Horrendous defending from Duffy for the first goal getting caught out with the bounce how can a professional defender not deal with a throw in from the oppositions half? Delaney just let the ball past him onto the advancing David Gold pathetic attempt at cutting out the cross. 

2nd goal was just comical defending again getting caught out with a corner which we should've cleared easily instead of just gifting the ball to Thomas O' Brien. 

The red card was just insane he could've flicked Adam Brooks on goal but instead big Harry fails miserably to control a direct ball with his chest and he takes the Arbroath player out with his studs Jesus christ 🙈

With the luxury of the match highlights. Duffy was certainly caught out with the sun in his eyes. You see him raising his hands to shade, but by then he couldn't react quick enough. But why was he over on that side, out of position in the first place, wtf was Boyes doing seen him also under the throw and caught out? Why was Delaney so far up and just trotting back before and after the ball went over his head while all this was going on? Huge space at the back with just Davidson in the center, Bray rushing back to cover got there too late. Classic defence-caught-napping.

Delaney, Boyes and Duffy, I mean really, seriously???

Absolute shambles from start to finish by the looks of it and could have been more but for Cammy McKay and the post.

Granted it was just a mix of some 1st team picks and bench warmers but it can't be emphisised more enough with that performance and result the over all quality within the squad has dropped drastically. Something has to be done soon to change this, this cannot be continually be put down to circumstances and looking like no one taking any responsibility, this isn't just about the players and the coaching staff, this goes right through the club. This isn't the same team I've supported for years, there's no fight or ambition left anymore.

I noticed some people on the fb site saying they're relieved it was just the Challenge Cup. Bonkers, as this is a winnable cup, one the club has a great heritage in. Every final, even the losing ones, has been a great day out. Granted Arbroath was a tough draw at this stage but even so.

Unfuckingbelievable.

'Dodds insists his team selection must be taken into consideration' for yesterday's thumping by Arbroath. So who is responsible for picking the team, who was supposed to have done their homework on Arbroath, tactics anyone??

Must be that pesky circumstances and bad luck getting in the way again. (sarcasm)

I don't know if Dodds was aware, but we also rotated our squad.  We didn't start with either of our first choice strikers (Bird or McIntosh), we gave Jacobs his first start of the season, Gaston in goal was rested, we experimented with Turan up front, Balde on right wing (he normally plays more centrally), and gave Hylton a start, who has been on the bench in recent weeks.  Although we didn't have as many changes due to having a smaller squad, there was a good bit of experimentation in there too!

Of course he wasn't aware,  man's a clueless fucking imbecile!

If Dodds has a shred of dignity or honesty about him he should leave our club now.

If he stays then his rep will be in Scottish Footballs toilet.

He would be an idiot to walk away from a two-year contract
