Suspect today will be a harsh wake up call to the happy clappers. The summer was the time for McCall to move on. Regrettably, the season is unfolding as I envisaged and the next manager will be left with dross like McHugh, Neilson, Lawson and Vigurs on 2 year contracts.

We shouldn't be waiting until the last year of his contract. At the very latest, he should have been offered a deal when we got the ojamaa cash. We make the same mistake time after time. How do Dundee Utd manage to get top notch talents signed up to 2016? Lost track of how development fees work. Given that we offloaded Jamie Murphy in January at the age of 23 for a pittance, I expect a similar scenario again. For a club that preaches youth development and the need to sell a player every year, the process is very poorly managed.

Bad but unsurprising news if true. Again, we leave it too late to offer a contract.

That Killie defence has got to be one of the worst the SPL has seen.

Didn't realise he hadn't played against Brechin sorry. Would be nice to see him feature then.

Erwin is due back after the sevco game tomorrow but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go back out on loan, hopefully to a 1st Division team. He's cup-tied anyway. Hope to see Sutton and Moore paired up front with a view to playing them both against Celtic. Lawson and Lasley also need some game time together... Should be scoring 5 or 6 here.

Confident that Kerr will turn into a centre half once he learns to handle players running with the ball at him. He's got all the attributes required. For now, we need his mobility up and down the right to compensate for our lack of pace middle to front.

Welcome 3 points and clean sheet. Hopefully the performance was a tad more promising than recent months. Delighted to see Moore get a start. Wonder if Erwin may get a slight look-in with his loan deal up this week. Depressing to see Faddy withdrawn at half time yet again. Just not happening.

Dreadful game in prospect. 2-0 Boyd.

Shite news. Had the potential to be a right good day.

Far from trolling. McCall has done a fantastic job beyond all expectations but his success has primarily been based on quality players as opposed to tactical awareness. After a very poor attempt at rebuilding the squad in the summer, we are a mediocre team in a very poor league. Can't imagine he enjoys heading into training to work with the current squad in comparison to the quality we had last season. And something clearly isn't right with training given how unfit we look.

We're ready for a change in managent and outlook but priority has to be moving on some of our recently recruited journeymen.

Know my stuff. I just sat back and enjoyed watching United's young Scottish talent. we were always going to get pumped as soon as we came up against a half decent team. Worst squad since Malpas days.

We'd take in excess of 2,000 no bother but I'd rather get involved in a ticket scramble than play at a neutral venue.

Appreciate that the buzz stems from being close to the away support but the kids in the cooper would love it up at their end. Worth trialling at a game where we get heehaw away support?

Dundee Urd have a great record against us at Fir Park in recent times and for me are capable of running Aberdeen close for 2nd place. Up against Robertson, Gomes, Gauld, GMS, Armstrong and Ciftci ( although he may be suspended) we could be in for a proper doing if they are on song. Record of 1 point against the current top 6 not to improve any time soon.

Big fan of Carswell but I thought he and Lasley got caught up the park time after time allowing Robertson and Craig plenty of space to run at McManus and Hutch. Not a criticism just an observation, think the midfield pairing need to take turns at going forward while the other sits, particularly when they get no protection from our wide men. Carswell also done well to get through the 90 minutes when he was clearly carrying the effects of the knock he picked up before ht.

Kerr, McManus, Cummins and Angol I'd reckon. Up against one of the best forward lines in the league.

McManus by a distance.

Ramsden 4-6 weeks with Hamstring. Hammell got a nasty cut but he was toiling already with his groin.

Two woeful teams that would go a long way to getting football stopped. Heard McCall saying that the back 4 went into the game carrying knocks so we've done well to grind out 3 points. However, our standard of play and general fitness isn't up to scratch, regardless of budget. Look forward to a half decent Dundee Utd coming to Fir Park next week.

Imagine Scott Leitch would jump at the chance. If he does a good job he'd fancy his chances of being manager one day.

Think the departure of Fenlon may give them the required boost. Don't see this living up to the excitement of recent Hibs trips to FP as both teams have been very mundane this season. Clinging on to the hope that Faddy is ready to go or Moore gets a surprise outing.

And who wanted to sign Faddy? Not convinced this was a McCall shout.

Hopefully Ross County want their two numpties back.
