Guys like thomson and O'Dea will get pushed cause there ex old firm players now trying to make it as a coach/manager but I don't see either being seriously in the running.if were looking to go down that road then you would think hammy would the one,providing he's interested in the job full time.

Aye a wee bit of retrospective punishment for tait would be lovely.

Taits an arsehole,he's lucky the ref isn't looking when he smacks kelly in the face.

Of course we didn't play great but anybody expecting anything else is kidding themselves on.its always nice to start the season off with a win but even more so after thursday.lets just enjoy having a wee bit of feel good factor back.

As fans not matter how long you have been going to games,we certainly don't go for the entertainment factor,I don't expect silky football every week and to be scoring 3 and 4 goals,I've been watching us for over 30 years and I could probably count on one hand the number of seasons where I could say I was really entertained by what was on show on the park.for me it's about getting a well coached team on the park,where everybody knows there role and playing in positions that suit them,that could be more than enough to still be entertaining and win games at the level we play at.

Fair play to sligo over the two legs,you thoroughly deserved it.we have been playing that way for months and your management team have obviously watched previous games and knew exactly how to go about it,clearly you have competent people in charge while we have a manager that couldn't set up a game of subbuteo properly.

Sligo played us like a fiddle,they had clearly watched games of ours from last season.the opposition know if they get men behind the ball when it's needed and bide there time and wait for the inevitable mistake from us,we then have absolutely nothing to break them down at the other end.the truth is sligo won the tie without having to break sweat.the blueprint to beat us is well and truly out there and I wouldn't be surprised if st mirren do the exact same on sunday.

I'm in agreement with you that something just feels off behind the scenes.after last week's game alexander was saying things like it's only half time in the tie to on wednesday saying it was do or die time.you would think using words like do or die,the team would have came out with all guns blazing but it was the complete opposite,we didn't even look interested.it looks like alexander is talking but the dressing room isn't listening.

Could you get anymore patronising if you tried.

Some good points in there.i don't think alexander has a clue about changing formation or tactics,he knows one way to play and that's it,he will stick with the 433 with guys out of position,even when making a sub,it's just player on player off,there's no change in approach.i didn't think we would walk all over sligo but would have enough over the two games,I certainly wasn't expecting us to hardly lay a glove on them,we could still be playing now and wouldn't have scored.i think the most telling thing about tonight was that there was absolutely no reaction to last week,if anything it was worse,I think that's down to some players not being good enough but the players as a whole not interested in player for the manager.like you I don't see him going before sunday but wouldn't be surprised if it was to happen,there's little hope for a manager when the fans turn and judging by the comments I've seen on here and elsewhere tonight,it's a matter of when not if.

Somebody mentioned on here the other day that maguire is just another stuart carswell,they nailed it with that comparison,he's very lucky to still be at a premier league club at what 24.he offers absolutely nothing,I'm not saying cornelius is the answer but atleast he could offer a couple of things that were lacking I'm midfield.

He had the brass neck to say we were the better team last week and should have won,then it was it's only half time in the tie and we will do better,the fans need to be with us and then it was it's do or die,clearly he's talking and nobody in the dressing room is listening.last week should have been a wake up call and as much as I want alexander gone the players involved over these 2 games have been a disgrace,we can talk about fitness and formations and all that but we should have had enough to get past sligo,clearly these players don't have any professional pride,we have to many strutting about thinking there something.

Your position of defending the undefendable is embarrassing and you predict either a win,loss or draw on sunday,do you do the lottery numbers ?

And when Alexander is gone sooner rather than later will you be breaking an egg on your face? of course not.

There's no way the club would have handed alexander and his team longer contracts without a back up plan,if they need to sack him the money will be there,no way would have put ourselves into a position where we're stuck with a failing manager.

I think morris will be one of they players come the end of the season,we won't be any wiser what his best position actually is.he reminds me a bit of craig tanner,we might get something out of him in the number 10 position but he can't be played in the front 3,he's got no pace and can't beat a man,like you said it's awkwardly trying to get himself into a position,it's all very stop start having him playing where he is.

You make some really good points there.there is no plan in how we go about things,it's like take to the field and see what happens,what do we actually do all week at training as there's zero evidence of anything on a matchday.the left back issue has annoyed me for a while any manager that re-signs carroll and McGinley should be shown the door for that alone,carroll's performance again tonight was pitiful.unless we have been trying to move odonnell on then the signing of mcginn makes no sense as he isn't any better,all we have succeeded in doing is having one of our highest earners sitting on the bench.

Sadly that's absolutely true,we wouldn't be out the woods by changing manager as the squad is yet again an unbalanced mess,hopefully any new manager coming in would be able to coach us properly for starters,that might be enough to get us going in the right direction atleast.

There's no way back from this,he needs to go.hes assembled a squad that can't defend,no ability to pass there way through the opposition,no pace,no width and no goal threat.give him his nice little pay off and chase him before he does anymore damage if it's possible.

Alexander is a budget gannon,arrogant and clueless,atleast gannon signed some half decent players before he was rumbled.

We've just been easily outplayed by a team lower ranked than us over two games,we never even laid a glove on them,nobody pissed off by this result is dilusional.the writing is on the wall already,if you think this team will turn up and get off to a good start on Sunday then your the dilusional one.

Exactly,clearly there's issues with odonnell but he's better than mcginn,spittal and Morris look like they will offer next to nothing,we could be sitting here come the end of the season wondering where exactly there best positions are,neither were what was needed.

Were such a badly coached outfit,alexander should be made to swim back and pick up his p45.the players need to take there share of the blame for this,hopefully any new manager coming in will get wise to the likes of carroll in no time.

That shot on the tele there says it all,mugabi with his head in his hands and the managerial team all standing by themselves,were a fucking mess.

No width is a serious issue,I'm not slating spittal or morris as they have just came but they offer less of a threat than efford and shields and we then let our only player go that had any real pace leave in woolery.
