Play offs here we come. Biggest collapse in premiership history?

We were sitting fourth at 3:15 today, but are now eighth and just one point off tenth, and could very well end up relegated.

The closest battle ever for top 6 and Europe should be exciting, but all I want right now is never to have to watch that fucking team / tactics ever again. Thanks for that Graham, you w****r.

Robinson was emptied after a similar bad run off form

And I can’t remember exactly where we were in the league but it reminds me somewhat of the second season of McGhee’s second spell.

If we sack him he’s got a big contract so I’d replace him with either Craigan, McFadden or Lasley and give one of them a chance as they are probably affordable. 

McFadden is a mental shout.

But lasley couldn't do worse as caretaker till we find a solution.

Just going on cheap options and I genuinely don’t think any of the 3 listed could play more grim football than Alexander at the moment.

We basically had Mcfadden as manager when Mcghee fucked off to Brighton during the week.

That still seems more appealing than what we're getting at the moment. Get Alexander out and literally anyone in.

Hate to break it to you all. With a 3 year contract Alexander is going nowhere. To pay him and Lucketti off would cost the club somewhere in the region of £500,000 - 750,000 unless there is a clause stating otherwise.  It looks misjudged now but no one was complaining when it was handed out. Back then we all thought there was a chance he may be approached for a bigger job.

The collapse since Xmas has been jaw dropping. We actually played some decent football last year. Not a lot admittedly but at least some. Now it is like Groundhog Day. I still think we have been unlucky last few games but when all is said and done there apears to be absolutely no plan to address the rot. Just more of the same in terms of team selection and tactics. That is the real and overriding worry. 11 league games without a win and the answer is to keep persevering with same formation, line up and negative tactics. 

We may yet make top 6 but right now it looks more likely the play off place is more realistic. 

I will go to St Mirren at home but right now I can see it far enough. 

I hope our CEO and Board are asking the Manager some searching questions although I doubt it sadly….

Lasley would give me the absolute fear. That game at Accies when he was in charge was the worst of the worst.

To be fair, I’ve always been against Las getting the job. I thought like Goodwin, if he wanted to be manager at the club where he was held in high regard, his best bet was to go away and prove himself down the leagues then get the job on merit, rather than chance.

However, that Accies game in question, I feel is harsh to judge him by. I don’t think you could really look at who was available to him that day and see much different. No manager could have compensated for how Chapman played that day.

I’m actually at the stage where I don’t think giving him it is a bad idea. This time I think a lot of our better players aren’t playing - Woolery, Slattery etc.

I get absolutely nothing from watching us these days. The results are shite and there’s barely even a passage of play that’s exciting to watch, never mind an entire game.
