Quite an honest update from Sturrock, prior to tomorrow's game:
They've got plenty of experienced players on the treatment table They haven't got any defenders on the bench They've got a completely new squad and they are still settling down What they lack in quality, they make up for in endeavour Preseason didn't really prepare them well for the battle ahead in L2
Knowing our luck, it sounds like a home banker!

Agree with that view, but imagine the stick a Rovers manager would get if he ever said the same things!

He painted his office in Dundee Utd colours.
Couldn't imagine a manager coming here and insisting he has his office painted red.

Are you referring to his illness or his accent? Accent I once worked for a boss from Aberdeen so I have no trouble understanding most Sweaty Socks. Mind, I did make out I didn't understand him when he was giving me a rollocking.

Paul Sturrock opens the door to the manager’s office at Yeovil Town and there is a strong smell of emulsion. Everything seems green at Huish Park but the wall behind Sturrock’s desk has recently been painted orange as a nod of respect to Dundee United, the club he represented with such distinction across four decades. www.theguardian.com/football/2015/apr/28/paul-sturrock-yeovil-town

Utter utter madness! Almost literally asking for trouble. Always struck me as a decent bloke though, but this is just asking for trouble. "Hello, Mr Sturrock, here is your nice new office all ready for you, would you like me to..." "Hang on a minute pal! Why are the walls fecking green?!" "Well Mr Sturrock, you see Yeovil town play in green so it just seemed log..." "CHANGE IT!" "Sorry Sir?!" "Change the fecking colour and do it now! These walls need to be orange and they need to be orange fecking quick!" "But sir, why orange" "Cos I am a Dundeee boy and I need to be surrounded with orange!" "Do you not think perhaps green might be appropriate considering you are now the manager of Yeovil Town and not in fact the manager of Dundee?" "ORANGE! NOW!"

Well today confirmed that they are struggling. Based on today I'd have them as favourites for the drop.
I have to say I have great respect for Sturrock and he was honest in his appraisal of the game today. But he has got one hell of a task in front of him, unless their injured players can return and change the side completely.
Without Artur Krysiak, they would have been absolutely thumped today.
