Watch him in a game he's lazy, jogs about in games, hardly tackles, waits for the ball to come to him instead of going to win it, too easily forced off the ball, rarely if ever tracks back and generally jogs through a game looking like he does not give a feck. Yes he has scored a few goals and yes we would be a lot worse off without them, but for long periods in games he's a passenger contributing feck all, if he applied himself a bit more, we could have had another few goals and eased the position we are in, his work rate is shocking. Today's game, Kevin Nisbet just back from a 9 month injury yo his ACL, never stopped running, chased everything and got 3 goals while KVV was watching him run past him,we need players to do that not watch the game pass them by.

Didnt watch the game yesterday as I was travelling, but listened to it on Sportsound and was quite deflated at full time especially after reading some comments on here. Watched the entire 90 minutes back this morning dispassionately obviously knowing the result, and Im a lot less disheartened than I was. Now, I will put a disclaimer on this, as some will no doubt pounce on the my happy clappy nature. I get that results have been poor, I get that we are in a relegation battle and that things are tense. I get that we have deficiencies in our squad and that fans are concerned over the lack of changes in tactics, team selection etc that some suggest show the manager is out of his depth. That may all be correct, but hear me out. Hibs are a bigger club than us with a far superior budget, better players and should be beating our so called shitey team quite comfortably. But they are not and didnt. We were never out of that game yesterday. I actually enjoyed our play better in the first half when most observers felt we were poor. But I felt we played better football, created better chances than Hibs and should have gone in level. Second half, yes we had more possession and created some good chances and scores 2 good goals. But it was a more direct approach, dare I say Alexanderesque! Other than the 3 goals they scored, which were all self inflicted due to poor communication and poor decision making by our defenders, I dont remember Kelly having a save to make. That tells me that there IS work being done on the teaining pitch. It IS working a lot of the time, but certain players are either switching off or having a brain fart and costing us goals. The bit between the ears cant be coached and Hammell cant be blamed for that. Its down to personal responsibility. The only way players will get better at these things is with consistency of approach. Alexander was slaughtered for his "tombola selection" yet Hammell has chosen what he thinks his best 11 are and is trying to get some consistency that way. The comments about Sheilds retaining his place are justified. He has had a lot of gametime and doesnt seem to be improving (albeit played out of position) and the amount of persoanl abuse he is getting isnt going to help his confidence. He could do with some protection feom the manager. Overall, I am obviously concerned about our position, but I dont see us as certainties for the drop at all. Look at the run we have been on and yet Kilmarnock, Dundee United and Ross County are all just as bad as we are and 2 of them have the "experienced heads" that many on here are calling for. Hasnt done them much good. Back Hammell. Back the team. We can still do this.

Grizzly can you imagine lamie trying to ping passes about with his weaker foot 😆.if we had two centre halfs that could come in then I would drop sol and lamie after that showing yesterday,both deserve it.

💯

Everythings on databases now is it not? Hope Mr Daws left the passwords to his club laptop for Alan Burrows to access it otherwise we could be up Shit Creek! 😄

Wee and grafter are 2 things I definitely have. I am up for the battle....COYWWWWWWW

Ok. Take him out the team then and see how it goes for the rest of the season. Any chance we have of staying in this league will depend on his goals. Goal scorers are the hardest thing to find and the only thing people on here complain about is his attitude. I don't give a flying fuck about his attitude. And as for Nesbit scoring a hat trick a one legged man could have scored the goals he did against our non existent defense.

Loving it folks, I am touched PS. I've just seen Sinead O'Connor birdwatching . I asked her what she spotted and she said...."It's been 7 owls and 15 jays". Cue .........ba boom

Did he ever start

My Team would be Kelly McGinn Lamie. Blaney SOD Penney Slattery Cornelius. Mckinstrey KVV. Tierney Slattery and Goss can’t play in the same team as the are the same player. Shields and Spittal have been brutal. That’s the best eleven I can think of

my team for county would be Kelly Jonston Solhom Blaney Penney if hes here if not O'Donnell Maguire Slattery Spittal Tierney Mckinsrty KVV

wish there was more connor ( shite bag ) shields, shaun ( wit a left foot ) goss and callum ( fall on ma erse ) slattery

jesus christ David you must have some amount of spare time on your hands ??? just saying like

The kit....it's no my favourite

I am just waiting on Grizzly's jokes - The man for the job? Think I can imagine the responses!! Lol

We need to make up our minds - are we now blaming the recruitment guy for transfers? theres no way that daws was identifying arrons, moult or mckinstry in the same way it’s unlikely he was involved in Kelly van veen etc. There will be some players the management identify, some via the recruitment team. Consequently, it’s difficult to apportion blame / credit. The list, irrespective of responsibility, doesn’t make for good reading it has to be said

Changes are required. Assuming that we don't add any new faces before Saturday, I'd swap Blaney for Lamie and O'Donnell for Penney (assuming will he be away by then?) in defence. Drop Spittal for Tierney in midfield and drop Shields for McKinstry. Cornelius to play just behind KVV.

FFS take away Van Veens goals this season and we would have 9pts. I don't care he never tackles a player but at least he is contributing. He is the last guy that should be getting shit.

Cornelius and Maguire will be playing for Stirling Albion soon...

the groundsman pitch looking great for other teams to beat us on

It's not the worst team in 36 years. People on here have short memories. Remember the latter days of Robinson when you knew we'd do absolutely nothing every week? And you need players like Goss if you want to do anything. That ball he played over the Hibs defence in the first half. Absolute class. It's the other players that aren't doing enough.

We scored 2, hit the bar twice and Marshall had a very good save. Middle to front we are fine and actually play watchable football. The other end is the issue. We are a bag of nerves every time a team is in or near our box. I don't even think it's the players necessarily. It's a confidence thing. Kelly isn't making the outstanding saves he was making before. Lamie and Johansen aren't bad in the air but they aren't winning the headers. Too many mistakes. Players not getting close enough. Very poor goals being given away every week. We desperately need an experienced defender to come in, someone who is a leader - a Peter Hartley type. I've actually enjoyed the football we've played in the last two matches but you cannot be conceding 2 or 3 goals at home to bottom 6 teams.
