Hmmm are you perfect Steelboy? Have you ever got somethings wrong at your work, have you ever had the actual responsibility to formulate a plan, see its not working and then change it, have you ever had to put a team of people together, motivate and train them. From the tone of your posts I doubt it as if you have then you will realise managing anything is not an exact science, and perhaps be a bit more realistic in your expectations. It seems to me you have an irrational dislike for our manager which transcends the normal debate and differences of opinion quite rightly aired on here, but I will give you this you have been consistent in your view of him. For now I am happy with what he has done since he stepped in. As regards the likes of Campbell/McLean he has proved he is willing to put them in but they now have to prove they are up to the task. If they do they will play more often simples, but expecting them to be regular starters every week is unrealistic at this stage of their development As you say Campbell changed things when he came on. Wonder who made that decision? But I suppose in your eyes he should be castigated for not starting with him so deserves no credit for making the change. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Agree with all of that but what does 'shilpit' mean? Thats a new one for me and I am often accused of using strange words! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I see BBC reporter is crediting our victory to changing formation to 3 5 2. Couldn't make it today, is that an accurate report? Great to see a win being ground out when not playing well and a manager prepared to make the right changes at the right time. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Ya bezzer seems to think the opposite (ie Airdrie fans not happy with him), but then he has been putting a pretty negative spin on most things recently. Never seen the lad play but happy to trust the clubs judgement on this and the immediate loan back plus having him involved at Motherwell during the week seems sensible Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

2 cracking goals great build up and finishing.....future is bright. If a home draw next lets get it at FP and get a crowd in to see the lads Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Love it, I felt your pain on the previous blog mentioned, as it in many ways epitomised how I felt, and agree with every word in this one. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Can't think of any in recent times. Think the big man could be immense for us. He has a good head on his shoulders as well, watching highlights, at very end of match a ball was played into the box, County man had possession but he didn't dive in, forced him back then ft whistle went. Brains and Brawn that will do for me Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Aye Bigi caught in posession to start it all, maybe not fully fit after missing Sunday Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

It would appear this is one rule you didn't know about mate. I actually thought you were on the wind up with your Robbo/Burrows comment....maybe you were, and if so you have hooked me..... because if not hope you enjoying your big slice of humble pie Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Wasn't a moment of madness it was a certain goal and he 'took one for the team' in trying to stop it. You are right though in that it looked a correct red card to me Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

To put that result into perspective that was County's first defeat in 14 games going back to last season. Terrific result Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Well done lads i am just glad you had more fight and belief in yourselves than the hysterical pant wetters on here Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

We are allowed to in extra time..anyway if we werent the ref would not have allowed it so ffs get real Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I see numerous comments not happy about the back 3. All I would say is Robbo has tightened us up enormously, any game lost has been by the odd goal, or goallie has still to be seriously tested, so for me the more important issue to be resolved is at the other end of the park. Like you I don't think he is afraid to line up differently if he feels it is right to do so, and am quite happy to trust his judgement in that regard Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I feel your pain Gav and I posted similar sentiments (although maybe not as strong) last year. Loyalty though is a 2 way street and as others have pointed out 10/15/20 years ago we had players here for a season or two and then gone. I have no issue with that as long as they play well when here. The other side of the coin is clubs show no loyalty if a player loses form, is not liked by a new manager, or gets injured. It is a short career and players need to maximise their opportunities which they will not do as one club players. I would love to see more home grown players in the first team and I have no doubt so would the club. Development fees if they move on even at the end of contracts are lucrative for the club (Erwin!), but these same rules prohibit us going for young Scottish talent from other clubs as they are too expensive. Hence the model we have but the caveat for me is to see more of our own in the first team as the next 2 seasons progress, and a better quality of signings (which in the main this season we have). For now I would say the youngsters are not ready and fans would quite rightly criticise the manager for throwing them in en mass and have us in trouble yet again. We are not the only club with this issue and I feel it is not the club that is the issue its the system. Anyway hope your golf had a better result than the team on Sunday Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Yeah Tanner does seem to divide opinion, I have now warmed more to him and think he will be good for us, absolute peach of a delivery for equaliser, just have to accept not every delivery will be as good !!! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I can exclusively reveal that Sky TV have been taken over by Rangers TV (or so it seemed). Sychophantic unprofessional coverage Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Interesting point about Carson, must mean the defence in front of him doing a few things right. Good stop near the end although was offside. Certainly looks the part in terms of confidence/organisation Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
-
Decent performance yes lacking in quality at times but fought hard Cadds Kipri Dunn pretty good. Cant legislate for top scorer missing a sitter and giving away a pen. Had it with Bowman, Fisher unlucky, terrific save and chance set up by 'off the pace' McHugh who to be fair wasnt as good without Biggi beside him. We will be fine this season..younger fitter and better organised Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Craig Clay came on for Orient 79 mins. They got beat 2-0 away to Sutton. Yet another great little club ruined by numpty owners. Challenging for championship to non league in a few seasons Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
