Absolutely Yabba - I thought the back four looked good today (Law's header back apart), and and played pretty much as a unit, and the midfield battled and worked their collective asses off - the two up front also breathed a new sense of life into attack. Would expect to see the same team start next week, only issue being who to replace Ramsden - he does tend to get the red mist in a tackle, but I thought he played well today. Whoever plays against Killie, today set the standard that has to be maintained to keep us up. MON RA DOSSERS

The Bigot Bros can't, and never will, accept that if you don't support their side, you must belong to the other half of their depravity. I'd quite happily live with a Scottish game devoid of any of the two of them, but until that happens, I'll live with more than a degree of satisfaction when we upset their expectations. As for Skippy Sunday, I only made the last 30 mins of the game due to being the dutiful parent, but what a 30 mins - only glad that I made it to witness it in person. And just for the record, hope I'm there if the it becomes the turn of their Bros MON RA DOSSERS

Cracking article from an ex player who still has Well at heart ! wonder if he fancies a game today MON RA DOSSERS

By and large, you guys deserve immense credit for bringing much needed atmosphere back in these days of seating stadia. Yep, watching us so far this season hasn't been overly enjoyable, but on most occasions, you're there at least trying to get everyone behind the team. there's a few of around the middle of the East stand who aren't averse at joining in the singing, but the stronger the Bois section of the stand the better. I've got no doubt the more noise and buzz you generate, the more infectious it becomes, even the Cooper have been known to get the chanting going. I can't believe I'm alone in these thoughts, and well understand why the players get a kick from it as well. Maybe it's down to not seeing the team the past couple of games, maybe the introduction of new faces, who knows, but I actually woke this morning with a buzz about today. Feeling it may be the same around 5 pm. Will look for a point to donate something before the game, MON RA DOSSERS

Journey to work this morning with the missus in the car went something along the lines of How did the game end then ? We got trumped 4-0 .... again ! Yer Kiddin' .... How long has the manager been there ? A month to 2 months, but I reckon it'll be next season before we really make a judgement on the guy. But surely his first job would be to stop all the goals your losing ! Don't you just hate it when you don't have a come back MON RA DOSSERS

Might not be a bad shout - Ferguson acquitted himself well, and maybe McManus could help him along in the middle of defence, especially if the lad is no stranger to the position. I thought Law had a right good game 2nd half on Saturday, so again, if he knows the position, surely it stands to reason to have him in there. I like big Sutton, but we just aren't creating enough chances for him to get on the end off, so agree Erwin will potentially give us more at the moment - don't understand why Ainsworth isn't starting as is. MON RA DOSSERS

Pretty much agree with this - I like big Sutton but the lad just hasn't been giving us a good enough option this year, and we aren't making anywhere near enough chances to have a penalty box player - hopefully if we hit a few results he'll get his chance again. The word of warning about the setup though is the 3 behind Erwin would have to work their arses off going back as well as forward. I'm going to be travelling up north on Friday evening, so won't have the opportunity to watch it - will probably dip in and out of the radio, but I find listening to Well games a torture, especially if we happen to be in the lead - could well be checking teletext through the fingers by the time we arrive MON RA DOSSERS

Pretty much says it all MON RA DOSSERS

I like big Sutton, but he's been poor for some time now and is giving us absolute feck all. And don't get me started on Zaine MON RA DOSSERS

I really do wonder if Ainsworth has an injury issue we don't know about, he's hardly turned up in any game I've seen him this season, though in fairness to him he's hardly alone. Wasn't there midweek but last Saturday and today we've been passed off the park. Was happy Erwin started but why on earth did he appear to be playing a more midfield role with Sutton apparently on his own up front: Sutton's not been shining but dear god, the majority of balls hit to him are in the air. Until we get to a stage where we pass the ball up the park, through midfield and on the deck, the way other teams seem to be instructed to play, I see nothing but a long season ahead. Winning is what we all want, but at what cost - I actually would be more encouraged getting beaten if we were showing a degree of skill and endeavor. I do accept that we're missing important players, but today's performance was absolutely woeful. Walking back to the car, god forbid, but I kept thinking of Hibs last year. On a slightly more positive note, we didn't show a lot of promise at the start of last season, and still came good, but at the moment, it seems like a lifetime ago MON RA DOSSERS

