Not for me mate but I can see why halliday would be a player that gets mentioned,I think we need a bit of pace and energy injected into our midfield,were so slow in there with and without the ball and I don't think he fits the bill in that's sense.it seems hearts are willing to let him go so he might be one that kettlewell has his eye on.

Spencer started off really well but his performances of late have been a bit up and down,I would rather we had kept him though as overall he's been one of our better players upto now.gent looks like he has found his feet and is a threat going forward, hopefully the plan is to sign an attacking fullback for the other side and not go with o'donnell for the rest of the season.

I would have definitely settled for four points between this game and livingston before a ball was kicked, hopefully that's us starting to a corner.we look more of a threat up front but defensively were as bad as ever,its just cheap goal after cheap goal that we concede,we need to start defending properly if we want to have a comfortable second half of the season.hopegully the recruitment drive is well under way and we can see a bit of movement in and out this month.

Exactly,we did a good job of getting rid of a lot of dross in the summer and we need the same again this month,we cant have the likes of mcginley and maguire coming back picking up a wage for doing nothing.

Half a dozen,your being generous there grizzly 😂.I said on here the other day that I thought we had turned a corner with slattery at the start of the season where he was putting in some decent performances but at the first sign of trouble he's back to spending the game fouling and falling on his arse.

Giving the horrendous run were on,if we were to then go and lose at home to the team bottom of the league the manager needs to go.this is our biggest game of the season and we need to start getting points on the board,it's time the manager and players stood up and put a performance in.

You wouldn't put it past dundee utd to chuck more money at trying to get promotion,especially now with raith rovers making a fight of that division.knowing our luck it would gallagher that relegates us in the play offs rather than any of the actual forwards 😂

The hibs manager said a striker is his priority so you would think with van veen been available there's a chance he might end up at hibs,unless aberdeen and hearts were to sell there main strikers I don't think he will end up at either.considering how well he did with us,i think his options will be fairly limited if he wants a move back to scotland in january.

The first few games of this season slattery looked like he was going to be an asset for us,he was in shape and willing to go and press the opposition but at the first sign of trouble he reverted back to type where he's either fouling or falling on his arse at every opportunity.spittal showed last season with the number of assists he had that he offers something but he's one of they players when he's bad,he's really bad and lately that's all we have seen from him,neither will offer anything when the chips are down.at the minute our entire midfield is as soft as it gets, there's not one ounce of creativity or energy to offer anything with or without the ball and when you throw in our striking options and the amount of stupid goals we concede,it will be a minor miracle if we can halt the run that were on.

Losing to livi coupled with the teams around us having games in hand is becoming unthinkable,were in dire straights at the minute and it's clear the manager doesn't have any kind of clue how to get us out of it.the only hope we have is to change manager and hope for a productive january at bringing in some new faces,i get thats a big ask but if continue as we are theres every chance we could go down this season.

No surprises we have lost yet again,the manner of the defeat is frustrating though,the early goal and then it taking for us to be 2 nil down yet again to even look slightly interested.

Considering he's just in the door,that's a shocker of an outburst from adam's.

To not have any natural width in the squad is shocking to then go and play a wing back out of position and at the same time still playing o'donnell has really reduced any attacking threat to a bare minimum.

At the minute kelly is installing no confidence in anyone and needs to be dropped,crossed balls into our box are a massive weakness that has been sussed by every team were playing,having said that though it's a two way thing,the guys in front of him have been pathetic for weeks,were the only team in the league that seems to be happy to let the ball come into our box unchallenged and then can't defend in a proper manner.

He's got to go,a big reason why were in the mess that were in is down to the dross that we signed over the summer,the next transfer window is going to be huge whoever is in charge and it might just be the thing that keeps us up,allowing him to bring in more guys like bair will surely be the end for us this season.i get there's no guarantees that any new manager will be able to bring in better players but for me it's our only option now,change manager and hopefully we get the desired lift as well as hoping for a productive january,it's a big ask but it's definitely do able.

Exactly,I said the same a few games ago,there's a pattern now with certain players that go into hiding and show no interest at the first sign of trouble,it's not a coincidence and the sooner some are out the door the better.

Kettlewell has created a lot of the problems due to our recent signings,he's hamstrung is into only being able to play one way,to have no real pace and width in the current game is shocking.he clearly doesn't have the answers,thank him for his efforts last season and let him go before it's too late.

Davor is becoming another mystery signing a bit like danzaki,I can see him being moved on in January,our midfield is all over the place and yet he can't get a look in.butcher needs to play at centre back,he doesn't have the legs to play in midfield,our lack of pace and ability to get about the park from our midfield on saturday was frightening.kettlwells signings have been all over the place.we needed a left back in the summer,we then sign souare who's in his 30s who barely played last season due to injury,he gets injured,we then sign gent who again is hardly getting a sniff and instead weve been playing spencer there out of position and sticking with o'donnell who is rotten.kettlewell has mentioned back to basics a few times,maybe he should start with playing guys in there correct positions and give one or two others a chance rather than sticking with guys that are clearly out of form.

That gets said everytime before we need to sack a manager,that we don't have the money to pay them off and it hasnt happened yet,if the club feel its in our best interest to part ways,the money will be found that's a certainty,either way whoever is in charge will need money in january as its our only hope,we are abysmal where the only functioning part of our team is a loanee.

I would love to see turnbull leave celtic in january and make us a bit of money in the process.from his point of view,he would be crazy to sign a new contract with celtic,he's in and out there team and he's not really any further forward in breaking into the scotland set up.his next move will be vital for his career,he could stay where he is and win a lot more trophies but ability wise he could be playing at a higher level than that.

Exactly enjoy the result,it's been a while since the team hasnt ruined our weekend 😂. big result that but both the manager and players have to back that up next week and use today as a real turning point for us.

Good post,whatever is happening on the pitch sets the tone for the mood around the whole club,when things are going well,not a lot gets said about behind the scenes issues but it's the opposite when results on the pitch aren't going well.for me our biggest issue at the minute is recruitment,for the last 3 or 4 years there doesn't seem to be any plan,it feels like we're trying to grab anybody that's available and we always seem to end up with an unbalanced squad,that's heavy in numbers in certain areas and light in others.like you said we did some great work over the summer moving players on,to get the likes of lamie,shields and danzaki out the door who were all under contract was brilliant business but to then go and sign the guff that we did has been one step forward two back,to have re-signed obika and signed the likes of bair and wilkinson is a scandalous waste of funds.

It looks like van veens time at groningen is up and hes talking up a return to scotland but sadly I can't see it being with us.

I agree with that,at the first sign of trouble he has really started to overthink things.if we get back to basics,I think we will be fine but if not I think he will be unemployed fairly soon.

When I say it's a write off for me,I just mean I expect us to get nothing from the game.kettlewell needs to start showing something different and this would be the ideal game to get back to a balanced and thought out approach,if we go with the same as we did against hearts then the scoreline could be scary.
