Jeez, If there was ever a team that didn't turn up, That was it today! Way too much turkey lads.

Looked off the pace, slow to every ball / second ball, Created zilch, defence was sloppy ( Diagba saved us from a real humping).

And once again the home fans suffer.. why?   

Reality check today and back to earth with a huge bump and to make matters worse a veritable 6 pointer with Dumbarton next week FFS.

Longstaff MOM  for going sideways and one shot to the back of the north stand.

Out of interest who would you have picked? 

I would have picked the team that started today, we don’t have any other choice.

cove from the start were faster, stronger, better all over the park than us. Fyvie was running the midfield.

dont understand what kellacher was doing second half. Took Strachan off cairns on. Went to a back 3 of devine, savage and for goodness sake gilmour as the centre half. 
nolan shifted to the left, was getting into some decent positions but would not cross the ball with his left foot always turning back to use his right.

bray on the other side getting the ball knew he couldn’t go past their fullback, stopping and either passing sideways or more often backwards allowing cove to regroup.

we had a good chance to get a goal back 2nd half I think cairns Sclaffed a shot from a few yards the keeper saved and billy back in the day would have slotted home but alas the defender was too quick for him and cleared.

maybe time to give cairns a go up front although he looked pretty raw the time he was on. 
we may have used up all the luck we have been having lately, diabaga saving 2 penalties in consecutive games turning a defeat into a draw v kelty?. And a defeat into a win v cove, when a 2 goal lead for them would have killed the game.

then to score 2 goals to win 2 games from corner crosses. 
Dumbarton winning and Annan drawing, both late in the game didn’t help today.

all we can do is turn up next game and go again.

Yep, that’s where we are just now. And even if a handful of players would ordinarily deserve to be dropped after today’s performance, they’ll all be starting next week because they are still the best or only option we have.

Dibaga.

It could have been a lot worse, He had one save at his near post just infront of us in the first half, Palmed a low shot round for a corner.

Unfortunatley the defence didn't heed the warning and from that corner they scored with a header high into the net.

We were not switched on and i also think the Captain should be Devine.

I’d drop McKay. Been totally ineffective for far too long now.