FFS, hope no one at the club reads these forums then MON RA DOSSERS

Fair post Grew, although I probably sit on the side of the fence that would say we give SMc more time - I am of the opinion that he has done a great job, in the main, in his time here, with the funding structure available to him, but I wouldn't hide the fact that some of our cup performances, and that's any cup competition, have left a lot to be desired. IMO SMC needs to be braver, both with tactics, and also with personnel - it's seriously frustrating watching us in control of games only to switch off or see subs come on to try and hold a result, and if the young ones are knocking at the door, give them their chance I liked Terry Butcher's reign at FP and was sad to see him go, but possibly with hindsight, he took us as far as he could, and we needed a new spark to take another step on - time'll tell with regards to SMc Like a few on here, I've seen many a low, as well as highs, in my near 50 years a dosser, but anyone who thinks I shrug last night off and move on, is sadly mistaken - maybe I get too involved, or take this footie lark too seriously, but the likes of last night and last week do still get to me I sincerely hope the team prove the majority wrong and do the business in the league, but again, only time will tell. MON RA DOSSERS

FFS - when the feck is McC going to realise we can't defend ! Almost exactly the same subs as last week and guess what, we lose another late goal MON RA DOSSERS

Pretty much spot on and still giving it as I continue to meet the few Dandies at work MON RA DOSSERS

Nah We did it for them MON RA DOSSERS

So it turned out that Fud McInnes was right in his after match comments after all - arsehole of a ref got it wrong and should have awarded a penalty !! Just as well justice was done. And Mr McInnes GIRUY Not celebrated a goal like that in a long time, and final whistle celebrations were outstanding - well done the Well Bois and the fans in general - on the odd occasion the Sheep did muster up a bit of noise, not a beat was missed and they sang from start to finish Great day and well worth the journey MON RA DOSSERS

Don't know if it was save of the season, but it was a fantastic stop and every bit as important as the 5 goals that followed it in winning the game - if memory serves me right, had that gone in, we were 2 nil down - different game entirely. Gunnar's penalty save deserves much credit also for the overall result that day. Personally, on the strength of the few games he played, small as he may have looked, I'd be content to have him on board. MON RA DOSSERS

I've got a theory about never betting on the Dossers, and seeing you tip the Well falls in to that category I'm now a bag of jaggies MON RA DOSSERS

+1 Essentially nothing against Humphrey, but I feel Ainsworth is more likely to have a product at the end of what he does. If the Humph matures in the same way, I'd have him back at some stage, however unlikely it may be. MON RA DOSSERS

Now that the day's arrived, I'm looking forward to this one, but as to how it'll turn out, God only knows ! I've long since stopped trying to suss my team out, as you never really know what you're going to get, but as long as we put the effort in and compete, I'm hopeful that we'll be too strong for them, especially after their exploits on Sunday. We'll need to put the shackles on Foran though, as he still impresses me and always seems to be up for our games. Wouldn't mind seeing Leitch getting another run out, but expect to see Carswell back in - any news on Moore ? No doubt come 7.45pm, all negative thoughts will have diappeared, and I'll be giving it MON RA DOSSERS :yahoo:

Was listening in the car to Radio Scotland on Sunday, and as usual, all the pundits were creaming themselves over the Sheep and the Arabs, with some praise (rightly so) also given over to ICT - they went over to Willie Miller who was covering our game, and although I expected more of the same, he couldn't have praised the Dossers any higher, stating the club has been magnificent over the past number of seasons, as well as now, with budgets at our disposal. He did spoil it by going for a Sheep win, but I'll let him suffer in silence MON RA DOSSERS

The greatest fans in the universe will no doubt be ripping us a new arsehole right from the start, but as unlikely as it may be, if we somehow get a decent result against them, how good will be ramming it right up their hin' end ......... as they slaughter their ginger messiah I live in hope MON RA DOSSERS

Thankfully I couldn't get to the game on Saturday, so as bad as I feel about the result, I'm probably cushioned a bit in not seeing the display 1st hand. I'll be there on Friday in hope more than expectation, but it's the Well, so you just never know MON RA DOSSERS

Work with a Rovers supporting lad (that's two of them now !), and he tells me the capacity for Cliftonhill is down to 1200. Also the following from his email after I suggested it may unfortunately move to Airdrie It won't be Airdrie after their attempted extortion over theRangers game in July. Hamilton would be first choice and Livi thereafter, but it really has to be at home; here's hoping Police Scotland agree MON RA DOSSERS

Missed the 1st half as I was at the lad's game so flying up the road at HT to get the 2nd half - put on radio to see how it went in the 1st - Richard Gordon was talking the game up and our performance before asking Fud Young to join in. He fecking slaughtered the game and wasn't impressed - got the impression that even Richrd Gordon wanted to tell him he's a fud ! I can only go with what I saw in the 2nd half along with other comments, and almost all, including the Sportscene guys were commenting on it being a good game. No doubt the Fud was happier when we were 1 down, but can only imagine his despair when Ainsworth scored. For my own part, disappointed we only got a point, but there are positives to take from the game - as others have mentioned though, two very poor goals to lose, and avoidable, but beforehand, would've taken the point. Home game next week, and these are the games we have to win, so hopefully onward and upward MON RA DOSSERS
