The fact that were only 2 points from 4th spot is crazy considering how bad we have been since the break,were still in with a shout but are rapidly running out of chances anything other than 3 points against dundee and we can forget it.no doubt there will be personnel changes for that game but if there isn't a change in shape and approach then we will struggle yet again against a poor dundee team.

We must be the worst team in the league at passing the ball,it's embarrassing for paid professionals that can't do even basic stuff.

First in a run of fixtures that could define our season and we play like that,absolutely dire.we have been rotten since the break so losing to ross county yet again comes as no surprise.

Never a penalty but we have had plenty of time to show a reaction and have been poor.big second half coming for our top six chances.

I missed our first goal at the time but having just seen it there,that was top drawer wing play by woolery,he should be doing that more often getting the ball out his feet and knocking by the defender and using his pace as there's no left backs in the league that will keep up with him.he should be full of confidence going into our next game.

Fucking magic,well done lads.

We know the old firm have better players so they least we should be doing is competing and making it as hard for there players to play,they dont even need to earn a result against us these days and it's so frustrating,it's like we lose 5 and 6 nil and it doesn't really matter.we must have the worst attitude in the league when approaching these games.

I never expect to get a result from these games but I'm sick to death of how easy we make it for the old firm these days,they don't even have to break sweat to pump us.

We have a really good goalkeeper in kelly,who should be playing every game and rightly so,fox giving his age is probably happy to play second fiddle at a premier league club where pj really needs to start playing games to get his career going,he's only 24 so has plenty time on his side but I think it would benefit him if he was to move on and be a number one elsewhere.

Left back was an area i was hoping we would be looking to really improve for next season so having carroll and now mcginley tied up is disappointing.right back is also a bit of a problem,odonnell is the captain and surely one of our highest earners but doesn't put in enough good performances to warrant either,I wouldn't be against him moving on if we could find any takers.i wouldn't be in a rush either to sign any of the rest of the players that are out of contract,there all squad players and could be easily replaced.

You never know if there's any other circumstances involved but I'm surprised robbo is coming back up the road so soon after leaving us,I thought he would have been looking at a long stay down south.thats a decent appointment for them considering they had spoke to the likes of brown and naismith.

I can only echo what others have said about our pitch,it's in great shape considering the weather we have had,we have gone from having the worst pitch at one point to arguably the best,were definitely lucky to have the current grounds staff.

Game on

I'm really chuffed bevis is staying,I never thought I would say that this time last season but he has really won me over.i genuinely thought he would have been moving back down south on a free.

Strange move that by dundee,especially when mcghee will be sitting in the stand for half there games,it definitely looks like an old pals act with strachan going on.

They won't be fancying coming to play us again so quickly,get right in about them and get the 3 points boys.

I agree with that,anytime we have played the old firm in semi finals,we have always made atleast a game of it and got the odd victory where as the finals we have went down with barely a whimper,that's probably just down to less pressure in a semi than the actual final.

Avoided the old firm and got a home tie is the best possible outcome at this stage of the competition.i haven't been impressed with hibs since maloney has went there,we are in with a good shout of progressing.

Conceding an early goal after the run we have been on,we could easily have chucked it but we showed good character to get through into the next round,well done all round.

The constant changing of the team and formation is beyond a joke now,alexander needs to settle on an 11 and go with it and ride out the sticky period that were having.the game plan needs to change now as well, everything is all far to rigid and predictable,it's about time we got forward runners from midfield,to change the pattern of the game and get the opposition thinking,plus were poor up front so getting more players into the box to be a goal threat would be nice to see.cornelious deserves a run in the team before the likes of Donnelly,he could be the one to get forward at times,goss/shaw with there height should be getting in the box to get on the end of any crosses put it,this having three midfielders goal side of the ball is just nonsense.we have yet again slipped into one of/if not the easiest team to play against in the league,alexander has to show some balls and sort this mess out as for me out season hinges on the next two games.

Spot on,nobody sells there top scorer and doesn't replace them,I had the fear as soon as alexander said he wasn't looking to replace watt with a like for like type,it was clear he wanted shot of watt and to not have a backup plan is likely going to cost us having a decent second half of the season.our options are pretty grim right now,we don't have anybody that could play up top on there own,do we have two that would be comfortable playing together and we have wide players that are contributing absolutely nothing.were the only losers in the watt deal,they have got a good player at this lever for next to nothing,he will be earning more money and we have strengthened a direct rival for the sake of 100k,not good at all.

I'm by no means saying we should be hunting alexander but he needs to start getting things right and quick or the hard work put in before the break is going to count for nothing.we have went from a fairly organised side that was decent defensively,maybe not great to watch but definitely effective to a team that is shambolic in only a few weeks.the constant chopping and changing has to stop,I get when things aren't going well,making changes and looking for the answers is an easy thing to do but at the minute it isn't the solution,get your best 11 on the park and ride it out and hopefully we turn the corner as soon as possible.confidence and fitness looks to be completely gone at the minute,we need a big result and saturday would be the perfect time for it.

I'll give you that having watt on the left,I would definitely take that now.agreed there isn't two forwards in the squad that you would think could potentially make a decent pairing in a two.one up front would be a disaster,hoof ball stuff and no runners from midfield would be even worse than what were witnessing right now.i really think we're going to rue not bringing in another central striker and January.

The sooner we get away from this play anywhere across the front three shite the better,it's a myth,we've had nobody that's been good at playing across the front three in recent times,as soon as we got shot of the likes of hylton and seedorf that should have been the end of it.

Spot on,he would graft his balls off every game as well,setting the tone for others round about him,there's to many going through the motions right now and in need of a serious boot up the arse.
