What I've seen of him so far, I reckon he could be a useful player for us, but not in the back two. The way things have been going, him and Craigan might be a reasonable partnership, allowing Reynolds to be pushed in to midfield, but as with Craigan, he looks well short of pace, and that would have me trying him in midfield instead, and for the time being, leave Reynolds where he is. MON RA DOSSERS

Don't know this guy's allegiences, but in part he's got a point - we must be the most intolerant support around - as Lukeb says, most would have been knobbing the guy 6 months ago, now he knows feck all and should be hunted Where Half Man's post falls apart is in saying he signed some of the best players at FP for many a year ????????? Porter, Hughes and Boab who are at best inconsistent this season - not saying they aren't good players, but best, FFS This type of thread must be wearing me down cos I can't be arsed arguing the point anymore MON RA DOSSERS

I'd say that's exactly where we're going wrong - a hump up the park is NOT trying to play silky football. MON RA DOSSERS

Out of interest, how much of that has Clarkson been missing ? MON RA DOSSERS

A fair point and one that shouldn't be forgotten - no-one is too good to go down, and the will to stay there may well determine who stays up MON RA DOSSERS

I'm not suggetsing these guys should be starting games, but so far that we haven't used players off the bench who have changed much, if anything. At least the guys I mentioned seem to be doing well with the wee teams - if they came on just now, at least the crowd would be behind them I do agree that the experienced players are the ones we should be relying on, but if they ain't cutting it, surely trying something is better than doing nothing about it MON RA DOSSERS

I'll definitely be there next week and every home game regardless of how we're doing, but it doesn't stop me asking questions. Was Murphy injured\knackered\something else ? O'Brien isn't showing a hell of a lot when comes on, but he at least did managed to put a couple of reasonable crosses in to the box - and to have Daz come on soon after - to my mind, surely the obvious substitution in the first place was to take Steve McGarry off - the guy works hard but he (amongst others) is having a hellish time and possibly Murphy and O'Brien would have been more effective - I just don't think Daz is physically (and possibly even skillfully) up to this standard. What about the guys in the 19s etc - Slane, McHugh, Archdeacon - must be worth a try MON RA DOSSERS

I wouldn't sack MMG but as I said before, he needs to pull a good few fingers out of arses and get them playing (ON THE FECKIN DECK ) and at least show a degree of confidence - we lose the first goal in a game and we're seriosly toiling - fact ! Get sleeves rolled up MMG and get this sorted NOW MON RA DOSSERS

I was thinking about last years run in to Xmas as well as I left Hamilton And have to say I pretty much agree with WellArmy - Buzz had a good save as Offiong bore down on him in the 1st, and the two goals apart was a spectator Accies were dreadful and until their first goal, although not setting the heather on fire, I reckoned we looked the more likely - but we simply implode when we need defenders to be strong - after the goal we were very poor, and as bad as they were, they, like Killie on Monday, defend much better than we do, and they took 2 of their few chances. I assume MMG gives out the instruction to hit Porter & Sutton early - this is driving me feckin potty - they win very few high balls and the midfield never sem to be near the clearing header - think I'll go to bed just now and at least I can dream of last season MON RA DOSSERS

Is he likely to back as a regular for the Locos game, and if so, can he arrange for me to assist with the Radio Scotland commentary team from Inverurie MON RA DOSSERS

Give it a go Leeann and let me know how you get on - I've been trying for the past hour and get the voicemail on option 2 each time MON RA DOSSERS

As I left FP on Monday night, I thought no way for Saturday - woke up on Tuesday and the change of mind began - I'm actually looking forward to it now, if I make it. You can tell a lot about a club when things are rough - those of us who intend going, make a racket and get right behing the guys MON RA DOSSERS

PM'd you back - thanks for the nod but I need the two (1 child) - there may be the offer of someone going to FP for me. What about Richie - notice he's looking for one (?) Thanks again though MON RA DOSSERS

And back to what someone asked earlier - when do the tickets stop going on sale ? No anwer to call to office this afternoon and no return call to my message left on their voicemail soooooo frustrating And what's the chances of pay at the gate if the take up continues to be poor - hope so or it looks like I'm goosed MON RA DOSSERS

Sorry - but without a shadow of a doubt, I'll be renewing - Boyle's far from perfect, and he's got it well off the mark with our treatment re the Squirm, but I believe we could be hell of a worse off with someone else - I don't doubt he has the club at heart and I'd rather have someone like that running my club, than someone else who'd sticks and leave us in shite if the going got bad for them. Not the populist view maybe, but the poll kind of prompted it. MON RA DOSSERS

The number of folk who almost burst a gut when giving abuse beggers belief - if the same energy was transferred to backing the team for at least the majority of the game, there may be a fairly good atmosphere. Unfortunately, it's not going to change MON RA DOSSERS

Ditto Unless the ticket office is open late tomorrow night, I'm goosed as the wee fella has footie early Saturday, so that's not an option though I don't have a problem with the numbers sold being listed - if it was ever close to allocation, it would help me decide whether to hassle through or not MON RA DOSSERS

Another Well great goes to join his team mates above - never saw the guy playing but is one of many who my Dad used to talk about with fondness, and for his part in the team that won our 1st Scottish Cup in '52 RIP Charlie

I hear what many are saying about a clear out last summer, but why would that have happened ? We generally played our best football for many years and finished 3rd in the league - where MMG, and possibly the Board, let themselves down big time, was in not strengthing the squad with quality additional players, to basically say to the squad 'ok you did brilliantly, but that's only the start' - stating the obvious and what we've all suspected, but our squad is way too bare, as was shown when Las was played at right back - hopefully Saunders will be pushing Coach for his place. We badly need players who aren't happy being subs and will be bursting a gut to prove they are better than the guy in their position - as for O'Brien, I'll make a judgement on the guy when I see him start a game, rather than being introduced when we're progressively losing the plot. As I've said already, this is when the management team have to stand up and show the players their strength, and get the belief going that they are good enough, individually and collectively. MON RA DOSSERS

Pretty much agree with Gaag earlier - we win a few games and we're perceived (by ourselves) as world beaters, but go through a tough spell, and everyone from the chairman to the backroom staff have to go. I enjoyed last year immensely, and this season, at this stage, the other extreme applies - I don't enjoy seeing my team struggle, and as much as I don't agree with some of MMG's decisions (last night's subbbies for starters) no way do I want him punted. what does that achieve ? New manager brought in, who may struggle and the calls are for him to be heaved in the summer !! We have (I believe) a good manager who has to roll up his sleeves and get confidence and belief back in the team, statring today for Saturday - a win at Accies is as good a place to start as any. I left FP last night (5 mins early which is unusual for me) but i still believe we can turn things around - got a feeling Saturday's attendance will be hugely affected by our form, and the fact it's on the telly, but starting to get notions of going - time'll tell MON RA DOSSERS

Thought they did well last night, keeping going when all around were losing it. Maybe one of these games, we'll all (myself included) do more to try and lift the team - though not easy with my head in my hands for the last 10 mins or so MON RA DOSSERS

Clocked these at the weekend when checking out the shop on-line - definitely fancied the larger pic taken just before kick off but it was stated that they were out of stock - the two smaller sizes were available MON RA DOSSERS
