Big Wispy Flossy

Erwin and McDonald up top have allowed us to defend from the front which we haven't done all season. sutton is incapable of doing this due to the density of his concrete. That said I'm almost certain ol' blue circle would have notched from one of marvs excellent crosses on Saturday.

He worked with barraclough at notts county along with jocky Scott who is also on board in some scouting capacity

Marvin Johnson

[quote name='Lobey_Dosser' timestamp='1425751804' post='434562' I thought we lacked creativity in the final third against an organised defence and believe we could have done with taking Erwin and Johnson off a little earlier. Erwin yes - Johnson no - thought marvin was the best player on the park

We were excellent first half against 11 men - shite second half against 10 men. Good performances from Johnson and McDonald, poor performances from grant and erwin. Not gonna jump on the straker bandwagon this week, one pass apart he did ok today

£1.5k pw off the wage bill if in the unlikely event Gunnar willing to walk without settlement for his contract

Vigurs and Lawson are out for season confirmed by themselves Vigurs has slipped disc and has operation on Tuesday. Need hammell back pronto so hopefully he's not out for season too

Disagree entirely. This time last season he was a contender for player of the year and was instrumental in us getting second place. He hasn't had a good season this season but he's not alone. Not every player we sign has to be based on the ability to make money on, sometime we need to sign someone who may add experience or balance to the squad without necessarily with a view to a profit. Other selling teams are not averse to adding someone with no sell on value either

I don't particularly like him but McManus was much Improved too today

iv been critical of barraclough notably last week but he got virtually everything spot on today with the exception of bringing in sutton but he rectified the balance shortly afterwards by replacing erwin with Moore

Good performance thought Pearson and McDonald were terrific. Special mentions for lasley and Johnson too. Laing was inconsistent but his block at the end earned us the 3 points

I actually think that team is an improvement on last weeks

Ha ha good point twardzik for straker

Didn't think he had started back training yet, never mind being in contention. Anyhow back to basics 4-4-2 today for me Long Ramsden Kerr Laing watt Johnson grant Pearson d Thomas Mcdonald erwin Subs Twardzik McManus Lasley Moore Ainsworth N Thomas Sutton

One of our midfielders was allegedly involved in an incident in a boozer a fortnight ago

I've got my placard and standing outside fir park the now. kept it from 1990 tip ex over wee Tommys name replaced with barra

I never thought I'd be advocating the appointment of Jimmy calderwood. The scottish version of tony pulis Ps anybody got a comparison of barras record against previous managers? If he hadn't won his first 2 games it would make for unbelievable viewing.

The malpas era was unforgettable for the wrong reasons but at least that team was capable of creating clear cut chances in a game

Ha ha just noticed some wind up merchants or morons voted for straker and lasley

yer man admitted he was involved in the process of selecting a new manager. Shot with the crows!

Why the fuck did barraclough decide lasley was capable of collecting the ball off our centre halfs and playing out from defence. Surely grant would have been a better option? That said didn't think grant was much cop yesterday either

And somehow managed to think James Mcpake was capable of swinging in a cross

Pearson Vigurs hammell and Lawson must all come in when fit or Dare I say it but we might need to bring in a few more out of contract players, but can we trust the managers judgement?

I believe the best we've looked this season was under Kenny black

he was appointed on the basis of his knowledge of lower league players with a view to making signings which would improve the team. I appreciate its early days but the jury's still out in that regard. he keeps banging the drum that players are playing for their futures but continually picks lasley McManus and sutton when they are chronically shite. He's got to get some improvement very quickly or he should find himself out the door
