Alexander agrees all our forwards are pish.

I don't think we have the right balance in possession/attack since Watt left to get the best out of direct attacking players. This guy isn't going to get any better service than Roberts has recently and it doesn't look like he creates so it's an uphill battle. Tierney looks like he might be able to play a pass in the final third but Hearts nullified him easily enough on Saturday.

Woolery, Roberts, Shields and Amazulor haven't been able to make much of an impact so it seems unlikely a guy released by a Belgian lower league team is going to be any different.

It's definitely been a bad window for us. We are weaker up front and relying on this American to make an impact that seems highly unlikely. I wonder how the club came to their valuation of Lamie in comparison to Watt. If the league's top scorer in Watt was only worth 100 grand it's hard to say that your 4th choice centre back is worth 30. I suspect we held on to Lamie because Burrows has realised setting a precedent where players get to chop 6 months off their contract if it suits them financially is bad business for the club but it just looks daft now after bending over for Dundee United.

If the American is any good he will surely come straight into the team. Hopefully Maguire is fit because our midfield was toothless after he went off on Saturday.

Murphy or Jones would have been a big improvement on what we have.

Have we been linked with anyone?

Poor Tony . Alexander was that bad a manager that he had to start focussing on his football and scoring a few goals to get away from Fir Park.

Just a normal fan with access to GPS stats joining to talk about Riki Lamie..... Lamie cost us goals against Livingston and Dundee and then almost let Dundee back in it at Fir Park getting turned twice. He's had a few decent games since then but also a nightmare up at Dens again.

Lamie is pish. He had a few good games but has made plenty of mistakes in his limited game time this season.

You could tell from his reaction to missing the first chance that we were going to get heehaw out him today. Hopefully he picks on up Tuesday night.

The club has had 40 days to find a replacement for Tony Watt. If we don't bring in a number 9 who is more reliable than KVV or a player to go straight into the team who can link midfield to attack and create we are in for a painful end to the season.

Who do you think is a stick on to overtake us?

We are just missing anyone in the final third who can control the ball and play a pass.

Two goals from Shaw losing the ball.

He's got 8 goals and the rest of the team has 2. That's probably got something to do with it. Those were two bad misses but we don't have anyone else who even gets an opportunity to miss.

Very poor. McGinley had loads of time and played a shite pass putting Shaw under pressure. Shaw made a bad decision and lost it. Goss should have cleared.

It was a pass back. He gets away with handling outside the box every game.

What level in Greece?

The Hearts line up has four new players in it which might work to our advantage. Two Aussies, a loanee from Bristol City and the new striker from Everton.

That team looks more threatening than the one on Wednesday.

4 goals in 45 appearances for Efford in Belgium. He'll fit right in with Woolery, Shields and Roberts.

Carroll has been fine at centre half. 30 minutes at Hibs no goals conceded. Solid at Celtic Park and not to blame for the goal and no shots on target versus Hibs. I'd bring Ojala back for the Celtic game.

There's no point in playing three up top when we have no cohesion going forward. I'd drop Shields and obviously Donnelly and bring in Shaw and Slattery. Line up with a lopsided 4-2-3-1 and try to attack down our right. Kelly SOD Sol Carroll McGinley Shaw Maguire Roberts Slattery Goss KVV

So there are rumours about Mugabi moving to Aberdeen or Hearts enabling Souttar and/or Gallagher to move. Big Victor looks like a Mugabi replacement so there might be something in it. If we get two transfer fees from rivals and two wages off the books we should have the budget for a decent attacker or two. If Hibs want to move Murphy on I think he could do a good job linking the midfield and the attack which is where we are struggling right now.
