I agree with all of this. Feels like the Robinson and Craigan appointments had a wee hint of foresight about them. If he loses tonight he ought to be shown the door just as McCall should have been after Albion.

This.

And Taylor keeps his place

Exactly. Anyone would think he'd fucked a pig or something

I believe he might have been cRaP

That's actually sad to hear

What happened to the pressing game Bara promised we would play? Is Lasley too slow for it?

Is the lad McMillan any relation to Studs?

Hopefully Cadden is starting to chap on the first team door

Skippy and Marv both missed huge swathes of pre-season. Maybe lack of that foundation of fitness is figuring into their form?

You know exactly the point I'm making.

Folk simply didn't want him in the job in the first place as the majority wanted Van Der Gaga. He's been up against that from day one. Despite that, it's up to him to get results from HIS team and there's no denying this is a disappointing start to the season, amplified by the marvelous playoff win

Surely says more about having to pay 22 quid to get in?

Shoogly peg.

Not entirely certain why he was signed in the first place. Think he's only here cos no one else came in for him

Not sure I'd have Thomas on from the start to be honest. Maybe best being given 30 mins every week rather than heaping pressure on him to deliver from the off?

Taylor smacks of a panic buy

Seems like this would be the sort of area where a respected, experienced player - say, a captain, for instance - should sit the boy down and tell him a few home truths. Sadly, we don't have that sort of leadership at the club.

??? Twitter feed has already mentioned that Accies will get back to them closer to the time regarding PATG being available or not

Only way Bara gets it together is if he bins that 4-2-3-1 formation or whatever the hell it is. Fuck fashion.

Ripley Law Laing Kennedy Chalmers Ainsworth Grimshaw Leitch Taylor Moult Robinson Fat fucking chance though

Baffling signing unless some sort of mutual consent bumping of Twardzik is about to happen. Clarkson has also been a baffling signing. MacDonald I wouldn't have signed either. Those aside, and maybe Taylor (surely he'll come good? Surely?!) I'm fine with his signings. I actually think we'd be a better team without the experienced core of McManus, Hammell, Lasley and Skippy.

McManus has been a hugely disappointing signing. Was expecting a commanding, dominant centre half and a real leader but it seems he is none of those things. I'd bump him out the team

I suppose in a way it is quite telling that fans are moaning about the performances even when we get results - last season you were moaning about the performances AND results.
