Would argue in last two games where Stewart hasn’t played Scales has looked worse. Not a chance we should be giving Victims a penny for him. Bang average at best. Squad is going to have to be over hauled. A number of players who we have paid fees for are going to have to be moved on with little chance of getting money for them. We could be in transition for a very long time.

He should have been emptied after Hearts. Borderline incompetence he was given another two games after that.

Complete disgrace today. Could see from kick off that our players were not up for it. Stewart was desperate not to be on the ball. Looked panic stricken every time the ball came near him. He was out muscled numerous times by smaller weaker Hibs players. Scales was all over the shop. He was constantly out of position and his passing was horrific. Completely out worked and out fought in midfield. Even with Shinnie in there. Zero goal threat despite working hard. Miovski and Lopes not working as a pairing. Think it needs to be on or the other not both. New manager has a massive job on his hand to sort this mess out.

Anthony Stewart was supposed to be a decent league 1 player. Maybe need not to be looking at league 1.

Gone

Bench is incredibly weak.

Hayes at left back?

TV games confirmed if anyone is remotely interested.

He said leaving Shinnie out was a mistake. No shit Sherlock. A mistake he then chose not rectify during the game. After reading that I am at a total loss to understand why he is still here.

I just cannot believe that statement was best they could come up with after 2 days. As some said above it looks like at best it’s their way of buying time to either reduce the compensation due or they get a replacement lined up.

A game that will probably see losing manager sacked and potentially even the winning one. Both teams on horrendous runs and managers under severe pressure. No idea how we will line up after Mondays disaster but surely Shinnie starts. For the “Dead Man Walking’s” sake we need to score first or things could get very very nasty. Leith Junkies are arguably a bigger shambles than as us and may well have sold Nisbet and the diving cheat Porteous by then. Their fans hate their board and manger more than we do so atmosphere in their end could be as toxic as ours. In Beers in flat then walk to ground Away end 2 minute walk home 5-0 Stewart with all 5.

Don’t disagree. When he was appointed I was not enthused but expected him to at least make us hard to beat but he has even managed that. Just too big a job for him.

I think it may well be something like that they come outwith. Also terminating Shinne’s loan early to remove an obvious issue to Jim’s leadership.

Tonight’s results Elgin City 2-1 Drumchapel United Linlithgow Rose 0-2 Raith Rovers

Saw that earlier. Thought he was good at Dundee and was happy we signed him but for whatever reason just never looked as good with us. 48 is no age either.

Not being sacked today apparently. Bit late for crisis talks with players now is it not.

An explanation for Shinnie’s absence should have been first question asked in post match interview.

Disgrace tonight. No passion or fight from the players and no tactical input from the dead man walking in the dug out. We were incredibly slow and ponderous on the ball at the back. Why did he have Kennedy and Duncan playing as inverted wingers. Surely you want your wingers to hit the byline and get their defenders turning instead we have our cutting infield and slowing the game down. We played in front of their defence most of the game. Thought at game goal was fine and not offside but that would just have papered over the cracks. Goodwin needs punted now and an interim manager brought in to get us through to the summer. That time should be used to bring in a Sporting Director who will set the direction/vision of the club and then select the manager who will fit that. Think Chairman Teeth also has to stay down and bring in a CFO to run the club for him.

Think we stick with back 4 but would be tempted to play Richardson at right back as this is about his level and move Kennedy into right mid. If fit would would go with Lopes as main striker. No idea how Goodwin will approach this. Believe we have no back up keeper as Ritchie is cup tied so might have one of youth team on the bench. In lift through away end looking at back of someone’s head lift back to capital 2-0 Lopes and Coulson

They maybe playing in tier 6 but they have been well backed financially. Signed Forfar’s Captain in the summer plus player from Kelty. They have also raided Pollock and Auchinleck this season for players. I would put them as slightly better than Annan who we needed extra time to get passed earlier in the season.

Full draw.

Falkirk at home if we get passed Darvel.

For those that are interested.

Aye just seen that. Just assumed it was on after game. Apparently on SFA social media channel.
