I wonder if Lewis will play, with Goodwin maybe considering playing both goalkeepers in these four games before picking his number one for the season. 

 

 

I hope so as it would be harsh not to give Joe a chance in these games.

Good 2nd half' wasn't the best of performances but it'll de and more to come.... on a side note the vast majority on the hat are disgusting the heinous things they say about our own players! Can't be real fans on that bin fire surely!

Whilst posting is quiet in comparison to The Hat, the welcome difference here is the quality of poster we have.

You won't find any of the 24 carot gold zoomers on here and we are a friendly bunch that know how to disagree on matters without resorting to petty name calling.

We specialise in quality over quantity

I tottaly agree, like I said the other day I closed my acc on the hat as it has some real nasty bastards on it! From wishing Lewis ferguson would die to making jokes about Zerouali"s death!

Real scum on there but it does have a few ok posters. But massively out weighed by the putrid ones.

I worry for your blood pressure, stay safe min.

I joined afc chat 2 months ago now that was bad for my blood pressure as it has some absolute cretins on it so asked the admin to remove my account'  there were maybe a handful of ok posters like minijc or mini but vast majority were just utter cretins.

I’d argue (I hope) that we are trying to bring in more, particularly on the creative side, but with the level and type of player we are targeting they have options and it takes time (unfortunately.) Take McGrath and Ronan for example, I’m sure they both have a number of clubs interested.

It's just frustrating as hell & add in the farce of ramy's & bojans visa hell and it's infuriating asf

Club seem to think it's ok to get rid of 11-12 players & only bring in 6or7? Okay ffs pathetic! ICT beat St Johnstone 6-2 last night!! We drew 1-1 we them last week,  all I'm saying is don't get yer fukn hopes up 

Sorry, just not taking my sisters death well. Laters.

Oh GTF I don't care I just lost my sister!! Cormack is a tory cunt can't stand the piece of shit!! Our club is a circus playing in a corrupt clown leauge!!!!

1-2 and another defeat, our scorer coudnt give a shit

First of the bottom six games. Need a win or two to make sure we don't get drawn into the shitfest that will likely be against DM. Don't think I'd trust the team not to fuck that up, so a win here please.

Out
Bed
Bed
Probably at home
1-0 Dons, Ferguson

I hope that's what exactly happens deek deserves it!

I see the P&J reporting again today that Goodwin won’t hesitate with a “summer rebuild”. I’m really not comfortable with all this rebuild chat, it suggests that not being relegated is getting taken for granted.

Going by the last six games St Johnstone are in better form than us and going by the last 10 it’s only Dundee (on goal difference) worse than us in the entire league. That’s relegation form right there and if the focus is on what we’re doing in the summer rather than on sorting that crap record out then I’m very, very worried.

Our club is a basket case nothing else 

! Made crazy buy the piece of shit cormack

ICT keeping the reunion with deek alive, tbh my mate fae stoney is adamant were on a collision course to the play offs vs Deeks killie

I'm sure your memory is better that mine (old git that I am) so which games has he cost as points - not disputing your opinion of Lewis, by the way, just think that their are other priorities to be sorted first.

I'm sure your nae that auld,  Anyway aff top of my head i'd say dundee twice & St mirren & Mwell but if i could be bothered checking the fact he was dropped after dundee game in was it sep/Oct?  was the culmination of Joe losing us about 5 points up until he was dropped the following games v celtic .

And since he came back I'd say he's lost us points at dundee again.  

Holy fuck why do our support keep hanging on to lewis as if he's still the same player as 3 years ago! He's NOT! Let it go!! His stats over last 2 seasons has him in the bottom 6 keepers in this diddy league. Hladky was number 1 at Salford and he's number 2 tae the best goalie in leauge 1 at Ipswich! Look back at Lewis's fuck ups this season he's probably cost us abt 9-11 points. He's also nearly 35 ffs and don't list Craig Gordon's age as he's a tottaly different animal to Joe & 10x times a better goalie.

Despite the apparent howlers,were in 10th place with the 4th best defensive record. Does that not suggest our most urgent problems lie further up the park.

  Assuming were not going to get anywhere near a complete squad soon,I would focus on that area this time round 1) because its more likely to rekindle dwindling interest among fans. 2) A bit more firepower might take the pressure off the defence,and shut our supports over dwelling on every mistake

If Joe is kept on as number 1 I'd be very surprised min. I'd love the Joe of 2016-2020 but he hasn't been that goalie for 2 years now.

Apologies I meant shouting for Woods. 
 

Somebody once said something about stats. 

No probz, & no was never shouting for Woods to busy shouting at Joe.

He wasn't chucking them in. He made a few blunders as is the norm for pretty much every goalie. Otherwise, we were still getting plenty of clean sheets. His age is definitely not an issue as McGregor and Gordon and many others show, so we can remove that from the equation.

The difference for me is that Lewis has been a keeper at a very high level for us who is going through a loss of form (as happened to Craig Gordon). Keepers like alnwick, Clarke etc are Langfield level goalkeepers undergoing their season or two of peak form before reverting to the mean. Lewis still has all the attributes to be a great goalkeeper, he just needs to find them again. The others that we're being linked with looked to me to be in the category of limited goalies who are on form. Given the massive turnover of players this summer, I'd be looking to keep Lewis and concentrate on the rest of the squad. However, I'd also have done the same with Considine! I think we'll likely make quite a few errors in the goalie recruitment process before getting a replacement as good as Lewis and I'm not sure next season is the time to do it.

 

Fair enough min. Agree to disagree. His bad form isnt just this season its been near on 2 full seasons. I'd love us to get matt macey or Siegrist

Let me guess you were one of the geniuses calling for Brown to play earlier in the season.

From games I have watched most of the keepers you list have made numerous mistakes that have cost their team points including in games against us. I will give you the wife beater, Gordon and Kelly but others are not as good as Lewis even with his dip in form this season.

Brown? Wtf you on about? You talking about Scott brown? Wtf has that got to do we discussing lewis? 

Joe is no where to be seen!

Well the stats show lewis is in the bottom 3 goalies on saves ratio etc. He also hasn't saved a pen in nearly 2 seasons! He's in the bottom 2 on that list also. 

No time for sentimentality min! 

Sorry min your wrong he's lost it. He was chucking them in the net in mcinnes's last 16 months in charge as well. 

. Bruce andersons goal earlier this season prime example he stays on his line it's a simple catch. Need better than him min his age also.
