Agreed. McCall basically made it clear that he was fine with Ainsworth only bothering his arse once every 3 games or Vigurs wandering about cluelessly every time the other team have the ball. If the manager doesn't care why should the players?

We have a load of players who will be lucky to have a club next season so the dressing room probably isn't a very happy place at the moment. It's a miracle that anyone wants Vigurs but who is going to sign Lawson, Carswell, Kerr, Neilsen, ZFA, Cummins or Ramsden? I was expecting Ainsworth to pick up in the second half of the season so he can con another club next season but he's gotten worse as has Ojamaa who doesn't seem to understand what being a professional footballer entails.

There can't be many teams who have played 27 games and not managed to be the better team in any of them.

Players need to be asked if they want to play for the club. It's clear as day Ainsworth doesn't and McManus looks to be in the same boat.

Whoever has the alias give it a rest.

If we are beaten by Ross County on the 14th of February and we are still on 21 points then we will have to consider getting a new manager.

We don't have time. We are 15 games away from relegation.

Hopefully we'll never see anything worse than the Accies home game. Twardzik Kerr McManus Ramsden ZFA Leitch Lawson Carswell Ojamaa McHugh Erwin

Our Youth Development has been very poor since Chris McCart left. It will take time - measured in years - to see if Leitch can turn things around.

Are you joking? Gannon is the only manager i've ever heard go on the radio before a league match and say we're going to get beat and he's not really bothered (before the Celtic home game where Meechan started).

We have been playing Craig Reid in centre midfield so this is a massive upgrade. The way he left was poor but hardly worth getting worked up about 10 years later.

Surely we won't sign a 5 ft 10 goalie as our first choice keeper. Surely we won't give out two year deals to injury prone defenders in their 30s. Surely we won't sign a Conference North right back and try to play him up front. There is no potential signing daft enough to rule out these days.

That doesn't stop a bit of stand flying off and hitting someone on the park though.

I'm the opposite. I was going tomorrow but i'm in Germany the Saturday it's rearranged for.

I wasn't exactly looking forward to watching two poor teams on a freezing day and it probably suits Barraclough as if he loses this one then gets the doings we are expecting at celtic park and tannadice he would be under pressure. Hopefully this will get rearranged for the scottish cup saturday in march.

Twardzik is too wee to a keeper at any decent level. What other clubs are starting sub 6ft goalies this season?

The Rangers situation and terrible cup defeats are responsible for our losses.

It's the difference between having a squad of young fit players and has been/never been unfit and injury prone guys. It underlines the importance of guys likes Hateley and Reynolds who never missed a game for years and credit should go to Lasley and Sutton who have been almost ever presents since the summer before last.

I'm sure that I read he was involved in the process of interviewing for the new manager and that he went to Barbados to meet Hutchinson so there is obviously some responsibility involved.

There's a difference between getting beat and taking an absolute pasting off a team who were in the first division last season. The same as 14 goals in 24 domestic games isn't being poor it's a complete crisis.

You must have been at different games to me. 3-1 away to killie, 3-0 away to aberdeen, 3-1 at home to hearts, 3-3 away to rangers, 6-6 with hibs, 3-0 at home to aalesunds, 4-0 at home to st johnstone, 2-0 away to hearts twice. All games where we played some great football and looked like a proper team.

We were better the two seasons before, under McGhee, in the mid 90s plus the team that won the cup. That season we finished 10 points ahead of a Ross County team who were utter pish.

He barely played under Craig. Brown and Knox were a good management team it's just a shame they were snakes.

He's surely the most senior full time employee at the club. He has to have some responsibility?

We were extremely lucky last season in a lot of games and Hutchinson is a massive loss.
