Here we go,we never make it easy for ourselves.

I never thought i would say this after the first 2 or 3 games this season but mugabi is coming on leaps and bounds,he had another good game today and actually doesn't look to bad with the ball at his feet now,long may it continue.

Dire stuff yet again but thankfully st johnstone are just as powder puff in front of goal as we are and the one bit of quality in the game came our way.

This second half is going the same way as the utd and accies game,if we don't get the finger out were going to chuck this away.

We've had a break to hopefully iron out our problems,we have to see a reaction,if we see another lacklustre performance then the alarm bells will be starting to ring for me.i don't care how we do it but 3 points is a must.

Hopefully there's plenty of work getting put in over the international break and we can come out much improved.its to early to push the panic button but if we put in another lacklustre performance against at Johnstone after having a break then the alarm bells will be ringing for me.

It was all about getting through and doing it with a few goals was a bonus but there's still a lot of work needing done,we should be looking at a short term option at left back until the injuries clear up as moving odonnell there to accommodate grimshaw just can't happen,grimshaw is a nightmare that seems to cause nothing but problems.good to see polworth back with a decent performance.

Ooft pick that one out

Hes got zero game awareness,he really does play like a school boy

We better not sit back an try a defend this,go and finish the game off.

This is all to samey from us yet again,the longer this game goes it favours them.

Grimshaw is horrific,why move a solid right back to bring him back into the team.

Looking at the team,hopefully its a 442 with a diamond in midfield,i would be happy enough to give grimshaw a go at the defensive midfield role tonight,just as long as he's not back playing a wing back role in a 352

I wouldn't be taking this game for granted anyway but even more so giving our poor start to the season.no excuses,we need to be getting through this no matter what.

Haha,get it right up them

If there not prepared to pay what we agreed last time then they should be told to fuck off,especially if there trying to offer players on loan,that we don't need to reduce the fee.pay the money,take the player and fuck off and let us get on with the season ahead and not have this another drawn out saga.if nothing is in place for thursday then he should be playing,its that simple.

Robbo is under pressure and rightly so and between his body language on saturday and comments after the game,he looks like he is struggling to find the solution to our problems.granted he has got team selection and substitutions wrong already this season but the players need to be taking there share of the blame,it's there decision making that's been the real problem so far,2 idiotic decisions that led to penalties that have cost us points,grimshaw and ohara daydreaming and losing there man from cross balls has cost us points,donnollys lazy penalty and then half the team were ball watching and allowing livingston to play through us like liverpool has cost us another goal.the manager will always be the first to come under pressure but its high time our players got the finger out and started putting in some performances,were not the greatest side in the world but were much better than what we have served up so far this season.fingers crossed thursday is a turning point for us.

Totally agree,the lad is real quality,i would love to see one of the other clubs he's been linked with like leeds or newcastle take him off our hands and he can showcase his talents at the highest level.sadly i can see him at celtic park,worrying times for us,poor start to the season and potentially losing our best player.

Turnbull to sign for celtic this week according to tomorrows sun.

That's the formation i would like to see us go with starting on thursday,i would start with watt beside lang and bench white.we have played into the opposition's hands so far this season,glentoran will have done there homework and know exactly how to play us,we simply have to shake things up for this game or we could very easily be on the end of a disastrous result.

I'm not saying just cancel contracts,i wish we could with some of the shite we have right now,we should be making players available and telling there agents to try and get them something elsewhere but sadly i think we're stuck with what we have as i can't even see lower league teams down south willing to take any off our hands.we seemed to be in a hurry to get our business done early this summer and it looks like it's backfired big time.

It almost feels like it's sink or swim time already for robinson,stick to what we have been doing and we will be in serious trouble,the fact we haven't scored in 4 out of 5 games so far is a real concern and add in the opposition that we've played and it makes it look even worse.i doubt there will be any money left to bring in yet another striker so we should be actively looking to move some attacking players on to free up some wages and if that's players that have just arrived or signed new deals or whatever then so be it,if there not doing it then show them the door.our forward line is a mess,we have wide men that can't beat there man or even put half decents balls into the box on a consistent basis,we have no one that can hold the ball up or run in behind,we seem to have tried pretty much every combination with our forward line so far and yet we keep saying the same results.i like robbo but he has no choice but to try something different as this formation right now is killing us.our confidence looks absolutely shot,anything other than a win on thursday is unthinkable.

Exactly,stats don't put point on the board,i would happily see us without the ball more often if it actually meant sticking the ball in the net an picking up a win.

Every game so far has been of tight margins and that's yet another we have falling on the wrong side of the line,it's more than just luck or coincidence now and even this early on robinson needs to drastically change things.thursday is giving me the fear now,glentoran will have watched us and know that the longer the game goes at 0-0 were likely to self implode and chuck it away.1 point at home from utd,livingston and accies,fuck me that's truly horrific.

The forward players he has signed have been poor,white should be the guy that's getting thrown on late in games if we're in need of a goal,starting him is a waste of time.the fact that seedorf has been getting a run in the team says it all about the recruitment in the forward line,simply not good enough.
