As I mentioned previously even in my short time supporting the club I’ve noticed a decline in the quality of players signed and even those we had six years ago took some stick, that has to be the starting point. In my opinion Martin Foyle was a better judge of a potential player even at our budget level. With the quality of players we have now we need a manager that can work with players of a lower technical ability, keep it simple, stick with the same formation, and concentrate on fitness and organisation, everyone playing in their dedicated position if possible and knowing what’s expected of them, as with the National league down south that alone will see us picking up points. We are never going to have a huge budget but even with our crowds with the right appointments will can survive.

The Cowley brothers were on big money at Portsmouth.

I would think both Goodwin and Ross would be in the picture, If either are appointed it would probably be better to see it as a long term project and retain them even if we go down.

Probably worth a punt for any gamblers out there.

Well if ever the club needed a win it’s today, please god let’s take three points regardless of performance.

Yes, that’s the way I see it.

I still think holding on to Hammel and allowing him to sign seven players was a mistake, he should have gone after the Hibs game.

The overall quality of players signed has deteriorated in the last five or six years in my view, the likes of Scott McDonald was technically better than anything we have now, Aldred and Hartley at the back again a different level. If I look back player by player in each position there is no comparison, Christ I would have Ryan Bowman back. St Mirren have half a team of our former players that are better than the ones we replaced them with and have our former manager who knows the level, I can’t believe their playing budget is that much higher than ours. Add in the wrong managerial appointments and it’s been a step too far.

The goals and who is to blame can be done to death but the sad fact is as a team and manager the performance was shameful, everyone is to blame for that.

His best bet is just be honest about tonight, totally unacceptable.

Surely enough is enough for everyone now, just a total embarrassment of a performance. I honestly feel for him but he’s not a manager and I would sadly not even trust him at championship level. I would expect a decision shortly.

I would hope that Hammell himself walks after this, it’s beyond embarrassing.

Could we at least try without Hammell in charge rather than just accepting it ? Maybe we turn it around second half but we’ve surely got this transfer window badly wrong leaving us in terrible position in both central defence and midfield, you really could not have tried harder to make the mistakes.

Oh god this is not good again.

Well never a better chance of 3 points than tonight, that should bring a level of optimism that’s really needed just now.

I hope we’ve got incoming centre halves and midfielders.

4 players in 4 hours ? Not going to happen I think.

Yep, that’s spot on.

Dunn, Gallagher, Main, and O’Hara all took plenty of stick.

The sad thing is Robinson has put together a better team than us with players most did not rate, Watt will strengthen them again. I would take any of them over what we have now.

I think he will do well there.

Not really a surprise.

I’d take anyone for a few months if they kept us up this season, it’s not a lifelong contract.

That’s the way I always saw him, he does have technical ability that’s better than most in our squad. However given the abuse he won’t be back and if it’s anyone it will be St Mirren.

I still believe that for a period of time Slattery was our best player, unfortunately he’s gone backwards along with half the team.
