Been watching Pars since 1985 and never know such a farcical situation with injuries. Every week we have 2 players getting injured. Fuk knows whats going on. We're either cursed or got serious health and conditioning problems and some heads need to roll. Again we revert to being a bunch of shitbags on a two goal lead. Shite game management. McPake has previous at Dundee for this.

Sound like Chris Hamilton might be back for the Rovers game on Tuesday(getting a protective mask fitted) but will miss Saturday. McCann hamstring not too serious but just waiting for scan results to confirm when he can come back. Fisher back and Bene done as much training as Fisher this week but has a bit of stiffness and they are being careful with him. Sounds like a place on the bench.

I always thought Ryan Fulton at Hamilton looked a good keeper. Out of contract in the summer.

Injury wise I think Bene won't start but make the bench after 8 weeks out. Hamilton, KRH, Andy Tod and McCann will definately be out. Breen now back and I think Fisher will be ready to start again after a few weeks out. My predicted line-up ------------------Mehmet-------------- --------Comrie-----Fisher-----Breen O'Halloran----Allan-------Otoo---------Edwards -------------------Todd---------------- --------------Moffat-----Jakubiak------- Subs Bene, Chalmers, Wighton, Summers,Fenton, Sharp Ayr are one of the better sides I've seen this season. The were totally dominant against us 1st half at East End and should've racked up 4or 5 that day. It's a big loss losing Chris Hamilton. He would've been important defensively against a dangerous Ayr attack. I would again take a point from this one because we've not been great recently. I think we will lose this one 3-1 and probably another long term injury somewhere along the line.

Ideally for me I would try off loading Max Little and Harry Sharp, then look to bring in genuine competition/replacement for Mehmet. Not sure how realistic that would be in the January window but certainly business I would like to see soon. I think another CB. It not only effects our defence when we lose a CB to injury, but it effects our midfield options too. Again, not sure how easy it is to get a goalscorer at this time of year but clearly need somebody who's more effective infront of goal that our current options. The amount of good chances we miss is ridiculous. McPake has even highlighted the difference a Brian Graham would make with the desire to get on the end of crosses. Our guys don't to have either the ability to finish or knack of being in the right place. Wighton probably the best at finishing but games pass him by too much when he starts.

AJ's attempt at introducing a back three was just dreadful. Ashcroft was a part of that short lived back three and looked like a fish up at tree as Yogi used to say.

I was meaning from goalkeeper errors. Didn't state that very well in my original post. I think we pretty decent defensively.

Mehmet is a costly mistake. Sharp needs to go back to Dundee. Little is a waste of a wage too. With those two wages we need a genuine 1st choice keeper at top end championship level. Try down south or something different to the small pond we recruit from. We've hemorrhaged far too many goals for this to go on any longer. Having a crap keeper and no half decent goalscorers is holding us back. The Chalmers and Allan issue can at least be solved by putting Otoo and Hamilton into midfield when out defenders return.

Going have to sign a replacement for Deniz. Again showing he's just not up to it at this level.

Why wouldn't it? The rest of the teams are clearly not any better. We have also had half our starting 11 out so far this season. I think if we can get a near full squad we will have quite a bit more to give.

McPake was asked about Wotherspoon at our meet the manager night this week. He said that Wotherspoon was looking to get a move to play in Canada.

Surprised to hear that. The guy has been top notch everytime I've seen him. Made an unreal save against Jakubiak when you beat us at East End. Thought Ayr were pretty good that day.

Think Inverness will certainly be in with a shout. I was pretty impressed with Ayr when we played them. Think they will have a say in the play off battle.

Good money for the club then. Maybe bring in Jordan Marshall as a replacement.

Good Falkirk man Gregor Abel.....

McPake has already said that will take our 1 year option on him. He's going nowhere unless somebody pays a six figure sum.

Listening to James interview. He said we were comfortable? Not at the game today but really surprised at that. Thought we were massively under strength today. To beat Airdrie on their home patch with that 11 is impressive.

Livi for Pars? C'mon min

What a win. Would've taken a draw considering our injury problems. Can't wait to see what happens when our players are back

May sound pessimistic but I'm not looking too much into that Arbroath win. Thought they were worse than most the league 1 teams we played last year. We will be missing all 3 first choice centre backs and we are just so wasteful with our chances. It was good to get the Raith game out of system and that Arbroath game was the perfect fixture to get the confidence up again. These games are always close but got a feeling we might lose this narrowly.

Not worried about relegation. Hopefully at some point the injuries will ease up and we'll be fine. Think we might nick a 4 place play-off this year.

You guys no think not going full time when you were on the up was a mistake? Think you have a decent fan base and would've shown a bit of ambition to move the club forward long term.

Arbroath are a mess. Couldn't believe how bad they were on Tuesday. Think they will save you automatic relegation.

Get plastic pitches to feck. I'm glad the game was postponed. Too many injuries.

Sweeping a portacabin and looking after 1 plastic pitch shouldn't amount to much.
