statement was more than 3 months` ago and they did say that there were interested parties. You would like to think that there would be serious discussions taking place by now and something is going to break soon. It doesn`t make sense to bring in a new manager now if the new owners aren`t on board with it but there`s no doubt (and he`ll know it too) that he has reached the stage of trying to save his job by the time the sale takes place.

| 54. Author: arpar Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 17:23 NMCmassive, Sun 27 Oct 15:58 It will be like Dragons Den. They will look at the books and wonder where the valuation has come from. Reply |

| 60. Author: jake89 Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 20:43 Investors need pass muster before being given access to the books so they should be serious bidders. Personally, I`d hope whoever comes in shakes things up a bit. Reply |
