Always had a soft spot for Morton

Not been on here much lately but last night really shows up the level we’re at. I really don’t think Bowyer knows his best starting 11 or if he believes there is a best starting 11 in the squad, he’s chopped and changed all season and never found any consistency! Jury is definitely out on him, his January signings are no better than we had and in this league Byrne and McMullen start for me, also hate seeing wingers not playing on their natural sides, keep it simple ffs!
Bottom line is, this league is exciting but the standard is poor, we’re not much better than any other team in it and whoever goes up will struggle big time! End of season re-builds are never a success and your season could be over long before it begins, but as per DFC seem to be a shambles behind the scenes with 3 signed players, that doesn’t help the team and I’m sure some of them will already have deals lined up for themselves and not too worried if we win the league or not
Nelms is a problem but without his mates money we’re screwed! But hey, this is DFC, we don’t do conventional

We have a distinctly average squad and team, Morton worked hard against us tonight and that was enough to win the game. Not sure Bowyer knows his best starting 11 or too much about the opposition but he seems to have inherited the past few managers tombola

Confidence is massive in football and we seem to be hitting form at the right time. A couple of decent additions in January and despite the dodgy beginning we might just do this

Robinson ahead of Rudden for me, holds the ball up miles better, superior first touch and all round better player. Ashcroft made a difference, Cameron and Williamson played well too and French looked better at right back than centre. Falkirk looked decent, especially their front three. Wasn’t much in it first half but thought overall we deserved the win

To be fair Robinson looks half decent and French and Grayson aren’t the worst we’ve ever signed either.
WRT style. Against Arbroath, Grayson was playing in front of the back 4 and was always available, it worked. Tonight (and against Morton) him and Gowser were swapping that role but when Gowser came deep Grayson went into hiding.Not sold on French tbh. Robinson looks decent enough but Williamson is no better than anything we’ve already got. Grayson did look decent in his first game but getting the impression he could turn out to be one of those players that flatter to deceive. A couple of big physical players needed, we looked quite weak tonight against Ayr

Who does our scouting? Looking at what other teams in the league seem to find compared to our signings, whoever it is needs binned too
1 -
Back 4 need binned! Midfield shown up as weak and one paced. Hopefully Bowyer learns this league quickly or we’re struggling
0 -
Poor in defence and lack of creativity from open play was a worry. Midfield was awful and looked off the pace and inexperienced. Showed spirit but it was basic stuff from set pieces and poor decisions made life a lot harder than it needed to be. Goalkeeper position needs resolved, full backs needed too and have been for a while. New signing looked like he could be a handful and Rudden would be as well cutting off his left foot! Apart from that, Thistle deserved the win, better team for the first hour and looked pretty well organised and comfortable

Typical Scotland, media spout pish about quality and strength of depth in the squad! They’re second rate, there’s no top class quality there, without fight they’re pish

New manager needs named now to get working on signings otherwise it’ll be catch up and last minute unwanted dross and shite again

Saw on Twitter rumoured defender coming in is Winston Reid, formerly of West Ham, surely not?
Edit - Just seen its a load of rubbish
It’s winston Ingram, left back, very one footed apparently

Probably been posted on here before but what exactly is the relationship between John Nelms and the owner Tim Keyes?
It astounds me that Nelms pretty much is the board and makes all the big decisions with little or no football experience, and in any other walk of life he’d have had his jotters long ago as he makes poor decision after poor decision with no repercussions0 -
Doubt there’ll be any change, Nelms has rarely made a good decision in his time running the club, he’s turning into a hindrance and actually stifling progress with constant poor appointments. Club needs an experienced manager to build a team, been too many marquee signings of names and connections who lack legs and athleticism for this level and an out of depth manager trying to shoehorn them into the starting 11. We have a pretty weak squad, probably championship level, with zero game plan or plan b when the inevitable happens. Not looking good
1 -
A team without structure and too many without the legs or work rate to compete at this level. The McMullen substitution was absolutely bizarre, remove the only pace and willing runner both forward and back from the team at 3-0 probably sums up McPake as a manager! In all honesty I feel for him a bit as he’s clearly out his depth, should be absolutely nowhere near the job and is the result of another poor decision by John Nelms, one of many he’s made!

Sleeves spoil it, would have been a classic otherwise

He’s not coming out of this too well but I suppose it depends on who you believe, they’re all at I think

I was slated on here for saying Nelms was slowly killing this club, I Stick by that. I’m not sure what he’s qualified as but he seems to make a hash of most things he has a say in

Inverness seem to be the only club coming out of this with real credit, fair play to them. Even more surprising as Scott Gardiners there

That may be so but they're still better than us

Even if we did make the playoffs Inverness would batter us over two legs anyway. They’re a mile better than us

What are the Perth teuchters gonna do when we finally do bite the dust and are no more? They’ll be heartbroken

Can’t remember Dens being notorious for flooding or that many games being off over the years. This to me seems to be a more recent problem but hardly a surprise with the amateurish way the clubs run
