Cheers.

Is there a link to the highlights?

It feels wrong to criticise Reid because he seems like an honest pro and never hides but he shouldn't be at Fir Park. He was a signed as a stop gap, did well and instead of being sent on his way and thanked for his efforts he got a two year. He's a guy who at best is going to be solid when we should really be looking to bring on players.

We're pish on grass as well. It's the players not the surface.

Nah it just means we won't win the league until the season after next.

That's us played 23 games this season and we have been second best in every single one of them. Quite an achievement.

The buck stops with Mccall. In summer 2013 he had the chance to rebuild the squad but instead of putting in some work to find us players he took easy option for every signing and pissed about with Sheffield United, Scotland and Florida for five weeks when we needed a manager in Fir Park more than ever. We worked our way up after coming out of admin and a Walter Smith disciple pissed it all up against a wall.

It all comes down to the fact that Mccall left us with the worst squad in the modern era and ruined years of improvement. Him and his brother fat Sally are two of the most clueless cunts ever to stand in a dug out.

Cummins hasn't played for us this season.

I think you need to stop watching so much Dragon's Den and start paying a bit more attention to what is going on at Fir Park and Scottish football in general. The club is having to borrow money from the Society to pay it's running costs and you think they are going to find a quarter of a million quid just so Gunnar, Boab and Cummins aren't hanging around for a few more months? We are paying the price for McCall's bad decisions in the transfer market and the lesson should be that every player and contract should be scrutinised by people other than the manager to make sure they fit in with the long term direction the board wants the club to move in. It's clear to me that in summer 2013 McCall wanted a team who could deliver short term success and get himself a quick move, it has backfired badly and we need to learn some lessons from the fiasco.

We had 38% possession on Saturday. I think we're a long way off describing ourselves as a possession football team.

What you are missing here Lord Sugar is that it would take large lump sums to get rid of our diddies and minor miracles to find clubs that want them.

If Ojamaa can only play for us or Legia for the rest of the season we should be able to keep him here as he is clearly unwanted there. I'd send O'brien back to Derby and look for a centremid on loan. Beyond that I doubt we can afford to do much until the great 'don't let the door hit your arse on the way out' exodus in the summer.

It seems pretty clear he doesn't have a future a Legia so we look to be in a strong position to sign him for the rest of the season. His attitude was shite yesterday, marking your man isn't rocket science he just wasn't interested.

Nail on the head. Every time he's on the park he looks dangerous, the composure to finish things will come with experience. I can see him being like McCulloch and McDonald who were both extremely rough when they came into the team but when they got a bit of confidence and figured out how to make an impact through experience were brilliant for us and brought in big fees.

He's here because he's making good money. He's been ruined by too many friendlies and reserve/U20 games imo.

Has to be a defender. McManus for me, today was what he should be delivering every week.

Criticising Erwin is out of order. Every time he comes on he shows flashes of potential, last week he put a great ball into Sutton, this week he worked himself into a 1 on 1. Even if things aren't ending up in goals for him he's troubling opposition defences and when he has more appearances through the middle he'll improve. The second half performance overall was an absolute shocker. It was similar to the Dundee United cup game in that we ran out of steam near the end of the first half but Thistle didn't have the quality to punish us. If we can get a player in this window it has to be a centre mid to play beside Keith (who is looking a lot fitter than he was earlier in the season). The only real positive from today was the dedication of the defending in the second half, the starting back 4, Kerr, Lasley and Ramsden didn't shirk anything and even Lionel made an effort. The downsides today were leaving O'Brien on when he was concussed which is a poor show, he was in a bad place when he got subbed off. Ojamaa was clearly in the huff about something as well.

There were plenty of seats the last time we played there on New Year's day. A terrible game but at least it was the last we saw of Alan Gow.

I'd like to see the 11 players who started the second half line up against Thistle. Get Ainsworth back on the right and Erwin and Ojamaa can alternate on the left. Despite the good result on Saturday we were still brutal so we don't have much to lose from going on the attack from the off. Hopefully it will be an open game.

it's one thing for the manager to want to play the ball out from the back but we'll need the players to do it and to be ready for teams to press us high up the park. Barraclough will need to show more flexibility than Gannon. When we had Hateley and Hammell as full backs they were technically better than most opposition midfielders which gave us a lot of options in possession. We aren't going to be able to knock the ball around unless we have fullbacks who can take the ball under pressure and find a pass.

We were pish but we'll take the points. They've robbed us enough times.

We are far too far away to judge their goal but the fact that it hit the bar twice makes me think it wasn't over. The red card was a stick, an assault.

This is terrible. The two fullbacks don't have a clue.

We had one good game at home to Dundee United and by most reports have been poor in the rest of them. Today is a big test for our squad. If they don't put in a performance today they will have to face up to some sore truths.
