I struggle to understand how, two years into Stama’s time with us, some people still think he just needs more time or that there’s a player in there at our level.

Setting aside how uncomfortable and cramped the seats are, the health and safety implications are a major issue.. Seriously, until you have actually been in the seat and attempted to let someone limbo past as the rear of the seat collapses under you, it is difficult to appreciate how much of a mistake they have made....no matter how many good intentions came into play. Heaven forbid, but the thought of needing a quick Stand evacuation is frightening. And that is a factor the issuing of a Safety Licence must take intro account. I've been to most grounds in Scotland and I'm struggling to come with one that is worse than what we have been landed with. Next time you are back home I'll happily let you try it out.

Still think we need 4 signings one cb two midfielders and a striker. Takes into account McGhee o,donnell and McGinn are injured. And we are likely to lose TJ and stama up front with slats just and watt gone.

Nooooooo that gives me the fear. Major donkey!

Dear God, no.

I read today that Charlton Athletic looks to be the most likely destination for Dykes. I certainly don't fancy him at Fir Park.

Even when the balls in the right place hes not. , his reading of the game is poor as his first touch. Time to move him out.

I’m not so sure. Whenever the ball’s gone into the box, he’s either been caught on his heels, been a step behind it, or fluffed his lines when he has got on the end of it. The only thing he’s really done in the penalty box is score penalties.

AI is only as good as the data it's trained on. With all the out of date, and just wrong, information on the internet it's often wide of the mark. If you can be bothered, you can tell it when it's wrong to help retrain it.

To clarify, he is no longer registered with Rangers, he is a Wycombe Wanderers player? Right? AI was prattling on about him not being able to play against Rangers but I’m thinking it should be renamed ALOI (artificial lack of intelligence)

I'm not sure I would go as far as criminal. A little disappointing maybe, but inevitable when you are building match sharpness. I saw this quote from Alfred on Friday: “We had a situation where I was coaching a player to make a pass to another player and he asked, 'Who is that?' That again puts it into context." I'm confident we will be fitter and sharper in the next leg.

Agree 100% about Ap and Hendry. Big Thor needs to be given a run of games to fully test him. If we are going to play as we did on Thursday then a big front man is a necessity.

Still think the middle of the front three is a big issue for us dont fancy any of the players we have for that role as main or back ups. Ap,Hendry and Bjørgolfsson i dont think are going to cut it.

Seems he suffered a bad injury and then his Mum passed, so no real surprise if he went off the rails for a time. This is a new start for the lad, so hopefully it'll all work out for him with us. Worth noting that he's apparently out of contract at the end of the season, so he's playing for his future.

It was the same in the POD Joe. In the stairwell where the kiosks are located, you had fans queuing for the toilets, mingling with those queuing for the kiosks, and those coming and going down stairs to hospitality. Complete chaos as it was last season.

I feel the same. That's a couple of loan signings this window. Maybe these are to allow Matty or academy players a bit more time to achieve the required level and step up later in the season.

Will wait until I see how he performs on the pitch before passing judgement, but on the face of it seems like a decent short term fix in midfield. Not a great fan of loan players, particularly if it benefits a club in our league that is a direct opponent. However, he is coming from outwith and in a difficult to fill position, so if a permanent signing of the required standard isnt available right now, I could get on board with it. Hope the rumours about attitude are just a load of shite and the boy can resurrect his career with some stellar performances and a bucketload of goals!

The Wycombe fans seem a bit peeved about it which is always good news. Not sure they are too happy with their manager who seems to prefer “run through wall” type of players to guys with ability.

I dont disagree with that, but we're still not spending £500k on a 30year old from falkirk

I don't think he'd be too high risk. The club is very big on evaluating character and fit for the team, so if they say he's OK now, I trust their judgement,

What did you think of the match, good fun?

Well done to Captain Sparrow and his young crew. Off to the North Atlantic next week for the next battle. Hopefully get through that with no astro turf injuries.

Theres a reason he was put out on loan last season as he was not up to the style JBA had us playing, he subsequently could not get any signigicant game time at Raith, hes just not that good, especially at premiership level

I think Joe was signed from Irvine Vics and what a player he was defensively, with those India rubber legs; rarely booked and always willing.

Everyone is funnelled into a 4m wide gate to leave. Theres no scope for any ancillary sales or expansion. The space under us can’t be used. It is limited for disabled access and its roof will need replaced soon. Due to the curve of Knowetop Avenue it cuts the corner off the Cooper (it’s stepped in) the. If massive wall has to be maintained, we looked to demolish it 15 years ago and told no. WS looking at funding a lift. The Cooper bar is a particularly uninspiring space. The POD has a very narrow footprint, the width of the centenary interrupted by columns define it. Upstairs rooms such as the 91 suite can effectively fit 12 chairs abreast with an access corridor down the middle. boardroom Even smaller. above the sponsors lounge is now taken over by the media team I understand. None of these facilities are enough or fitting for a club looking to close its operational funding gap.

A school playground, a street that cuts off the coroner of the Cooper and a couple of houses that ensure the Main stand can never stretch the full length of the pitch while sitting on a residential street for me shows no amount of money can remedy the limitations of FP.

I think the criticism of Wilson by some is completely over the top. It was our first competitive game of the season and I thought he did well. He won the ball and pushed forward many times. Unfortunately when he got forward there was no one in the box for him to pass to and he had to check back. Yes, he had a few bad passes but so did quite a few others. I think he is a good addition to the squad and we should be encouraging him.

The constraints of the current Fir Park site are plain to see. But with the principle of development for a football stadium already established there, nobody will ever convince me there isn’t a viable proposal that responds to those constraints in a creative yet pragmatic way. Whether that’s a complete demolition and redevelopment or a phased approach of continually replacing and upgrading the stadium bit by bit, I’d take either of those over relocating to an identikit plastic shithole on a soulless brownfield site on the edge of town. Every realistic option at Fir Park has to be exhausted, and sensible compromises made where necessary, before we consider something as drastic as leaving our home for Ravenscraig.
