I agree, we do have makings of a good squad and team if we played them in their natural position and a formation that suits them. I reckon we need say 4 or 5. A left back is essential, 1 or 2 centre halves, a central midfielder and definitely another central striker

Always respect your views David even though our views of Alexander are different. I just find his interviews difficult to listen to as he doesn't seem to accept that his tactics aren't working and fact he seems to think we created a lot of good chances. At end of the day give me a scrappy 2-0 win tonight and progress to the next round

Same old

I see the performance therapist as part of management team is called Tom Jones,. Quite funny to have a member named after a pop star but apparently It's Not Unusual. ...sorry folks
-
Everyone has their own opinions on starting line ups and formations which is fair do's,, would be boring if we all had the same thoughts. I know the team I would like tomorrow but it will be hee haw near what Alexander picks. Qualifying is the priority but to do it with a good performance would be a good start
-
Yep agree with this. I like KVV but too selfish at times and workrate questionable at times. I feel fact he is guaranteed a start when fit can sometimes work against us as he hasn't got anyone on the bench threatening to take his place. However when fit and in the mood and avoiding stupid bookings he is definitely an asset

And add Gannon to list also

Over the years there have been managers a lot worse than Alexander, Hynd... Watson...Kampman (jeez!!), Malpas (jeez Part 2), McGhee (2nd spell) As I have said before the problem with Alexander is he is just a guy I find hard to take to. I don't expect a 'hey guys, how's tricks ' but I do expect a manager who at least gives impression he is trying his best to improve us. When Robbo left it was the right decision but at least with Robbo there was a side to him where he genuinely was trying everything but alas it just wasn't happening. There could well be a different side to Alexander that we don't see and he has the players all on board but I am not convinced. Don't have any evidence, just my own personal hunch. At this moment in time my wish is I wake up on Friday morning knowing we are in the next round.....COYW

Let's see what happens after Thursday, if we are still in competition it buys him some time but he really needs to up his game in my opinion. As for post match interviews I have been critical as they really are insulting the fans intelligence, fans that pay a lot of good money. We had over 7,000 on Thursday witnessing that performance. To then have your manager say we created '20 chances 'is a joke. Again these are just my views and I know there are fans that think Alexander is wonderful which is their right but personally I feel change is required. We have a good squad but they aren't being utilised properly.... COYW

Can't have Armstrong as new manager.......that would be pointless!! Ba boom

Must win yes ......no way Johnston will start but do we trust one step forward,two step backwards Carroll? My opinion won't matter as guaranteed Alexander will start him -

4 3 3 hasn't worked for ages so I would go for a 4 4 1 1 to start Kelly Mcginn. Lamie megaphone sol .....SOD Spittal. Cornelius Slatter morris Tierney KVV I Know that won't happen but just my view. Feel sorry for SOD, takes so much stick but no as bad as made out by some. Is blatantly obvious Alexander doesn't rate him but mcginn is at least good replacement if SOD leaves. It's a shame Alexander fails to recognise we have no left backs -
Great post, agree 100%

Like a few folk I am not in the slightest bit interested in other clubs, my only concern is for the well We have all had our say in past 24 hours and I think it's time to think ahead to next week's tie. We are still in the competition so let's keep the faith and hopefully this time next week we have a glamour tie to look forward to where the pressure will be off as we will be massive underdogs....

Comes across as decent guy,. Jeez didn't realise he was that near us. I am on the video near the end,. I could have told him a few jokes.......maybe that was another reason he left early. Seriously though it's embarrassing that he had to leave early, hope it doesn't put him off coming back to Fir Park -

Sadly there is an element in that section that is dragging the club down, I never heard the chanting as was at opposite side of stand but this needs to be stopped asap. However I must point out the majority bring great support and enthusiasm and not an ounce of trouble, I know this as my mates lads are in that section and are brilliant lads. COYW -
His last 91minutes of playing in cup ties hasn't been impressive. Can do the basics but when it comes to having to make a decision then it puts us in bother, last night the prime example when booting into main stand was perfect option

"20 odd goal attempts", enlighten me Graham, what are you classing as a goal attempt? -

Mind totally fine and last season I was one of his biggest critics. But he isn't going to go after one game. If we can't qualify against Sligo and have a poor start to season then he has to go. But I will stay positive and hope this time next week we are looking forward to next round
