Just relegate us now, and I mean directly to the lowland league. What a circus of a club.

Can’t believe anyone is seriously suggesting Duffy. Are we wanting a return to the halcyon days of John sweeney and Pat scullion. Absolute dinosaur.

Would rather see us go for a young up and coming manager rather than one of the usual dinosaurs that get trotted out for every job. Maybe a manager from the lowland or even wos leagues that has had success and hungry to progress in the game.

At least at Broadwood we were only behind a boys team and a BMX competition…

Having watched the highlights the first goal we conceded is very disappointing. Euan Cameron could have booted the ball up the park but loses it cheaply and Lyon absolutely done at RB. And it takes a couple of unlucky deflections in the build up too. As I thought at the time, there is f**k all wrong with Peter Grants goal, to see a foul on the keeper there is a joke. Kennedys first booking is a farce, but the second was stupid, the boy was going nowhere. Still not convinced Cunningham was offside when played through. Nothing wrong with the alloa winner, just incredibly disappointing to lose a goal (and the game) with virtually the last kick.

Reckon we are going with Moore for the foreseeable unless something gives with the Danny situation.

Can’t quite believe we managed to lose that today. Felt we were the better team for long spells and rarely under pressure from alloa. Kurtis Roberts played really well when used in his proper position centrally for once. The standard of officials was terrible throughout, almost laughably one sided. We had half a dozen bookings which eventually (unsurprisingly) led to a red when there wasn’t a bad tackle in the game. You are allowed to challenge a goal keeper in the air from a corner, somebody needs to let the ref know. Peter grant had a goal ruled out for nothing I could see, Ross Cunningham given offside when slipped through and still trying to get past the defence. A collection of baffling and frustrating decisions. Felt most of the players were playing for the jersey today and that’s all we can realistically expect, it’s not their fault that the squad is inbalanced and some players just aren’t good enough. That’s down to the recruitment. Giving certain players abuse from the sidelines isn’t going to make them any less shite I’m afraid. Finally, fair play to Peter grant for acknowledging the fans at the end and trying to encourage his team mates to do the same. We are on a horrendous run but hopefully if we keep playing like today we can pick something up soon. Our season is now basically a head to head with Peterhead for 9th and a chance to stay up via the playoffs.

Surely questions need to be asked about that new 2 year deal he was given in April this year. What was that based on? We were on a run of 2 wins in 14 games when DL signed his new deal. We had literally just been spanked 3-0 at home off Peterhead. We only managed 3 wins in the full league season that weren’t against Alloa or East Fife. We are now left in a position where we are paying him for nothing for (potentially) the next 18 months. The decision making at board level is consistently terrible at this club.

Be interesting to see if there is any discernible difference under Moore. He’s been an integral part of the recent train wreck surely?

Anything other than a defeat would be a pleasant and unexpected surprise.

Fraser Mullen, he’s looked decent tonight. But 6 years at a consistently dreadful Cowdenbeath side before signing for pollock. [emoji848] He wouldn’t be any worse than Lyon, that’s for sure.

At least losing to them won’t be as embarrassing as a dunipace or drumchapel (or Clydebank for that matter).

‘You’ will get relegated, wee slip of the mask there mate. Now f**k off and stop clogging up OUR thread with your pish.

Aye, cause it’s all looking so rosy at the minute.

This could be the most ‘must win’ game of all time.

The first goal you’ve got to look at Gomis losing the ball but that was well into the Dunfermline half, they broke on us far too easily after that. The second goal was a poor header by Parry but wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t have everybody up in their box looking for an equaliser.

That’s got nothing to do with your point on budgets though does it? Clearly our lowly budget is not being best utilised is the point. For example we have 4 experienced cbs when 2 would do plus a couple of younger lads/cheaper options. We have no full backs worth the name. We have very limited options in wide areas of midfield. What summer signings have actually been a success? Ray Grant for sure, jordan Allan probably, duthie looked good before we lost him. McLean is steady enough. It’s not exactly been a resounding success though.

Arbroath had arguably the smallest budget in the championship last season and finished second. Surely you can find a couple of bog standard league one full backs on our budget. If not getting rid of the 3 or 4 shite ones would free up some cash.

You have no doubt he will start getting results? We’ve won 5 out of 29 league games in 2022, when will we be seeing these results? He is also clearly incapable of building a properly balanced squad given he hasn’t managed to sign a full back worthy of the name in all our time in league one. I don’t care what he achieved with st mirren a decade ago, I’m judging him on the here and now and finding him woefully short.

Difficult to say of course but he carried the ball forward extremely well that day and the left hand side has been a real problem since with us having absolutely no similar styled replacement. We’ve tried various players including Kurtis Roberts and Gomis there with disappointing results. We are three or four players short of an even close to functioning team and duthie will not have to wait long to reclaim his place on return to fitness.

8 defeats on the bounce and we are tweeting about buying hospitality and tickets to Elgin. Haud me back…

We don’t need any more old heads, what we need is two fullbacks, at least one centre back who can run, some presence in midfield and a striker that can win headers and hold the ball up.

Get Lennon to f**k. He’s just done saying the back 3 didn’t work and holding his hands up for it and we play it again tonight. Thicot and Lyon are absolutely shite, get them binned. Gomis dreadful tonight too and should have been hooked after about 30mins. Dunfermline bigger, stronger and faster than us all over the park. Constantly pumping high balls at Allan with which he had no chance against their defence.

What about Stuart Kettlewell as a shout for manager. A former player and did reasonably well in his stint as gaffer at Ross County. To be honest it needs a fresh pair of eyes and at this point I’m not sure it could get much worse.

We’ve only managed 5 wins in 28 league games this calendar year so far. Dreadful.
