I would rather he wasn't involved at all either grizzly but if we're going to use him I would rather it was from the bench.the forward line much like the midfield are a complete conundrum right now.

Midfield is dire,even in games against dundee and county we were second best,there's no pace or composure in there,everything is all rushed with either possession constantly giving away or the ball is passed back the way.we have far to many midfielders of the same level that offer very little,i quite like the look of slattery at times but feel we won't see more of him until he's got better players beside him.

Woolery might be a decent enough option off the bench,in games like tonight where it's stretched and come on against a tired full back but as a starter right now it just isn't happening,surely he can't start at the weekend.

It all depends on the officials,9 times out of 10 that wouldn't have been brought back for a retake,it's just our fucking luck it went against us tonight.

I agree with that,if brophy had put it wide then it would have been seen as a decent decision by kelly to come out.his team mates in front of him put him in an impossible position,it was a simple ball played forward into space,mcginley was daydreaming and grimshaw had no awareness as he just let his man run off him.

We showed a bit of composure at the start of the second half and were in total control,mugabis cunt of a pass just before there first goal was embarrassing but we should have defended it better,grimshaw let his man run off him and did kelly need to be that far out.the penalty was a farce,there player ran into ours as for the retake,aye it's the rules but how often does it get enforced,it'll be interesting the next game madden is involved in that there's a similar incident.we were shite for the most part but it's definitely two points chucked away.

Disgraceful from the officials,madden strikes again the cunt

Sake man,that's all from mugabis cunt of a pass out the park.

Get that man signed up to a new deal pronto

Get in,we would be lost without watt.

Agreed,it's one thing giving up possession if it means we then in turn do damage when we have the ball but we're hopeless in possession,we have to many players in the team that aren't comfortable with the ball at there feet and when we do get it it's all kick and rush stuff.the best we can say about some of them are that they try which should be a giving anyway,all it takes is a couple in the team not good enough and were in trouble before a ball is kicked.

We can't even blame the conditions for that first half,we have been absolutely hopeless.

Mcginley keeping his place is crazy,grimshaw passing back to the keeper from the hallway line in these conditions are already giving me the fear.

Alexander has dropped lamie a couple of times this season on the back of a decent game,I'll be surprised if mcginley isnt left out tonight and carroll is back in.grimmy needs left out to,i would bring ohara in for him.first goal will be important tonight,if we get it then hopefully we get a result,if not then I think we will struggle to get anything.

I thought he would have been nothing more than a short term signing when he came but he's been brilliant for us,I've really taking to him and hope he stays.he is the fittest and most focused he has been in his career and obviously that's showing on the park,hopefully we can benefit from that beyond this season.hes honest enough to say money will be a factor in what he does next,fingers crossed we can come up with the right deal for him.

I said in an earlier post about the forward line being disjointed but the midfield is even worse,we could play a combination of any three we have and it wouldn't make us play any different,we don't have players with the legs to get about the pitch,it's all very samey in midfield for us,players should be complimenting each other but at times it looks like strangers playing together for the first time.its far from panic stations but that's three poor performances in a row albeit against teams in form but we have been the architects of our downfall each time.the st mirren game certainly isn't must win but it would be nice to end the mini slump were in.

Not for me,i would like to see them play together as a two and try and strike up some kind of partnership,there both good players and I think they would work together.our front three looks pretty disjointed in general and playing either watt or van veen on the left of that just doesn't work.

Exactly,we need to do away with this zonal defending carry on,I just can't get why any manager would accept the opposition putting balls into the box unopposed,we just don't defend well enough and will lead to disaster more often than not.

Really poor stuff losing that game,when we got back level we should have made sure we brought a point back down the road,it's really frustrating losing they games where it's nothing more than fine margins,we don't want that becoming a bad habit.full backs were honking,I'm not a big fan of carroll but atleast he might provide a decent delivery now and again where as mcginley is just woeful,odonnell has been dire all season but the alternative is playing grimshaw there and he shouldn't be in the team as it is.midfield is a complete conundrum,I think no matter who we play in there the problems will remain.the front three just hasn't work,theres no link up or anything,its just three guys playing as individuals.i would go 352 and see where that gets us,it might make us a bit harder to beat and we would be better off with only two strikers on the park.

We really do,both timid going forward,constantly caught out of position and couldn't stop a cross coming in if there life depended on it.

It's basic stuff you get taught as a boy,stop the cross and stop the goal but we never have any interest in closing down the ball out wide.

Shocking goal to concede,how many times are we going to get punished by our full backs standing off letting the cross come in.

He seems to be highly rated from the couple of bits I've read online about him and being only 20,it would be a move that would make sense for us.players over there have definitely improved a lot in recent times,certainly since the days of the irish trio we signed.

We can't go away from home with a non existent midfield against a team in form and play our 433,we have to start this game with the aim of being hard to beat and see where it gets us.i would be tempted to go 352 and bring in carroll and sondre and go with van veen and watt up top.
