Have kept my council for a while on the manager and his style of play but after the last two games I’ve seen OMG . Honestly it’s been eye bleeding . The game last night was worse than bad it was embarrassing . If fact every game we’ve played this season at home we’ve been outplayed with the exception of Hibs . There is no way we can keep playing 4-3-3. Watching us getting overrun in midfield is terrible on the eye (30-40%) pocession in home games v Dundee ,Ross Co and now St Mirren . He needs to stop this stubbornness and swallow his pride . He says pocession doesn’t win you games but it does provide entertainment which surely we want to see . It’s so blindingly obvious to go 3-5-2 and the crazy thing is we have the players to do it. If he perseveres with this they’ll be no fans left to watch that rubbish by the end of the season . It truly has been an awful watch to date. So please please please 1. give us some entertainment . That’s why I bought a season ticket. We want to see some decent football not hoofball 2.Stop repeating the same mistakes. When things are not working ….. change it 3. Alan if you read this you are watching the same as me and all the other fans that were there last night . To summarise I’m really disappointed in Alexander to date . His press conferences are brutal and his post match interviews are dillusional. Trying to bullshit the fans will only lead to one thing . So cut the crap and excuses Alexander . Start walking the walk not talking the talk

Hard to say without knowing the budgets of previous managers but since the setanta tv collapse right up there . Tommy McLean built up a good squad but took him longer than it’s taken Robbo to do it . Willie McLean also did well without much to show for it . They weren’t without there critics either . Robbo has progressed as a manager every year he’s been at FP and I believe there’s more to come from him . That’s why I’d be delighted to see him stay . He’s a good fit for the club and passes all the criteria needed to manage a club of our size/structure . Trust me we’ve seem some rockets come and go but just feel we’ve got a rough diamond who can really push us on with the help of the board

I’m going for a 9/10 for Robbo. He came in at a difficult time and stabilised us when relegation looked likely. Two cup finals and if I remember right a top six . Then eighth place followed by this seasons third . All done by getting in players who lost there way and mixing it with players from youth . All done on a shoestring budget unlike McGhee or McCall had under Leanne Dempsters reign . Has he made mistakes . Of course but he admits it and rectified it by changing it . Probably not got the same charisma as McGhee or McCall but who cares about that . Really hope he stays for the Europa competition . Think if he gets a chance he could do ok as apparently highly rated technically . For any body out there who doesn’t rate him fair enough . Everyone is entitled to there opinion but all I would say is be careful what you wish for . Been going to FP for over 50 years now since Boddy Howitt was manager and have seen them all come and go . Many of them high profile and legends in there own heads . Robbo brings stability structure and technical knowledge as well as honesty so he’ll do for me . Would love him to be manager for foreseeable future .

+1 . Delighted with the governance of the club since Dempster left . Jim McMahon and the board have not only steadied the ship but gave us a solid base to build on . Was looking forward to seeing us progress further under their leadership but this crisis might derail us a little . Hopefully not . Anyway I’ve complete confidence in their ability and decision making . And a word for Alan Burrows . This lad has proved himself beyond doubt that he is a hard working CEO and we’re lucky to have him . The club was restructured from top too bottom and we’re in the best position we’ve been in financially and on the park for a long time And that’s down to the guys in charge . Long may it continue as under dempster boyle we were flying by the seat of our pants with no stability and that’s always a disaster waiting to happen

Is draw on the telly . If so what time

Another great three points to go with the three from Wednesday night . Last year we maybe weren’t as resilient and could have maybe only got draws Tbh if it wasn’t for Gillespie saves in last minute of both games we would have been looking at two points from six . Gallagher and Hartley are forming a good understanding as they get familiar with each other’s game . All in all delighted with the team so far .

