Were you at the game the other night? Toxic barely sums it up.

Which of those games do you think we played well in? Livi we got a draw by the skin of our teeth, St Mirren gifted us 2 goals, Hearts had their eye on the cup final and chucked it after the defender went off injured and the Ross County game was a non event with a soft pen winner.

Kelly does have a point about the fans though. I was thinking the other night as the team came out it was great backing but we would turn on them in a second, it only took five minutes. Players were getting pelters every time they came near the stand and it definitely impacted their confidence. During the second half it seemed like they were just playing out the clock, there was zero belief which is primarily down to the players but everyone in the away end had chucked it as much as the players. The fact that it was so warm probably kept the lid on things at the end of the game as everyone seemed as tired and fed up as they were angry. Obviously i've done my share of boo boying myself over the years but you can't give out to the players at the same time as demanding they get a win. It doesn't really work if you rattle the whole team in a big game.

And also Blair Spittal just blasting the ball out the park from a decent position to give them possession. But a decent keeper saves that and it's the reason that we won't be fielding any bids for Kelly. He's not tall enough for any team with a budget for buying a goalie.

The free kick on Thursday was Dan Twardzik level stuff. The ball was in the air for an age.

The guy is struggling to play right back never mind left back.

I still think he was going for the pay off from the moment he signed the improved contract. It's not credible to go from being a very competent if negative manager to absolutely useless on the level of Iain Cathro in the space of a few weeks. Team selections, tactics and transfers have all been essentially self sabotage since January. Thinking back to his Open Goal interview every answer no matter the question eventually ended with Alexander talking about money, obviously that's what pro football is all about but it was way beyond anything you would expect. I think he did a bottom line calculation and decided to fuck us. Bringing in an experienced right back when the captain is a right back and Spittal to play left midfield when you have Goss signed up for another two years is an incredible waste of resources, fuck knows how he managed to justify it to Burrows. If you are generous you can say the two of them are like for like so the only real addition is Morris who does not look like the required standard for our level. He is a Steve Jones or Trevor Molloy standard player.

Fan power did for McGhee. It'll be the same for Alexander.

I wasn't at the Albion Rovers game so that was the worst game I've ever attended. To me it looks like Alexander and Lucketti want a payoff. There's no other explanation. He has to go now, I quite liked him until about March but there are so many fans against him now that we need a fresh start. Tonight was brutal and if results don't change next Saturday at Fir Park will be carnage. It's also pretty obvious the players aren't playing for him. The situation with SOD is farcical.

We had finished bottom six and got into Europe via fairplay so probably not much more.

McGinley still needs an operation so will be out for a while. It's unbelievable that people are still talking about Griffiths after last season. The Snapchat stuff, the pyro at St Johnstone then being shite at Falkirk. The best place for him is Open Goal FC with Slane.

He was a great player for us but he has zero managerial experience and could start a fight in an empty house. If we get knocked out on Thursday it'll be Starjnan all over again. He won't be sacked but it'll be just a matter of time.

According to Wikipedia it's only 75% RC with a Mosque, a Methodist Church and a Presbyterian Church so it's out of order.

Morris and Maguire had 10 shite efforts between them so we probably did have 20.

It was exactly like the Morton game. We beat ourselves tonight.

Shoots a one on one straight at the keeper at a comfortable height. Fucks up a tap in by running towards Van Veen. Has a clear shot in the box, takes 5 touches and doesn't get a shot off. Demands to take a dangerous free kick and passes it back to the goalie. Free header straight at the keeper. Zero end product from his chances and his crossing was worse.

We would have been better with the same players as last season. Morris, Spittal and McGinn were pish. A lot of people ask what Goss contributes, Blair Spittal answered that question. Cornelius gives us energy and a goal threat and didn't even get on. SOD can't defend but that game would have suited him to get forward. The manager has a week to sort it out. If we lose to Sligo he has to go.

Morris was abysmal. 4 good chances completely fucked and dreadful set pieces. Shields missed an open goal from 6 yards. Tierney bottled a 1 on 1 again. Efford was a headless chicken again. 2 decent forwards or we are relegation fodder.

Morris and Shields showing why we need new forwards. Bevis having a mental midget moment in another huge game at Fir Park sadly isn't a surprise. Barry Maguire should be fined every time he hits a shite shot.

Who do we think will start tonight? Kelly, Lamie, Carroll and Shields are the only players i'm 100% confident in seeing. Barry Maguire and Slattery will probably be in midfield.

He's won 15 of 56 league games since summer 2020.

If KVV isn't available we might be relying on set pieces.

Do they get to choose? That seems a bit unfair.

Spittal has been in Scottish football for years so we know roughly what we are getting. He was the third most creative player in a team that finished below us. Morris clearly has ability but he's not a forward.

They chose an angle where you can't actually see Efford hitting it.
