From the current team I see us having a very decent keeper and decent (not brilliant) attacking options. That leaves a full defence and core midfield that I have little confidence in. In the past when our backs have been against the wall there's always been a quorum that I believed in would see us through. From guys like Leitch, Craggs, Hammel, Lasley, McManus, Faddy, Turnbull, Campbell etc. We don't have anyone like that now (who remain as players) Appreciate this is captain hindsight but the last 4-5 years have been a decline , so much so a large majority of our fans expect relegation. There no other conclusion to come to. Since mid october we are an all present in the bottom 3 form guide. All the others around us have been in and out of it, we have not managed to put anything together. The only slight glimmer is our goal difference is so much better than those around us. However I expect the next three games to nearly finish us off. We will be lucky to get one point when in reality 7 is the least we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the fact we are leaving it late doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. Relegation becoming more and more a worry. I know we probably never get our 'number one' target but a concern for me is the number of players we've 'just missed out on' in this window (as indicated by Hammell today). For such a huge window, you would have hoped that the club would have pushed the boat out just a wee bit more... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Made Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 At this rate Hammy and Kerr will need to register themselves to go at least make it look like we have some depth in this squad. The fear is now setting in that this is indeed our season to go down. How unlucky have we been 3 attacking players signed and not one of them has managed more than a game and a bit before being injured. McGinley, Carroll and Bevis also out at the other end. WIth Sol and Shields gone we need at least 4 players still. 2 to replace them and 2 at least to give us a chance of getting out of this mess.

Interesting that you say we have been in decline for 5 years. We finished 3rd in 2020. That was less than 3 years ago. Do you think the large majority expect relegation?

If as fans we genuinely expect that we will get one point from the next seven and that we are as good as finished, how can we expect the team that we (supposedly) support to show any belief or fight. The negativity is taking on new levels now. There is still nothing that suggests we are favourites for the drop. The support needs to show some belief. The negativity is transmitted to the players whether we like to relieve ourselves of all responsibility or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 starting to get concerned we have 2 fit cbs and calling Lamie a Defender is kind because hes piss poor at defending we need 4 in the door in 4 hours so ill take a centre half and a striker as priority we need a holding midfielder but thats not looking likely and a Left Back but were skint not exacly confident given our form and league position about the rest of this sason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
