Aye. It was extremely not what I wanted to hear tbf.

I wouldn't worry about it yet - no manager is going to advertise to the world we're going on a huge shopping spree and very few would so publicly announce to their current squad in January they're for the chop.

Obviously if he's telling the truth it's time for panic but I'd wait and see.

And clearly tonight's 0-3 debacle might persuade the board to dig out another few hundred grand!

I honestly believe we are back in the old position of having to sell someone before we bring anyone else in. I think the money we had in the bank is all gone via park and stadium improvements.

Posted this in the match thread but that is absolutely fucking criminal from us tonight.

Hammell and the players clearly haven’t learned from the 10 men v Hearts debacle. Or any mistakes we’re making for that matter.

I don’t see how we’re going to pick enough points this season to stay up if we’re going to chuck points away like that.

There was half of a good performance there but I'm really starting to get uneasy about Hammell. 

He inherited a fairly pish squad that's since been decimated by injuries, and has managed to bring a lot of decent attacking play out of them. There's enough in that for me to suggest that he's probably a decent enough coach but that still feels a good wee bit away from being an actual manager. 

If we're honest, it would probably take a stroke of massive fucking luck for us to empty our manager a day before the season started only for our Head of Youth Development to turn out to be the best possible candidate to replace him- and I don't think it's happened. Even if we do stay up I'd be thanking him for steadying the ship but getting a proper manager in for next season.

After that absolute shitshow tonight there's nothing that can convince me that we aren't going down. If that was against any other team then we'd have lost tonight. We are in need of serious reinforcement but we all know that's unlikely to happen given what Hammell said in this press conference about new signings next month.

Absolutely embarrassing. That's the kind of thing a team of promising youngsters might do and be forgiven for because they lack a bit of experience but ffs, we've barely anyone in that category. McKinstry? Penney maybe?  But O'Donnell, McGinn, Lamie? These are seasoned pros and that was a fucking carry on.

The second goal is almost forgivable, that was an unbelievable strike but the first goal enabled it and if we don't cut this kind of thing out we'll be in the Championship next season.
