houstan and 4-5-1 g.t.f

5 POINTS OUT OF A POSSIBLE 18 AT TANNADICE? TOP 6 ,NO DIVISION 1 PROBABLY. GET HIM OUT. HE DOES NOT LEARN BY HIS MISTAKES.

If PH leads us to a win against Falkirk in the cup and we get a favourable draw in the semi then we could have another cup final to look forward to. The team has played well at times this seaon and I am in agreement that the 4-5-1 formation is negative and terrible to watch but I would like to know who people would like to see replace PH. It's too easy to shout for PH to be sacked but Aberdeen are a prime example that change of manager doesn't guarantee instant results.

Arabian Knight - I'd like to see more pressure put on him too. He's been far too lazy since he signed his contract, he needs a boot up the backside more than the players do. Needs to know he'll have to fear for his job and that he'll actually have to play to win rather than playing to lose. Too accepting of failure in this country, need to show it won't be tolerated.

Strange comment about Aberdeen. When Brown took over he had instant success and steered Aberdeen well away from the relegation feers they had. This season they are 1 point behind us and just walloped the Pars 4-0 a few weeks after they won at Tannadice. we have 5 out of 18 points at Tannadice, so please dont defend awol Houstan

"If PH leads us to a win against Falkirk in the cup and we get a favourable draw in the semi" then all this will do is paper over the cracks. We are in a steady decline at the moment and PH is the only person who can make the changes just now that will stop this.

Arabest, as I have said I know we can't afford to replace him and even if we could there are a lack of other options. Saying that Houston must sort out the drivel that he has served up. Are we just going to sit there and put up with mistakes which are glaringly obvious to us? We are entitled to let PH know that 4-5-1 is not acceptable, I am certainly sick to back teeth of watching us struggle with this ridiculous formation.

I am not suggesting that we now start a campaign to hound the man out, but he must be made aware of the fans' feelings. If we were winning it would be a different story. However we have 2 wins and the football is absolutely dire to watch. I hope he is bright enough to change his ideas.

he does not know hot to change things. He is set in his ways, and after that debacle against Motherwell he should have cancelled his Scotland trip and stayed at Tannadice.
He ruined our chances against AEK playing an alien 4-5-1 (goodie on wing) 15 months later the same rubbish.

FFS The man actually started speaking about Scotland in his post match interview. Never once apoligised to the fans for his crazy line up. A friend of mine told me the Clep bar was full of arabs at 20 past 4

I'd rather have a "permanent caretaker manager" than a manager with a contract. Houston was great in the first instance and rubbish in the current one.

Signing wise Gunning, Rankin, GMS and Severin when played in midfield have looked good signings. Mihadjuks & TVDM absoulte rank.

Heres hoping he rectifies his ways, although from reading recent press articles "we'll kick-on from Christmas" seems to be the plan!!

HOUSTAN OUT NOW,

Hard to argue with any of the criticisms aimed at Houston.
As mentioned already he doesn't admit to bad team selection or tactics and appears to think that saying we were unlucky is enough to appease the fans.
Unless things change very quickly we could easily end up in a relegation battle.
I can't make games on a Saturday now and as soon as I hear 'there's been a goal' I now assume it's for the oppostion.
Also time for Thompson to bin the away days for Scotland although it won't matter for this season.
