Not 100% convinced of the final part of your post but agree with everything else. Very much like the Kenny Miller management experiment, let's hope we bounce back in a similar way to then.

Yeah this has all the hallmarks of a clown car relegation season.

Looking very assured. Presumably this was the player we were looking for when he signed.

By far the most entertaining game this season - unsurprising given we're playing on God's green plastic. Will be surprised if Accies don't score in this one so I think we will need another. Don't know what's happening with Bartley, he has not been on it again today.

Holt seemed to suggest Stokes was still short of fitness.

After kind sponsorship by Hope C.B.D, kick-off has been delayed to 4:20 for leg 1 of el Plastico. Home win.

Jack Hamilton out on loan to East Fife.

It was as clear a yellow card as you'll see.

Souda has more to offer than a lot of the players on the bench, based on what I've seen. Would be a shame if he is out the picture.

Jack Hamilton due to be sent out on loan according to the Sun. Morton keen to take him apparently.

Potential concussion from the Forrest elbow?

Get it up Kettlewell. A horrible team full of dirty b*****ds. Good performance from us but we clearly should have won by more than one goal. Looked ok at the back but better teams may punish us. Need to take advantage of more of our chances. Lokotsch grew into the game, I was impressed by the end. Guthrie probably man of the match for the goal. Forrest, Holt and Devlin did well as well. Edit - Forgot Ambrose. Would have had him man of the match if Guthrie hadn't scored.

Don't think it's a massive surprise but there appears to be an add-on attached to Dykes getting a cap. Fingers crossed Clarke plays him against Israel.

They fail to mention the goals that Stryjek should have done better with in the friendlies. No idea what McCrorie has done to deserve such ire aside from the obvious mistake in an away game against Hamilton WHICH WE WON. Has won us a lot more points than he has lost us (St. Johnstone at Home, Hibs away). Stryjek did well against Rangers with the very little he had to deal with. He will be close to getting another opportunity if McCrorie plays poorly. Against Aberdeen McCrorie did well and kept us in the game. The guy still deserves to start.

Hence why it would have been helpful to see a replay on Sportscene.

Will assume the best and that was due to not having a camera angle rather than not giving a f**k. I was very surprised with how little time they dedicated to both Sunday games.

Difficult for me to judge communication as I have watched on mute for most of the games so far due to the sync issues. Don't think it's a crazy point to make though. I base my optimism on his ability to make good saves (shown a few times) and the reputation from the Championship fans. Decision for the management team to make if they share your view. Agree with your second point. I think if they hadn't have scored so early, he'd have been subbed off. It was already too late after that. I am increasingly concerned about his ability to close down crosses from the wing. As an aside on full backs, I hope Serrano proves me wrong but I wasn't particularly impressed on first viewing. He looked slow and awkward then almost got himself sent off with a stupid challenge (should have been booked for the challenge). ATS should be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Agree with this. I feel like if Stokes had been where Robinson was in the first half or Tiffoney was in the second, we would have got a point. Nonetheless, the defending for both goals was awful. How does no one get to the cross (terrible closing down from Devlin) before it gets to the back post? Don't think Bartley and Guthrie covered themselves in glory here. Also think both of them were crap for the second. You can blame Fitzwater for running out but Guthrie loses his man and Bartley isn't closing down quick enough. Both players apparently had knocks going into today, it may have been better to leave them out. Edit: Devlin is leaving a huuuuuge gap between himself and Fitzwater as well. Also think Fitzwater deserves great credit for pulling some skill out his arse when we looked very beaten at 2-0. He at least gave us a chance in the last 25 minutes. McCrorie also one of our better performers after some unfair criticism. Deserves to keep his shirt for now.

Imagine coming into a thread to troll then running off after making an arse of yourself again. And on a week where your club benefit to the tune of £200k from us. I worry for him.

£3k and awareness raised for a charity helping kids with long-term illnesses. Really embarrassing.

Don't disagree that Sibbald was lucky to stay on the pitch. It was the blowing for soft/non fouls all the time that enraged me.

Fair play to Mr. X for eventually returning after being laughed at for not realising the Gary Maley twitter poll was a joke. Hadn't heard from him in a while.

Steven McLean is an utter c**t. Clownshoes defending for the second goal was so bad that we didn't deserve anything from the game.
