Does mcglynn not combine both styles? I get the feeling people are snobbish about him in the same way Celtic and Rangers fans think every player they sign from anyone in Scotland is not good enough.

I've noticed you doing this parallel chat a few times - it's a reference to how fickle scots club are at chasing their managers. The in-game management from our manager lost us the game tonight. I think you should focus on that, and not what every other teams forums are shouting about.

I would hope the manager would be able to get a message out to control the situation. I know it doesn't work in every instance - but it would have been better than the control we lost by the substitution.

AJ's in-game management is extremely poor. We don't need to give up our mantra, we simply need to get a better version of what we have.

AJ can jog on as well! Happy exercise Grizzly!

As per @star sail words O'Donnell is a very experienced former International player getting paid a very reasonable wage to be a professional football player. To bring him on for the last 10 in his natural position to provide stability, freshness, respite to tired players is perfectly reasonable and legitimate. You cannot preempt the mistake that follows.

In any which we play - great, poor - in Scotland if you can't defend the area, you are relegation material. Couple of months until we can shore this up.

I wonder if we will all have the same amount of patience when we are playing Hamilton away after our first ever relegation from the SPL.

I think we did fine enough today performance wise but the reason I thought we would get beat today was devilment. Hearts are one of the worst team to play in these conditions because they can score with a header out of not much and that was going to make all the difference today.

I would say many would have forecasted an O’Donnell mistake. Will go the same was as Halliday soon and into permanent broadcasting.

Team! Connolly Koutroumbis Knight Lebel Moorman Longelo McGhee Hodge Fadinger Lowry Said Palmer Houlden A little bit more dig in that team, with further defensive midfield cover, a little bit more height as well. I've put Connolly in goals to present the team with a bit more of a Ward like figure, to replicate what we were doing last year.

Any dissenting voices calling for a change of management (including mine) could be proven wrong with a change of fortunes and I'll be the first to admit I was wrong and won't avoid putting my hands up! So that's the gamble here on your comment "I told you so" It only is correct if the situation gets worse and in time we suffer more losses and we should have acted faster to avoid a possible relegation.

I think if the board doesn't press the button soon we are condeming ourselves even further into the mire. The brave decision is the one to bin the manager. I don't expect any manager to take a team that finished 4th and end up 12th. That's not a far reaching expectation. We've lost five in a row. We will lose again next week and eventually the more we lean on listening to those that defend Johansen the more that will lead us all the way to playing Ross County and Hamilton next season. It's actually the gutless decision I think to do nothing. Kettlewell was far too long.

You know me grizzly would never fight with you and it’s all opinion driven. I think we might be repeating ourselves with the next week is all important though. What we all wanted to see, was that today was the day. Got to look at hearts midweek Pace, dynamism and bite. I fear for us.

He shouldn’t be given any longer. Said it last week. Sure there will be a six paragraph post explaining why I’m wrong again this week
