Crawford to park the bus and achieve a respectable 2-0 defeat here.

Football clubs will have bad results, ours was the Morton game at home. On the whole, we’ve been quite good defensively apart from the Dundee game. As DA Baracus has pointed out we seem to be on one of those Crawford runs, however because we’ve been decent at the back we are drawing games we would have usually lost. Thankfully this has kept us in the race for second place so we have time to fix our issue. Our deficiencies are in attack, more specifically creating chances from open play. I find our attacking play tedious and boring to watch, I noticed this at the start of the season however because we scored a good number of goals from set pieces this papered over the cracks. Now that the set-piece goals have dried up it’s glaringly obvious where we suffer as a team. We do not create enough chances in 90 minutes, we seem scared to test the opposition keeper and most of the time we fail to get ourselves in the position to do so. The last game I enjoyed watching was the Hearts game as that was a complete team performance, and that was back in November. The last 15 minutes of the 3-3 Dundee game are a benchmark for what this team are capable of in an attacking sense, although we had to be 3-0 down to show it. Is it a lack of ambition from Crawford, does he treat the opposition with too much respect? Whatever the issue, I’m bored watching Dunfermline at the moment. However, I’ll continue to do so in the hope that Crawford realises in order to win games of football you need to create chances as they lead to goals, which in turn provides a bit of entertainment for those watching.

If Crawford needs some inspiration for an entertaining and well-organised team then look east.

He can’t blame Don Robertson as he is at EEP today.

Another boring, lacklustre performance under Crawford.

Fair enough. As I said, I’ll be delighted if we finish in a play-off place this season. I don’t believe our performances have merited the results we have, however we have managed to get the results. Today was another unconvincing performance, saved by O’Hara. The Raith game will be interesting.

No, I didn’t. I’ve been there for all of the games this season. I see nothing to suggest he is the man to the us forward. If we manage to finish in a play-off place this season I’ll be delighted.

Crawford isn’t the manager to take us forward, we were hopeless today and managed to fluke a result. I’ve no idea where we will finish at the end of the season but I’ve not been convinced with our performances overall this season.

No he wasn’t, he was average today.

Lol

It’s actually embarrassing how we haven’t scored there.

There was an issue with the registration process, the fix seems to be to request a new password.

He's not asking for a refund though, he's highlighting the potential issue of people asking for one.

Guaranteed to come out for the second half with the same 11 on the pitch.

Jordan and Martin are our best left backs since Woods. We robbed Bradford for Longridge, he was fine and that was about it.

I'm expecting Crawford to roll out the props for the next photo. He can't top that one with Fon Williams without appearing in the next one wearing a track-suit complete with top hat and monocle.

Naismith has been excellent since he’s been moved into midfield, he’s been everywhere.

Did this rumour start because he was the hospitality speaker on Saturday?

Good to see he his role involves hidden things, that's helpful: "Jackie is more there for the hidden stuff that people don`t see, things you have to deal with from a managerial point of view. "

Stephen Jordan and Danny Grainger are are far better than the left backs on that list.

I like St Johnstone, a well run football club who we should be aspiring to emulate.

I’m all for us punting Crawford and appointing a proper manager tbh, just open it up to applicants this time and see who applies.

I can’t see Crawford surviving defeats to Ayr and United, which are likely. And if we do end up punting him then I would like us to actually open the job up to applicants this time rather than employing internally, the process last time was far too quick for it to have been thought out correctly.
