Of the names mentioned here, I'd be happy with McPake or Bullen. Both have shown the ability to turn around team and a club drifting in the wrong direction. Goodwin and Ross best work has been at clubs where the club is generally on the up. Well, that's my perception anyway...

If a team gets an extra sub due to a concussion, the opposition automatically get the extra sub as well..

I just noticed that myself...

Against an Aberdeen team that must be low on confidence, one shot in the first 45 minutes? After the St Johnstone game where against a team that had lost seven in a row, we had one shot on target in the full game. Not good enough...

Dundee United winning...

I reckon it's 352 hence no wingers. There's no way he watched that game on Wednesday and thought Crankshaw was one of the problems..

352 with McGinn and O'Donnell in the back three is my guess... Hence the lack of wingers...

I'm assuming there are no defensive midfielders in the League of Ireland...

If we're going down (and we are), I'd rather we went down swinging with players that look like they give a damn. As such team for Saturday should look something like Oxborough Johnston McGinn Lamie Furlong Miller Cornelius Crankshaw Tierney/Danzaki McKinstry Aitchison Defence I've left as I don't know the younger options there.. If Blaney is fit, temptation is to play him alongside McGinn. If nothing else, tthis would give us a chance to see who might cut it in a promotion push next season. Certainly the players listed are more likely to get tore in about the opposition. Which would be a start...

I have a funny feeling that we'll be looking for free agents tomorrow morning...

I know we probably never get our 'number one' target but a concern for me is the number of players we've 'just missed out on' in this window (as indicated by Hammell today). For such a huge window, you would have hoped that the club would have pushed the boat out just a wee bit more...

Given we need a left back, a defensive midfielder and probably now a centre back, is two enough?

Surely not..

Or maybe that was always the level he was destined to play at..?

The question is how much you trust Daws and Hammell to invest this £200k wisely..?

Was the theory not that it would save us money in the long run by reducing maintenance costs for the pitch..?

Interesting. As someone said in another thread, is this a year with no season ticket income coming back to bite us? I would ask is this two CBs on top of the one we've already signed or two including Blaney? If finances are that precarious then it is a difficult decision for the board. Do you gamble now on the basis that relegation would make things even worse? But sadly throwing money at it won't guarantee staying up so it really would be a gamble. Glad it's not me making the decision...

Have already brought in one CB this window and I'm not convinced he's any better than what we already had. Are you expecting another two?

Noticed this on twitter earlier. Interesting that it comes from a journo covering Norwegian football rather than a Scottish source.. EDIT Just beaten to it..

One shot on target in 90 mins vs St Mirren. Time for the manager to go...

I know conditions weren't great but based on last Saturday, McGinn will not do a job at left back. Either play O'Donnell there as he's looked more comfortable than McGinn did or sign a left back. If Hammell thinks McGinn at left back will do, he should get his jotters... If we are to do more business this month then the priorities should be • A left back • A defensive midfielder Any talk of another central defender is wishful thinking...

As fascinating as this is (and I hate to be that guy) is this not the Ins & Outs thread? Unless we're signing someone from Darvel...?

Who's the one more 'definitely' in the pipeline?

Cue Jordan White masterclass...

Ooooooh, ya tease..
