Strange game yesterday in that I actually thought for the most part we were the better team, despite losing 3-0, bizarre! Clearly our defending was poor in moments, SOD in particular, although not exclusively!

Midfield looked much better with Miller & Slattery in there. Toothless up front with Watt and Armstrong doing a similar job but neither looking like they’ll get us the goals to keep us up.
 

Desperately in need of some energy and pace in the team, was amazed Maswanhise wasnt brought on at HT. 

For the next couple I can’t help but feel that bringing in Casey, Paton and Maswanhise for the old guard of SOD, Halliday & Watt (who can’t play at the weekend anyway) would make us tougher to beat and give us more energy and pace. Praying we’ll have just enough to finished 10th but it’s going to be very tight I fear.

Looking at our squad on the official site to try and gauge who we are missing, and came across Ward. Forgot all about his signing.

Given how poor the goalie was yesterday, perhaps Ward should get a chance. Whilst I dont want anybody to lose their job, it might be good for a new goalkeeper coach.

To be honest I don't think the goalkeeping coach would be telling Balcombe to parry every shot.  I do have fear if he is going to be keeper for rest of season

If the new manager was watching Balcombe yesterday, he would be mad not to start Ward at the next match.

I took my mum to see the game yesterday - hospitality. The wine took the edge of the result (not really, I was gutted). 

I was out with my wee brother today and he said he thought we were the better team for the first 20 minutes before it all collapsed. He also said he didn't think the tactics were particularly Kettlewell esque and thought Frail did try and change things up 

The only bright spot was having a very nice view of the very lovely Slattery as he was being subbed off 🤣

Was talking to a Dundee supporting friend today. They also lost 3-0 to County in much the same way. They had about 65% possession but couldn't penetrate the Staggies' penalty box. Their worst performance of their season to that point. County had about 3 times their amount of shots on goal.
