got to ask serious questions re how we go about training. For so many players to be out strains/pulls/muscle injuries - can't help but wonder what regime looks like,

Personally I've seen enough of Maguire to say thank you and good luck. When he came through as a central defender 4 years ago he was too slow. Now he's in midfield he's still too slow and wants too much time on the ball. Given he's had several years around the edges of the squad Im stunned we extended his contract.

completely agree with you. Don't see us damning any other player for their injury. Hope he's back asap as we're missing him.

It feels like kangaroo court here where people are determined that Gallagher is the Panto villain. I suspect we'd have let him go or at least agree to remove the auto extension part of his contract. He has little to gain by throwing his toys out.

in reality we need to see fighting/battling qualities from the starting 11. If fit I believe we have 7. (Kelly, Mugabi, Gallagher, Carrol, Campbell, O'hara & Watt) Time for others to prove themselves

our team needs balance. I used to read the team sheet and think good guy, good guy, wanker, good guy, wanker, good guy, good guy, wanker We need more good guys back in the team.

If you looked at just the stats Watt is a player who'd be slated for his lack of goals . The simple fact that he works his backside off and has the ability to hold the ball and pass means he's our player of the year , despite. a lack of goals. We need more lads to care the way Watt does. Still don't think he's a striker but a great player to have just behind the front 2

given the team can't get out of our own half of the park - can't say I'd give any of our strikers a hard time. If they were missing loads of chances then yes. The issue with Smith is we don't cross the ball - therefore his height isn't any advantage at the moment

Polworth has talent but doesn't suit playing in a 3 man midfield. He can't tackle - but he can split defences with good passes. Unless we play a 3-5-2 he's a luxury we can't afford and to be honest I'd rather drop Watt back and play him in the hole.

the problem is no one can pass. Lamie, Crawford , Magiore , Carrol embarrassingly poor at basic passes.

I would rather have Long as the central striker than Cole. I don't believe Cole offers much as the number 9 albeit I appreciate he's chipped in with a few goals recently. I'd rather have him on the left/right on the strike force. That said even as I write this it feels like we're reengaging deckchairs on the titanic.

completely agree. Watt, Carrol and S'OD just about get pass marks. Gallagher, Carson, Campbell, Donnelly , O'Hara are the players we're missing that would be first team picks. Bottom line we don't have 11 decent first team players.

bottom line is we need to work a damn site harder irrespective of formation or selection. from who we have available Kelly Magloiore Lamie McGinley Odonnell. Crawford Maguire Car roll Watt Long. Cole

Jock Brown for his optimism that at 0- 3 we might find a way back into the game.

I was just thinking about this . In our final 5 matches we'll need to scrap and fight for everything. Irrespective of talent I'd only back Kelly, Mugabi, Campbell, O'Hara, Grimmy, Watt to show any real fight. From the 826 players on our books that's a huge concern.

He'll be in the Scottish Championship in 3 months - sadly that's where we could be heading if not very careful

Formation really gets on my goat for the following obvious reasons. The front 3 - don't play well together. Long is a centre forward not a wide player so it doesn't work. 3 midfield players don't work with our current team for the can't pass or are slow. We get outfought /over run every game in midfield. We could play 3 -5 -2. and have 2 wing backs 4-4-2 Bottom line is If we keep playing the same formation its 1) easy for the opposition 2) madness to expect it to work This is stuff I'd expect a new manager to change and I'd certainly expect us to change formation mid game when getting humped - it's not good enough.

a 3-5-2 could work

sadly we're learning more about the one trick pony that GA is

can't blame the manager for the players we have but he needs to take accountability for the formation. 4-3-3 every week - we got away with it a couple of time but FFS it's crying out to shore up the midfield

Carrol - pish - out of position Polworth - not a man for a midfield 3 Crawford - can tackle but can't pass Maguire - slow Lamie/Magloire - not agressvie Forwards - don't have a chance -

how much f'ing time do we give them on the ball - this is the worst team Ive ever seen

frustrating that we can all see it - I'd rather play a 4-5-1 than this pish

every game we play looks like we have less players than the other team - we don't win enough 2nd balls and midfield is non existent

McCart looks like he's a chip of the old block - would be happy to see him at FP
