This is not on carrick

Championship sides get that all the time if they don’t go up. Cov haven’t buckled badly after losing Gyokeres and Hamer. We seem to react extremely slowly every season.

I agree It’s not the manager it’s the way the club is run. Ie. Unprofessionally

Unfortunately if we continue in this manner it will soon be on Carrick. Recruitment has let us down by not bringing in players that are better than or as good as last seasons loan lads. But as the manager you are judged on the results you get with the players you have. How many more defeats do we give him before we realise its time to change tactics?
 
It was an issue in April and the 2nd leg of the play offs.I wouldn't change him, but I'm sure I said the same about Warnock and Wilder and that didn't go well.
 
No saint Michael is blameless he's only the manager and as we know the manager adds no value to the team. We should just have a committee throw the team out every week and let them play as it's all on them
 
We have shot ourselves in the foot, 1st goal was a definite foul, the third was a calamity, hate it when we play tip tap football at the back. Smith sending off was suicidal.
 
Sadly Carrick has to take a lot of responsibility. He coaches the team during the week and picks the team.....been lacking on both fronts this season.

Defensively we are a shambles, needs a serious look at. Fry and Lenihan just don't work.

Too early to panic, slate him, call for his head etc but bottom line it's been a bloody awful start.

Transfers - too many loans and Chuba going..... massive ask to replace 6? players with similar quality without spending a fortune and falling foul of FFP.
 
I think it's only concerning if we know how Carrick is being judged.

If his remit last season was safety, I would expect maybe mid-table/top half this?

This will be strongly linked to the recruitment strategy and how much were willing to spend per season as well.
 
Can't blame Carrick. We have replaced quality with players we hope will make us money not get us promoted.
If that's how it has to be to keep the club going then that's how it has to be.
However don't try and sell this like some new adventure. The number of supporters on here who go on about "the model" and how we have to stick to it are deluding themselves. All it will lead to is mid table dross at best but at least be honest about it.
 
We were performing well under Carrick before Ramsey and Archer came in. The 3 key players we had up until that point who are no longer here were Steffen, Giles and Akpom, so with that in mind, this team isn't that different to the team we had when we initially started winning games under Carrick.

I'm beginning to worry that a big reason for our run of form last season was down to Carrick benefiting from a new manager bounce.

All the signs point to that being the case.
