Ya Bezzer!

We definitely need a striker, actually let me re-phrase that, we definitely need a goal scorer. If we'd had one yesterday we could have had the game put away at half time but if you can't score or at best get 1 then you are always going to drop points. Can you imagine if all the chances that have dropped to Tony Watt this season had fallen to Louis Moult or Tommy Coyne?

We've played well before and not won - say Dundee Utd. I think although the first half performance was much better than Accies or Aberdeen and some players upped their performance levels most of the problems are still there and haven't been cured simply by appointing a new manager. We are 10 without a win and are away at Ibrox next. Then we face Aberdeen with our stinking home record and have an absolutely crucial tie against Ross County. We are still deep, deep, deep in the mire. No one should be getting complacent and we definitely need a talent injection in this window or it's going to be a long hard slog till the end of the season.

In terms of successive league matches without a win this is our worst run in at least 10 years. We had 1 win in 11 and 4 points the season McCall resigned. Currently on 0 wins in 10 and 4 points. Alexander has a lot of work to do. Next three matches are Rangers, Aberdeen and Ross County.

Been coming to be fair. We've just dropped out the game 2nd half.

Bingo!

I think the word is 'profligate'.

Watt proving that while he's far from our worst player he's just not a goal scorer.

Could be. But O'hara could be right midfield and Hastie left midfield. That's what I seemed most natural to me just looking at the line up. I guess we'll find out fairly soon!

Looks like a 4-4-2 (as we were tipped off on). Players all in natural positions is a start. There is one player in particular that I wouldn't have started but I think we need to approach this in the same way as the manager - a new start and we start judging players again from today on.

I basically share a lot of the same concerns as you do but most of them are strategic club decisions and less to do with Alexander's appointment. Given the choices available I think, although the proof will be in the pudding, we've made the right decision. It's true that Alexander has no experience of the league but he is a pretty experienced manager and I'm one of those people that thinks you should set out your team to play the way you want rather than worrying too much about the opposition especially in a league were there is a dearth of quality. Of course managers have to make tactical changes and tweaks during a match depending on how things go but I don't really see the need to set up specifically to counter St. Mirren or Livingston. It should be more about putting together a team that can dictate play to the opposition 60%+ of the time and given that probably 10 out the 12 teams are much of a muchness I don't think that's an impossible task. It just needs small improvements in player and manager performance. Right now the single biggest issue is bringing the squad together and getting the team and individuals playing to a standard that they are capable of and to instil some belief. Is the squad good enough? I don't think so but at the same time we are definitely underperforming. Bring in new blood is also going to crucial as is moving players on.

He's definitely not been at his best but if you look at our recent matches he's still the guy that been closest to scoring a goal.

Interesting that he's talking about splits and factions in the dressing room. It's been alluded to before but he's basically confirming it here.

Don't know a whole lot about the guy but he's got a bit of experience and a decent enough record. Hopefully he can turn things round. If not, at least I can tick Arbroath off my stadiums list.

Wright basically had a decent team for a long-ish period and when it started to age and break up the results tapered off. I'd say there are a few parallels with our very own Stuart McCall. You might argue that he's not the right guy for a major rebuild which I think is what is needed and what will happen.

I know they still count but a lot of Brophy's goals are penalties. He's also had various 'droughts' over the past few seasons, definitely not a consistent scorer. Probably better than some of our current strikers but not sure he's the answer.

Grimshaw and a few others that aren't good enough at this level have made a good living off our generosity at handing out wages from not much return. I'm sure there are young guys at the club that can give you enthusiasm and might even make a pass once in a while. Nothing against him personally but if you are 4 seasons in at a club and you aren't a stick on first teamer then its time to move on.....or get moved on. Keeping senior players on that aren't good enough for the first XI in insanity and one of the reasons our squad isn't good enough.

Let's just be grateful Chapman is not playing again.

Guessing John Hughes wanted a better job than Ross County but he was sat on his arse for a while and no one else wanted him. Tommy Wright on reassessing the demand for himself might also have a slightly different attitude than he did a while back.

There's actually quite a few decent players in Scotland at the moment not getting game time. To name a few....Dylan McGeouch, Stevie Mallan, Scott Allan, Jordan Jones, Greg Stewart and Scott Brown!

They had 1 win in 15 or something. They were probably looking realistically at a managerial change for a while before it happened. With us I think the club would have supported Robinson and he's taken them a bit by surprise in resigning.

Before today I would have said no to Wright but after today I think I'd say yes. You'd fancy him to at least keep us up and after that showing at NDP that might be the extent of our ambitions. You were looking for a reaction today and we got nothing. We are in BIG trouble.

Fox is garbage and should never have been brought in the first place. O'Hara has had some excellent performances in my midfield and defence and yet I still have doubts about him. No consistency at all. I think we need an experienced centre half to play along side Gallagher so I'd be looking for a defender. Maguire needs a run in the team and we desperately need a wide left and maybe a creative midfielder as well. Long for me is the personification of everything wrong with the current squad. Doesn't really want to be here, lazy, moody, couldn't give a shite and happy to pick up a wage for bugger all. If we need to make a human sacrifice make it him. Just pay him off and show him the door and we've got rid of at least one malignancy.

Lionel had a great first season for us but it was down hill from there and by the end he was a pale shadow of himself. In terms of ability he could have played at the very top level but he obviously lacked the mental side of the game.

Was just going through the squad with the Red Pen of Death and reckon we have 16 players and that's including Hussain, Johnston, Devine and Cornelius. Absolute priority has to be a left sided midfielder, a striker who can actually score, and a goalkeeper. That's only a start but what absolutely needs to be done tomorrow for us to have a fighting chance. I have to say thought I disagree about Tait and Hartley. We've hardly kicked a ball since James Scott left and Tait and Hartley where here when this terrible run started back in January. Fresh blood desperately needed.

Last two times McCall was at Fir Park he was utter pish at Motherwell and utter pish at Rangers. He'd probably resign Simon Ramsden. Naw x 1,000,000.
