Ya Bezzer!

Barry Ferguson is the manager at Clyde. They will know each other from Scotland squads.

We finished 2nd bottom and bottom in those seasons. No point bringing through good youngsters if we are relegated and have to start a fire sale. We got lucky back then, we won't this time if the same thing happens. I've said before and I'll say it again, we should brought through young players when we were doing well in the league. Now confidence is down, our league position is poor, performances are bad and it's very difficult for young players to make an impact in a poor team. This idea that we can just throw young players into the situation we are in now is painfully naive.

The last team to go five league matches without scoring was Dundee in 2012/13. They finished bottom and were relegated.

Stay away fans are going to bury the club. Instead of sitting at home waiting for better times, they are going to be sitting at home with no club to support. Before yesterday we had lost 2 out of 14 home matches yet we are rapidly becoming a sub 4,000 attendance team.

I don't see how the McManus injury played much part in the goal. He was shite all match for a start. Reid went to left back when Ramsden came on. The cross came from the left back position and then Ramsden's attempt to win the header was absolutely emabarassing for someone that makes a living as a defender. He loses headers like that just about every time, he's hopeless in the air. I didn't see ZFA signal to come off but even if he did surely we shouldn't have switched 50% of our defence to make one change with 9 minutes to go in a game we desperately needed a point from? Especially when you factor in the left wing changes we made throughout the match. Surely it's a basic that you make as few changes as possible to a back four? I know we have a lot of injuries and partially fit players but sometimes McCall really doesn't help himself. McCall substitutions lost us the match yesterday, no doubt about it.

I thought the spine of the team was much better today. Twardzik did well, McManus is frustrating and some of his passing is shocking but O'Brien looked good. I thought Lasley and Lawson did OK in central midfielder, we certainly didn't get over run in there. Sutton looked more lively as well. However with no Vigurs, no wide left player of any note in the squad and Ojamaa and Ainsworth off the pace then we have very little creativity. We need these players to be on their game because otherwise we don't have the ability to fashion opportunities. Ojamaa needs to be switched to the left wing permanently. Law cannot play there and Ojamaa doesn't score many goals and shouldn't be taking up a front spot.

McCall has been here all week for the last four weeks and it's amounted to 0 points. I don't know why people are kicking up a fuss about it.

O'Brien breezed through the game.

Amazing the difference a decent centre half made today.

This. I am absolutely furious with that absolutely ridiculous substitution. It's cost us a point and a defeat. We weren't great today but we looked a lot more solid and although we never really looked like scoring neither did St. Johnstone. Then with a few minutes to go McCall swaps round 50% of a back four that's looked pretty solid all afternoon. It's an absolutely calamitous decision. Shocking. Absolutely fucking shocking. Seriously what the fuck was he even thinking about? An act of fucking sabotage on McCall's part. He has no one but himself to blame for that defeat tonight.

Play him at centre half today!

I think it's based on us blowing out our arse every match this season. I don't know what we did in Portugal but as I've already said constantly giving the ball away and chasing games doesn't help matters.

Pretty much. I think it's unfair to single out individual players when we've hardly have a good performance even on an individual player basis, never mind as a team. The one thing about Sutton I would say is that he needs to stay on his feet. It's extremely frustrating to watch, especially when we aren't doing well.

Your powers of premonition are quite extraordinary. Maybe you think they will be struggling at the wrong end of the table but that remains to be seen. Even when Accies were ACTUALLY struggling at the wrong end of the table we still managed to struggled against them. Factor in things like the artificial turf, our last calamitous visit to Douglas Park and us losing the last cup tie between the teams, then it's a draw with a lot of bad omens. We were a better team than them, right now they are a better team than us and that's unlikely to change before the tie is played.

Terrible draw, almost the worst draw we could get IMO.

St. Johnstone haven't score more than 2 goals. We haven't conceded more than 2 goals in 90 mintues. I'm not that confident about this game but the 5-0 predictions are a bit over the top.

Time is running out to sort the problems otherwise the dye is cast. Not too many people espect us to take any thing off St. Johnstone in the next match. After that we are away to Ross County which, if we don't get anything against St. Johnstone, suddenly becomes a huge match and a potential 6 pointer. Then the next game is away to Celtic which could be a complete roasting and a collapse in morale if we've not got a win by then. To be sitting on, say, 4 points after 7 games wouldn't be knicker wetting. It's not happened yet but the next two matches are really important for us in terms of defining our season. Remember by the time we play Celtic at least 4 teams, excluding Celtic, will have a very good chance of being over the 10 points mark and potential a few others could as well.

St. Johnstone are notoriously well organised and hard to break down. Can't see where a goal is coming from and they will almost certainly score against us. Football is a strange game, maybe we will cuff them on Saturday but looking at the evidence it's difficult to predict an up turn.

I must be missing all these matches were Jack Leitch is a stick on first choice midfielder. I've seen him give one excellent performance against Celtic and the rest where much of a muchness at best. Yesterday he hardly kicked the ball. I'm not saying he won't break into the team eventually or that he has no future at Motherwell but right now I don't see it. It's almost a mark of desperation when we are elevating Jack Leitch to a status that he doesn't actually deserve. For me Lee Erwin has shown a lot more in a couple of games than Jack Leitch has in 15 or however many it is.

If you took those games, took away any goal threat we had and then added further defensive frailty then that's approximately where we are at the moment. v Dundee Utd Shots 3 On Target 0 v Inverness Shots 5 On Target 0 v Kilmarnock Shots 7 On Target 2 Says it all.

He lined up right midfield at the beginning of the match and since we didn't get any substitutions for 80 minutes and no one else was right midfield I assume that's what position he was supposed to be playing. Against Stjarnan he played in a sort of support striker role, St. Mirren he was left midfield, Inverness he was centre midfield, yesterday right midfield. He would have to be some player to be able to perform well in a weaken team in all those positions. On what I've seen his best game was playing just off Sutton up front but I think it's a bit harsh to judge this guy when he's playing a different role every week. When he settles down into a specific role then you can say, but as I said originally I don't see who drops out the team to accomodate Law when we have a first XI to pick from.

To be fair to the guy I've seen us play four competitive matches and Josh Law has played 4 different position in those matches. Personally I don't see him as anything other than a utility player that's going to come to fill up gaps.

Spot on. I mean it's a glaring issue. It's a bit like driving a Grand Prix with no front left wheel.

You should hold the thought until we've played Ross County. St. Mirren have already outplayed us on our own patch and Ross County at least manage to score in most of their games.

Vigurs gets the vote. Only guy in the team with a touch.
