We are loosing games because we are so wasteful infront of goal and not taking the opportunities. Admittedly I didnt at the start of this season attend as many Dunc games (home or away) because truthfully there wasnt the motivation to travel to watch that turgid ***** every wk, under Kells there is a clear change in approach being much more direct and wanting to create rather than just possession based with focus 'not to loose;' rather than 'try to win'. Last 3 games we should have been out of sight by half time, but too often either shooting way of target of not making the right choices. Last year I had concerns and early this season, however put it down to Duncball, BUT Billy is done, his ability to hold up the ball, run behind is gone. When through his touch is heavy and looks completely devoid of any confidence which given his experience and role is not good enough - his single goal all season is testament to this (and he is our 'star' striker in many fans eyes and thought he was going to Golden Boot this diddy league). Given of lack of depth and experience he wont be dropped but we need to look at alternative formations and position for him - even if its sitting deeper to allow Cairns to play (may not be any better but give him a chance). Could we transition Billy into a holding mid, anchor role then push forwards likes of Bray or Longstaff - one for him & Kells to fix.

which games though this season he has been 'on it' as hes been poor in all ive seen. Return of 1 goal in 22 is a poor and if this was another player we had like Brooks or Ferguson they would be calls to be dropped. Billy can only have a limited 'credit in the bank' Overall we are lowest scoring team in the league, it's making hard work for our defence so there is need to do something

I think the setup is hindering Billy more than his advancing years. We've never seen the best of him when deployed as a lone striker. The opposition know he can be dangerous if given space so he tends to be well covered with nobody alongside to draw them away. Unfortunately we don't currently have any obvious option for that (I've not seen enough of Cairns to know if he could) and we also don't have anyone that could be better deployed as a lone striker. I said above that I didn't think Billy was at it on Saturday but he wasn't the only one. It happens and we need to try and avoid knee jerk reactions. As frustrating as it is not having a greater depth of squad in the attacking positions I've seen enough in the last few games to believe we'll still escape the bottom 2 places in the league. There's goals in this squad even if they aren't coming from the striker.

My copy hasn’t arrived in Norfolk yet and I ain’t in Norfolk, Virginia!

I think that once Billy gets on the scoresheet, the goals will start to flow again. If we will have Reilly back soon, that gives us options, as Billy is doing the full match in most games, which is a big ask for any lone striker, especially so for one of his age I am fully right behind him and the rest of the squad.

Another youngster doing a you tube vlog on yesterdays game. Not the best as he is sitting in row a or b in south stand. Decent view of arbroath opener and a Quick Look at the second. also I am not sure if he caught the Thompson first booking but a view of the second which led to the red. ( as Kellacher said he had 75 more yards to get to the goal but Thompson will learn) Just a Quick Look for supporters not at the game before TM4TJ posts the ICT official recording. Ps….. if me doing this is hacking off posters on here give me some face palms or down arrows and I won’t do it again.

I was working on the principle that a stopped clock is right occasionally

Bit late to the party, but letting Marley Watkins go before the Europa League. Reckon he could've left a dent in Astra Giurgiu and sent us to Upton Park, leaving us with a major payday that could've pushed us back into the European Spots, and maybe back to Hampden cleanly rather than being saved by the skin of our teeth by Andréa Mutombo in the embers against Hibs for a fruitless replay

I'm surprised nobody has commented on the Administrator's 43 page report released yesterday. It was sent to creditors and shareholders and so I am unclear as to what level of confidentiality applies to the content and therefore I won't go into any detail. Having said that, the main things to take from the report seem to me to be that:- Administration is likely to be a long process. The administrators are looking for a sale on a going concern basis and a number of interested parties have been given access to detailed financial information and been invited to submit bids with a view to a sale sometime in 2015. If it can't be sold, they would look for a CVA to clear the debt. Creditors are being asked to confirm by the end of the year, whether they are in agreement with this general approach and on whether a creditors' committee should be established. Clarification is still needed around the ownership of the land around the stadium The administrators have established a process to detail income and expenditure on a monthly basis and have provided details for the last 3 or so weeks. This detail will be invaluable for potential future owners. The administrators have also given detailed information of who the creditors are and how much is owed. I don't think providing any detail would serve any purpose. Suffice it to say, that the administrators appear to be going about their business in a methodical, professional and very efficient manner. But it looks to me that we could well be in administration for the rest of the season at least and we really should not be hanging on any hope of a quick fix. As fans, I feel the best thing we can do is to support the administrators in their work and get behind the club and the team, both financially and on matchdays.
