Agreed re Coulson, he was outstanding today as was Hayes who for his age showed phenomenal. fitness

Seriously Slim, did you have to bring him up ?

I had just about recovered from sitting behind the goals at Rugby Park watching him concede FOUR in the first thirty three minutes of a cup tie 

I was also behind the goal that night and it was quite frankly the most horrendously inept display of goalkeeping i have ever witnessed. He was running about his line like Hen Broon >shudders< The fans were howling for him to be subbed. 

This new boy was on the books at Derby for 8 seasons so surely cannot be in the same category.

Scott Burns reporting that we want him on a permanent deal.

You can almost guarantee he’ll go with a similar team and utilise the same tactics so after the performance the other night, I think I’ll avoid this one to try and keep my blood pressure down.

That is without doubt one of the worst performances I’ve seen us produce in a very long time. We had zero penetration and were totally devoid of creativity in the final third. This new Glassball, possession for possessions sake with zero end product is excruciating and the worry is that I can’t see how we improve it as it’s been the story for most of the season. Either we don’t have the players or there’s a problem with the coaching as the product is boring to watch and completely ineffectual. 

Agree with Rico and would add that there’s an element of our support who over the years have labelled our best players as not good enough. I thought Ferguson had a decent game today. 

Are you forgetting that Ramirez could also spoil things?

I’m seriously starting to lose patience with this ridiculous circus we’ve become a part of.

Think I just heard Tup's head explode as he read that and started frantically googling what Twitter was. 

That today is the worst performance Ive seen since McGhee was here.

Depressingly woeful with no positives at all. The managers persisitence with the same tactics that were seeing us getting outplayed was deeply worrying and doesnt fill me with conficence moving forward.

Playing it out from the back was clearly a team instruction today but the players need to have enough game intelligence to know when not to do it. It was clear today that they don't and it ended up with us being in all types of pressure, in the first half particularly.

We were much better in the second half, after Hornby replaced Kamberi, who should never be played as a lone striker. Kennedy and McGinn, who mistifyingly got subbed when he was pulling the strings, are worthy of mention for their second half performances.

Overall, a decent 3 points which we sorely needed.

There is a ridiculous notion that persists in some peoples minds  that because someone was a hard player or a  horrible bastard on the pitch that that somehow how makes them more likely to get the best out of players as they will somehow knock their own attributes into them. Often its the very attributes that they showed on the pitch that makes them unsuited to man management and I say this in direct response to those who would tout guys like Brown as just what the current squad needs to give them a good boot up the arse.

Can't stop listening to the wigless one's interview. 

 

A classic and all the better in that it made Chick squirm

We are a formidable team now, full of character and with superb fitness.

Couldn't really ask for more at the moment. McInnes has worked wonders and deserves all the praise that he is getting.

Oh and ONE JAMIE LANGFIELD!!!

Nah, we need one of those mythical keepers who NEVER makes a mistake like EVER

That was a fantastic performance.

What an atmosphere and what a cracking gutsy display.

This team has a lot of character!

In but not that confident.

Thistle have been pretty solid and we cant convert out chances

All sorted, I can login again- Thanks

Pawlett to pick up his long overdue injury to ensure that we'll be playing either Scott Vernon or a 14 year old boy in the middle of the park come the middle of September

 

Fully agree. Good that he's had experience at full back, but we can't piss about with our most talented young players by playing them out of position.

Sometimes it good development though Mav. Im thinking of Mcleish getting played in centre mid when he first came into the team because Willie Garner was the centre half. It doesnt always harm them

Lets hope not. Its bad enough being without Robson for this one, losing the extra bit Jack provides would leave us a bit toothless in the midfield. Fingers crossed its a minor knock

We have a team this year with the guile and determination that has been lacking for a number of years.

DM definitely seems to be doing something right and the players seem to want to play for him.

Lets see how we perform against racellicbyraway  but I'm starting to feel quietly confident- keep it up boys!

Another go at polishing a turd

Re the bus, I hear that they are going to get a new one, rename it and pretend that its the old one
