The County model is totally unsustainable for a club of their size. They're a slightly bigger Gretna.

Somebody mentioned on another thread that it's been a terrible season for results going against us. It hasn't - in fact the opposite is the case, despite some bad ones in recent weeks. After 31 games, we are merely one point ahead of where Dundee Utd were at the same stage (they actually had 6 wins to our 4). Utd, however, had been completely adrift for months, they were a laughing stock, effectively relegated already. They went on to take a decent 7 points post-split, but still their final tally of 28 was 8 behind the team in 11th and 15 behind 10th. So we are no better than they were (well, 1 point better) and yet all season there has been a whole bunch of clubs within touching distance of us, enabling Foran to talk about top 6 until a few weeks ago, whereas Utd were just talking about staying sufficiently in touch to give themselves a chance if they won all their post-split games. So results elsewhere have been very favourable to us, preventing our dismal points tally from leaving us completely adrift, and helping to mask what a terrible, terrible job Foran has done with this side.

The time to start the blood-letting and taking stock will be when our fate is decided. We still have it in our own hands to avoid relegation and yes I am only too aware that games are running out but things could change for the better quickly if we could get a early win in the remaining games and lets remember that all the teams next to us will be taking points of each other. Lets use our energy to give the team all the positive backing we can and you never you the team may surprise you.

OFW seems back to his previous self after a very bad 2 or 3 months.

So why don't our captain and senior players do something about that? Either by talking with the manager - and I do mean "with" and not "to" - or even making their own adjustments on the field of play when they can see what the problems are. Maybe I am being incredibly naive. Or maybe they have already done these things - I am not close to the club and I don't see many matches. But to blame absolutely everything on the manager seems a bit much, when we still supposedly have "players who are better than our current position would suggest". Presumably they can think for themselves - although I accept that whether they are allowed to is a different matter.

Our demise is nothing to do with any central belt conspiracy but everything to do with naive and inexperienced management of players who are better than our current position would suggest.

We need to try to re-sign Miles Storey ... I really feel he's been what we've been missing in defence ... What a goal-line clearance that was ... Sensational!

I'm pretty despondent right now with regards ICT, I think we are looking at the demise of our club as a top flight team, I really do. We can't buy a win, we don't look like getting a win and I think the manager has blown his lot on trying to figure out how to get the best formation and how to get the best from the players, according to some sources Foran is pretty thrawn and does not seem to be able to take advice from the coaching team around him. Some of the team set-ups have been questionable and tactics pretty naive, i'm sure the players can and surely want to perform better but the moral must be low as the pressure increases. As for the club, We have not moved on from our early days after promotion to the SPFL, Still the portacabin plonked outside, still dodging mud and puddles going to the shop/toilets and this to the sad stuff on the pitch and it's not much of an enjoyable matchday experience i'm afraid. Anyway, i'm off for a malt, and i'll be there on Saturday hoping and shouting the players on to maybe a win.

Nah, County have Roy McGregor who literally throws money at the club, We have nobody, in fact we can't even give shares away!! Sandy Catto's shares are still awaiting a bidder! There is something wrong at our club.

Maybe other results going in our favour is a more understandable way of expressing what I mean . On several occasions this seasons I and many others have hoped for other teams to lose and it didn't happen . Hope you can make sense of that . I agree with what you say we are lucky to be where we are at this stage . Pleased to see you haven't given up hope and like yourself I too am hoping for a win on Sat.

I am more hopeful than I was after the Hamilton debacle. Since then we seem to have tightened up at the back considerably. We were conceding 2 goals a game. Not sure what the stats are like now. Presently we are giving ourselves a chance in every game. If we continue as we are, we will finish bottom but a slight improvement going forward will see us with a good chance. A lot depends on the teams around us. Firstly we MUST beat them. If not and they pick up unexpected points we are goosed. I believe its a bottom 3 of us, Dundee and Accies. I think county will pull away, as will well to a lesser extent. Im a positive person, one bonus is; at least its exciting!

Not sure what you mean about other results going against us. To be honest this season I think we have been very fortunate that with only 4 wins we are still within touching distance of the clubs that are above us. The form we have been in, it is a minor miracle that it is now April and we haven't been cut loose at the bottom. Still hope..... starting with a home win on Saturday.

I don't think that anyone has given up on us staying up but many of us are realistic about that prospect taking into account recent results and performances. Things might have been different had the manager displayed such realism several weeks ago rather than continuing to talk about top six.

If you can't beat the teams around you, you'll go down. We've had a home win against Dundee and an away victory at Motherwell + a few draws against the bottom 6. Sure, we'll have one more pop at each of them, but I have zero faith in Richie to select the right team to win any games. The frustration is that there is a good team in there, but it has only been selected on one occasion on account of injuries and the Foran tombola selection policy. I'll be there to the bitter end, but more in hope than expectation.

My secret source from inside the club has just sent me an exclusive, never-before-seen secret photo of the contraption the club blew it's budget on over the summer. It's believed this is the machine Foran uses to pick the team every week...

Am I the only one on here who isn't giving up on us staying up ? Love or loathe Richie it's far too late to do anything as far as a manager goes .Personally I don't have a problem with him . We shouldn't rely on results elsewhere but apart from Celtic we are not alone in that ,and this must be our worst season for other results going against us . It's not over yet so get behind the team and KEEP THE FAITH !!!
