Poor line up again today with the manager insisting with square pegs in round holes. I thought McHugh and Campbell were decent and tried hard and Lasley and Hammell at least tried hard but both are done. The least said about the rest the better , even Moults level dropped today to mediocre and he looked unfit . The lack of fight passion and togetherness was alarming but not unexpected . Bringing on clay in front of Faddy In those circumstances just beggars belief. Must beat Accies next week or it's the play offs at very best

Go watch some re runs of his games for us and watch him closely - as sleekit on the pitch as you get. Fails on occasion after occasion to cover in behind the other centre half who is challenging for the ball. More individual errors than Samson. Only interested in making himself look good . It's sunny today so you better keep the rose tinted specs on

McHugh is a better centre half than McManus and he's a midfielder - that says it all. McManus plays the game for himself and not the team and it shows

I never wanted him appointed in the first place as his record of signings was shite, his historic tactics were negative and his record was at best poor. He was appointed to keep us up and so far it's not working and doesn't look like working . Campbell and Lasley would be my centre mid pairing all day long - experience and dig with Lasley and youth desire and fitness with Campbell makes a good combination. Both have a will to win which is lacking with some others who start every week. You must be easy pleased if your content with what you've seen from Robinson so far!!

That's 5 points from a possible 18 and whilst we have stopped shipping as many goals it's all very defensive and unsuccessful uninspiring route one dross. A play off place may be the best we can hope for and that's a big ask. I can't believe just how bad the starting line ups have been of late and crying out for a bit of creativity - surely a Faddy or a Thomas ( I know he's out on loan) would be a better bet as a number 10 than Gordon or Blyth. Craig Clay must look like Ronaldo in training all week to still get a Start every week. Looks like Burrows and co have made a mess of the managerial appointment and let the old pals act shine bright. It can be glossed up any way the happy clappers want be we haven't improved under Robinson and our league position is now worse.

So what attributes has Robinson got to keep us up? - 3 points in every 12 certainly won't - his experience at Oldham And if we go down what's his and the boards plan B? Is he really the best that was out there or was he the cheap option based on the money the board has pissed away elsewhere . My opinion on Robinson didn't start because of defeat today it started the day his chum burrows brought him back to the club. If your referring to the person I think you are that had the 800 million budget then tell me what the overspend and deficit was on that budget - please do. People on hear need to take off the claret and Amber tinted specs. We have no right to be clear of relegation every year we need to earn that right but we will struggle with those at the helm . We are in the shit and it's been coming since we signed the dross we did in the summer . I'm away to tell Myself that everything's going to be all right and guys like Craig Clay and Craig Samson will keep us up while Burrows will be sitting tonight working on the master plan to make it all better via his Scotvec module in Home Economics

That's 3 points from 9 for Robinson so far and very likely to be 3 from 12 after our visit to Castle Greyskull . We lose to hamilton and suddenly 3 points from 15 has him under serious pressure and the club in serious danger. On the bright side you could turn to his previous managerial record for hope but unfortunately that's on a par with some of the worst in the business. So we go down and we look for him to play youth - he won't even pick Campbell in front of passenger clay. You could then look to his previous signings and as someone else pointed out he signed Josh Law!!! That about summed up the shambles and uninspiring appointment the club made this week but nothing surprises me with the amateur set up we have - imagine the interview view panel of a photographer , a guy that used to be on the board and a guy that appeared on the well society board out of the blue and without election from its members. The club and its board appear out their depth and going down will put us firmly in the shit for years to come. Far too much money is being wasted by the club both in the playing squad, signings policy and support staff. I truly hope I am wrong, Robinson proves me wrong and he manages to keep us up but one thing is for sure the set up behind the scenes is a shambles.

I will put money on McManus being appointed assistant manager in the summer at the latest and the Burrows Plan he came up with behind McGhees back will be complete. Stinks of old pals act and jobs for the boys - how can the club and society move forward with underhand appointments like this. I can't believe Robinson was the best candidate for the club out of 50 applicants but then again I can't believe a media apprentice is in the position he's in running a football club. I sincerely hope I am proved wrong but got the feeling we will be watching negative route one football this year and beyond which will ruin guys like Moult and Cadden

Interesting comments from Mcdonald when he said most of the squad would like to see Robinson get the job!! Does he really mean most or just a selected few individuals above their station. Robinson certainly made the changes on Saturday that McGhee would never ever have made to get us the 3 points but no way is he the answer short or long term . Hopefully have someone in place quickly to get us out this mess and hopefully the decision is made by the board as a whole not just by a player whispering in Burrows ear at Rugby Park!!!

Robinson has been under contract for two weeks and under contract law he can be removed with a weeks notice/wages with little costs to the club. Maybe a couple of people within the club wouldn't be happy to do that -olds pals act and all that......

I still firmly believe we have enough quality in the squad to stay up however we need to get the basics of tactics team selections and an organised unit correct . That looks unlikely to happen under McGhee. He went into hiding yesterday, Robinsons influence was telling Frear where to stand at a shy and Faddy spent the game bickering with the 4 th official. No attempt was made in the first half by any of the 3 of them to change things and even at half time he doesn't change a thing. We have been crying out for a left back and a keeper all season yet McGhee and however oversees our signings decide to bring in a poor mans Dom Thomas and another centre midfielder in January . Surely the board/ burrows can't stick their heads in the sand any longer ?

It comes down to risk now. Do we risk sticking with McGhee until the end of the season given or current downward spiral or do we risk someone new with new ideas and who can organise and motivate a team in a short space of time?One things for sure in my eyes is that is McGhee does go this week Robinson needs to be no where near the club or the managers position - he's part of the problem not the solution . I want tend to go with Craigen, Butcher or Archie Knox. The whole set up with the society board, club board and Alan Burrows needs to be looked at once the season is over. Maybe Jay can advise why there are board members on the club and society board? Surely there is a conflict of interest or is this all just part of the jobs for the boy act that appears to be rife at present with Robinsons return being a prime example of this.
