    If he gets through he should get a bye as there's no way that Gilding can be allowed within 100 yards of a 16 year old. 

    😂

    Said this to my dad earlier - unfair to make him play an absolute nonce.

  2. Can never accept this argument that finding the right manager takes time. Pretty sure the average managerial reign is still around 18 months, so surely clubs aren’t just assuming their guy will stay for 5-10 years?

    1. Why are you getting rid of a manger if you don’t know where you’re going next?

    2. Any well-run club should have 3 or 4 realistic names that they would consider appointing if their manager left tomorrow. This gets regularly updated and makes it far less likely you’ll be left scrambling around in the dark.

    We're worse off for having conceded goals that the keepers shouldn't have.

    We’re worse off because we don’t score enough goals, not because we concede too many. The stats show this quite clearly.

    There have been goalkeeping errors but not as many as people have claimed. The lack of creativity and a reliable goalscorer are far bigger concerns that should be addressed.

    We’ve conceded 38 goals in our last 51 league games.

    Having had a wee look, we’ve actually conceded fewer goals than any other SPFL side since the start of last season.

    Even if you add in the Highland and Lowland Leagues, only Brechin City, Buckie Thistle and Banks O’Dee have conceded fewer.

    I understand why people aren’t happy with Mehmet after Saturday’s performance but to claim we’re struggling due to conceding too many goals is quite frankly utter bollocks.

    Anyone thinking we should have kept Todorov must not have watched that game last week, Jakubiak can't buy a goal but he's a much better player overall imo.

    We need a striker that is far more clinical than either of them.

    Both would be absolutely fine if playing alongside a Nicky Clark or Kevin Nisbet who was scoring every other week.

    But like last season, is that really down to the keeper or more the defense in front of him. For me it's the defence that's done the job, despite the howlers of the keepers we've had in the goals or Mehmet stuck to his line every cross and corner. 

    I would tend to largely agree but doesn’t mean it’s not an overreaction to just say bin a keeper you just gave a three-year deal to.

    Ditch the keeper isn’t exactly going to be a convincing argument when the side are sitting 4th with such a strong defensive record.

    We all know the reality beneath the surface is a bit different of course but just felt it needed to be pointed out.

    Fair enough. I genuinely thought that they were significantly better than us first half. Not our worst performance of the season, but I thought they showed more quality and were the better team.

    They were comfortably the better side in the first half, with and without the ball. Very surprised to hear anyone think it was even close tbh. It wasn’t as bad as Ayr or Rovers in the cup tie but it certainly was not good at all.

    While the first goal was poor defensively, nobody can honestly say it hadn’t been coming. Other than Jak’s shot that he dragged wide, I don’t remember a single time we looked like scoring.

    Thought we did improve second half but had given ourselves too much to do. If you give away cheap goals and make poor choices in the final third then you’re going to struggle to win a football match.
