  1. Aye, probably. I'm usually at the tail end of calling for a managers head. The way I see the facts - apart from the first fortnight of last season (we were 11th after 2 games) we didn't drop below 8th. Since we're being selective about when we won games, in the last 17 last season we won 6, drew 6 and lost 5. Hardly a complete disaster. We finished top of the bottom 6 (see what I did there?). Add in 2 cup finals and you'll find that surpassed most folks pre-season ambitions after the disaster that was Mark McGhee part 2. We've had some poor performances this season and I was genuinely alarmed at what I saw in some of the league cup games. I think we've still got it in us to be absolutely shite with Robinson going at some point, but there's something in what we saw of Robinson last season to make me think he deserves the chance to turn it around.

  2. If we play Frear and Cadden as wingers, we can probably afford to go with one striker and have another in midfield. You know, have the old 4-5-1 that turns into a 4-3-3 deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  3. Change of formation is a must … … we must start by not giving the opposition freebies To that end a back 4 is a must I would then play defensive midfielder in front of them and then a midfield 4 with 1 up front We really have to get back to a solid base to build from

  4. Taking the emotion out of it, for now. There's a lot wrong with both tactics and individual performance. Tactics: Without going over old ground we are so one dimensional and other teams know both our Plan A and Plan B. Our 'physicality' of last season is now matched by most teams. Players: Players are making individual errors, which we are getting punished for, and in general our midfield is not giving our, admittedly unsettled and poor, defence the cover needed. We don't appear to have the quality in creative players or up front to make or put away the crucial chances we tended to put away with Moult in the team. Solution: Hard one. I'd start with a change of formation to 4 at the back. We've lost a lot of goals with our wing backs pushing forward and we don't have the pace for a back 3. Midfield we are weak so I'm not sure where to start to be honest but I'd be playing a simple 4 with players in the their correct positions. Up top its 2 of Main, Bowman and Johnson. We have a big lack of options on the left. Maybe... Carson Tait Hartley Aldred ATS Cadden Campbell McHugh Frear Bowman Main The manager is starting to have a shoogly peg for me, and I'm a fan...crucial game against Livi.

  5. Livi have been very impressive but I'm much more worried about them going 1-0 up and shutting us out defensively than I am about Keaghan Jacobs and Scott Robinson "tearing us a new one".
