What are you talking about? Goss is running the show. Put a bit of quality and energy in beside him and we’ll see what he can do. 

You are entitled to your opinion on Goss and I’m entitled to mine so do one!

[El Grew 269]

That’s 3 of the 4 midfield players Hammell started with been hooked!

[Andy H 61]

Good to see he will pull players that are playing shite

Longer term I can’t see either maguire or Morris being in our preferred starting 11 .

 

[Spiderpig 1,165]

Yaaaas get in there 1-1

[MFCL84 86]

Well that didn't last long. 2-1 saints

[AllyMax 325]

That's us 3rd in the league.  If they need to call it now for any pandemic related lockdowns, I'm ok with that.

Ah, sack that. they've scored again......

[Pepper 252]

That defending. Wow

[Andy H 61]

Fucks sake, we were battering them that second half

[mfc 420]

That sums us up right there,were an absolute fucking shambles.

[GazzyB 1,338]

Gutting to lose after the late equaliser. A valiant second half performance but atrocious defending has cost us today. 

[SteelmaninOZ 275]

Am away tae ma bed 

[MFCL84 86]

Much better second half, but much work to be done if top flight status is to be retained this campaign. 

[Andy H 61]

Board need to make a decision and quickly se we can get more faces in.  We don't need much, just a defence, midfield and a striker

[MJC_mkII 204]

We’re in big trouble this season.

First, I’m not your mate.  Second so anybody that disagrees with you is talking pish?  How very democratic of you. So in closing, all I’ll say is va te faire foutre.

[mfc 420]

Were a complete shambles at the back with pitiful options in attack,if it's hammell or a new guy they have some job on there hands.

[fizoxy 631]

Really sloppy to lose that goal after equalizing, O'Donnell too slow to get out after the corner, but we had chances to stop it even after that. We frequently got caught out by simple punts forward.

It's clear that we need two or three good signings to get anything out of this team. Having Slattery back next week will be a bonus, but we'll be up against it with the form aberdeen are showing.

Efford looked lively for a minute, then reverted to killing off every attack, and shields was caught on his heels way to often.

I thought Goss was good, and Cornelius fared better than Maguire, and Mahon is in fact real.

Last week was a surprise but honestly we are feckin hopeless at seeing games out a 92 min equaliser should have been game finished and take a well earned  point, but giving away corners and defending in our own half that late in a game is feckin criminal, and allowing feckin Stevie May who would struggle to score in a brothel to get the winner is even worse.

Two games in and I am already getting the fear about how this season is starting, anyway rant over I'm away to wring my pants out.

We are in a horrible position of having no manager and needing serious rebuilding of the squad in less than a month. The team we have simply are not good enough. I’m not expecting us to be competing with the Old Firm, Hearts or Aberdeen but as I said during the game, St.Johnstone did the ‘basics’ much better than we did. Is it unrealistic to expect us to at least compete with them and similar sides?

I’ve said this before but us spawny-ing into Europe last season may very well hurt us more than it will benefit us.

[bobbybingo 326]

On the bright side, if we can get a new manager and a new team there's every chance we might be ok. Or maybe not.

As brutal as we were last season even in a league of shitey teams someone has to a little bit less shite than others and take the prizes, that was us so we made Europe because we scraped enough points to crawl into 5th, so we deserved it as we we collected more points than the 7 teams below us. That said I take your point about it doing more harm than good, but that's all down to Alexander sticking with systems that didn't work, brining in players not up to the job and presiding over a shambles of a preseason with unfit and unmotivated players.

Whoever takes over has a big job on their hands and needs to hit the ground running before the season gets away from us.