Great news . Be good to here from society/boards re priorities going forward now that the debt is cleared . Credit to everyone involved from board to supporters . Shows what can be done with effort and commitment. Its a good feeling to know the club is sustainable for the medium to long term . Also a lot of credit goes to John Boyle and Les Hutchinson for making the whole project achievable by giving us generous payback terms

Does anyone know what the situation is with Casper Sloth . It’s all gone very quiet . If it’s personal reasons then that’s absolutely fine it’s nobody business and the bloke is entitled to privacy and I would expect the club to honour that However if it’s not that then what is the problem , unsettled ,unfit ,injury problems etc etc . Was looking forward to see him play and we certainly could do with his experience but for some reason so far it’s not to be .

So is that who the injury concern is ?

Who’s the centre half with an injury concern as Robinson mentions on the official website . That’s why we’ve signed the new guy on a short term deal .

Nothing to go on but I’ve got a feeling we could see Kyle Lafferty at fir park . We’re looking for a striker who could go straight into the team and Robinson connection with NI and Rangers prepared to let him go . Also Gerrard saying something may happen with him re transfer today or tomorrow . Anybody reckon it’s a possibility

Excellent interview with Maurice Ross and great insight as to how club is run by the coaching staff . Refreshingly honest and pragmatic . He seems to really understand the philosophy of the club and where we are in the big scheme of things . Sounds like a great addition to the coaching staff . Possible manager of our club one day ? Just putting it out there if eventually Robinson decides he’s done his bit and wants to move on in the future

Yeah we could maybe get Jose Morinho in to sort it out . or Can we not keep Robinson and get rid of Yodo

Your 100% correct . Hastie moves on . We build a squad for next season without him . Would I have liked him to stay .. yes . I’m I really that bothered .. no . Can we cope without him .. absolutely . End of

Oops wrong thread . Nonetheless what’s the story with him re his contract

What’s the script with Hartley . Has he another year left on his contract ? . Was he injured or dropped ?

Think your missing the point that Burrows is making . Could you also put on my lottery numbers this weekend

Great article by Alan Burrows in the times stating the clubs policy . Fully agree with him on the subjects he covered . It’s always going to be a gamble with young players and theres no way we could have foreseen the speedy progress made by Hastie . There’s not may CEO would be willing to come out in the press to justify there actions but Burrows does so in an articulate and concise way . It’s up to Hastie what he does next . We’ve gave it our best offer . Hopefully the article will clear up a lot of discussion around our transfer policy for our supporters

Yeah the gap makes good reading . Few more wins and we should be fine . As many are saying chance to see if some other kids can break through . Scott and Livingston come to mind as think there the closest . But it has to be balanced with the fact we need to get as high up the league as possible as the money will be needed more than ever due to early cup exit . So bit of a balancing act . We can now look to next season . I’m not saying we are safe but at least we have a big gap between us and two bottom teams . Not the worst position to be in . We can maybe start to look the players who are out of contract as well . So all in all the 3 wins have given us some breathing space to sort out above issues/situations . Fairly relaxed about the position we’re in compared to a few weeks ago when we looked like relegation contenders . I like many want to see as many of our own kids in the first team but it has to be measured against the finances/league placing this season

Lets forget about injuries , manager ,tactics etc etc and get right behind the team and try and help them out today .We are all well fans with different views but let’s be as one today . Need a big response so let’s forget the negativity for a few hours at least and hopefully we can all celebrate at the end of the game . Then over the next few weeks we can hopefully get the team freshened up . COYW

Not much been said about it but we had a 16 year old winger on the bench yesterday . He has come through the youth system and apparently is very promising .

Just been down to collect tickets for Accies game . On sale till 3pm today then office shuts till 3rd jan . Was told remaining tickets will go back to accies later today and there WILL BE a PATG . So yeah it’ll be the usual shambles at the gates again !!!!!!!

Is the Accies game all ticket or is there a PATG option .

I hope bigi never pulls a Claret and amber top on again . One of the worst Well players ive seen in 50 years . Bye bye Bigi . Nice guy but not a Well player ever. And that takes some doing . . Re the game . 4 strikers and Dunne and Grimmy were unable to provide one decent cross in 90 mins . This team is terrible on the eye . Main and Johnstone !!!!!!!!!. . First half Main header was pathetic FROM 6 YARDS . Pathetic strikers
