And if Alex Ferguson had not won all those games with us and Man Utd he'd have been a crap manager.

Goodwin has been a manager since 2016 so surely cannot be labelled as inexperienced. Out of his depth or tactically inept yes but not inexperienced. I think that appointing anyone is a bit of a crap shoot tbh as we can’t afford someone who can guarantee success and in fact that person probably doesn’t exist in our budget range. If Robson’s doing well and putting points on the board then I think we should stick with him for now as a vastly more experienced manager in Goodwin couldn’t do that.

He's convinced me, get him in

Don’t rule out 1-6-3

He was always a driving midfielder with a will to win. Yes, he can be rash in the challenge but that’s part of his will to win and he has a great attitude. Better than a journeyman in my opinion.

I can see there being serious interest in Duk as well.

Albeit I'm happy to see Richardson benched for this one, regardless of who we play at right back our center defense seriously lacks any aggression in the air and that will continue to cost us goals imo

My prediction is penalty to Rangers.

A disappointing end to a game in which we struggled all day in the final third due to a generally atrocious final ball. When we scored with 3 minutes remaining that really should have been it but as I've been saying all season, we are a team which cannot defend.

Keep well min

Seems a bit extreme D.O.C, you ok?

Goal scorers cost money and I suppose the problem is, who do we bring in who is proven and who costs less? Over to the recruitment team I guess.

Ramirez is a proven goal scorer, and that was when he had virtually no service and I think that if he plays in the current team, he will score goals. To get rid of him and leave us without central striker cover seems a bit short sighted but I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes with him and Goodwin. I like Lopes but from what I've seen we cant rely on him for goals. If Milne is ready and good enough I'm happy but as I've only seen him play in the midfield I just don't know. The fact that Goodwin has utilised McCrorie in the centre of defence doesn't fill me with confidence because McCrorie isn't the answer in that position. I think we need cover and I agree with Rico that it probably has to be a utility player.

I still look at our defence with degree of trepidation. Had LIvi got the goal the first goal they probably deserved in the first half today I'm worried they could have done a Motherwell on us. we were honking early doors and we still have little defensive cover so a defender has to be a priority in my mind.

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

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. oot

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.
