Poor game with a , just about deserved win. Too many players not at their best and seemingly unable to pass to each other especially late in the second half. Still, a vital win and a win next week would put us in a strong position. By the way, the playing surface looked and played, dreadfully at times. These surfaces really need to be banned.

Not a great game and we were lucky our poor defensive play, especially in the first half, didn't lead to us conceding. Far too slow in getting the ball forward, for which Chalmers must take much of the blame as he constantly receives the ball facing his own goal so the ball goes backwards instead of forwards. Substitutions did change the game and once we scored, we didn't look like conceding. Stenhousemuir were lucky to finish with 11 men as they were very physical and pit in some nasty tackles. Some were punished by the ref, who was poor, but many were not. Anyway, we won't onwards and upwards.

Shocking result with, to me, highly questionable team selection by Kellagher again. Substitutions seemed a bit bizarre as well. All very well rotating team selections when we are on A winning run but, to me, it just appears manager doesn't know his best team. If we don't beat East Fife, next week, then questions must be asked of the managerial team. I understand some will be uncomfortable this being mentioned but this is the first poor run Kellagher has managed over so he needs to prove he can turn things around. I'm not convinced he can given how inconsistent we currently are.

I do have concerns over Kellagher as a manager in that he doesn't seem to be able to change things when they aren't going our way. I think he chops and changes the team too much and doesn't seem to know his best team. The strikers are an example where Bavidge plays one week then Zimba the next, same with Sole and Longstaff. Fir me Bavidge and Sole have to start every week in the league as they give us much better options. Don't know if conditions played a part in team selection today but we really need to get on a winning run quickly.

It does concern me that Kellagher doesn't seem to learn lessons from how some teams play against us and adjust our style of play accordingly when next we meet them. We do seem unable to come up with a plan b at times which is worrying. This would be concerning at Championship level so if we are keeping Kellagher, we need to get someone experienced in beside him.

There's a bit of a trend here where we start off games well and dominate the first half only to fall apart in the second half and play really poorly. Don't know what the reason is but it is worrying and will come back to bite us at some point unless it's fixed.

Not quite as gard a watch as last week but only because Cove were really poor. So many chances missed, poor shooting and crossing into the box were our down fall yet again plus Cove keeper made 2 really good saves to prevent goals. Kellagher needs to revisit his team selections and tactics urgently. Zimbabwe should not be starting ahead of Bavidge. I know Bavidge hasn't set the Heather on fire this season but needs a run of games. Zimbabwe missed 2 good chances, 1 he should have buried but is a limited player. Wotherspoon is done after around 60 minutes so we'd be better starting Stewart then bringing on Wotherspoon when the opposition tires. We drop out of games too easily in the second half, not so much today but that was because Cove were poor so it really needs addressed and quickly. A wins a win though and I'll take a 1 - 0 win all day long but our luck will run out one day if wr don't stary scoring more goals.

That was a hard watch after we scored. Yet again, we just seemed to stop playing, could pass to each other and lost most of the second balls. It's worrying as it's not the first time this has happened. Either we lack fitness or players are carrying knocks. I don't think Kellagher escapes criticism either as, at times, he seems incapable of changing the game with his substitutions. What is more frustrating is that up to the goal, we created plenty chances and had it not been for the Montrose keeper, we would have been out of sight. Typical poor performance from the referee as usual.

2 points thrown away because of poor defending and a ridiculous penalty decision. We huffed and puffed and deserved to get level but nowhere near clinical enough at times. Still trying to score the perfecgoal far too often instead of having a shot. Another diabolically poor refereeing display yet again where we got no decisions going fie us.

Deserved win but we made hard work of it. Their keeper had 3 good saves to be fair but so did ours in the last few minutes. Didn't think much of Alloa to be honest. Played for a draw all day long and really offered little threat until the last few minutes from setpieces. Once again, a poor referee who let so many clear fouls go unpunished which almost cost us dearly at thd end. We were far too slow in possession at times which allowed Alloa to get organised. Bringing Sole on made a difference and ultimately won us the game. Bavidge and Longstaff were poor today and Bavidge blew on 3 on 1 break horribly. To me, he's wasted playing out wide. As someone else has said, Devine's distribution was, at times horrendous and his mistakes in defence are going to cost us at some point.

With regard to fans complaining/blaming the referee for our result yesterday. The referee did influence the result by the ridiculous award of the free kick that led to the penalty. I didn't think it was a penalty but was sitting in the main stand so if Devine did push their player, then fair enough. However, numerous examples of blatant pushes and holding throughout the game that the referee didn't punish. What gets fans is the inconsistency of referees and that I'm afraid is down to the referees and how they are told to referee the game. As for not getting as good referees at this level, these are allegedly the referees of the future but even when you look at our "top" referees, are they really any better.

3 points carelessly thrown away today. Some harsh lessons need to be quickly learnt especially by the manager Substitutions needed to be made to be made earlier today as the swagger of the first half had gone and we needed to change things. Danny Devine needs a rocket up his arse as he is constantly playing balls/passes that he doesn't have to and lead to the ball being given away. We lost the second goal because we faffed about in midfield, Devine was charging upfield and we were exposed horribly for the goal. Don't think the keeper covered himself in glory either for that one. The Stenhousemuir penalty really changed the game. In the second half, they just played 2 banks od four and tried to hit on the breaks. We didn't go wide often enough, as we had been doing, in the first half until Sole game on. Referee definitely impacted the game today with the penalty for them. Gave them virtually everything in terms of fouls yet missed some clear and blatant fouls all over the park. Easily the worst Referee seen here for years. Ultimately, we beat ourselves and we need to wise op quickly.

Dominated the game and should he 2 or 3 goals up. Dreadful referee, highly debatable penalty, non foul that led up to the greenock and ridiculous booking for McIntyre. More goals in this for us if we keep playing the way we are. Biggest hindrance is going to be the ref.

Bookings were ridiculous apart from Longstaff's. Poor Poor referee who virtually decided every tackle was a foul especially when the Peterhead players shouted in agony. Easily one of the worst referees that been here and that's saying something.

What other option do we have for right back?. McLeod did his best on Saturday but wasn't helped by Devine or Longstaff who could have supported him more. Lack of a striker is a concern and to be brutally honest, Weathspoon did nothing on Saturday to justify his inclusion from the start.

A bit harsh on Billy. I'm sure he wouldn't be playing if we had an alternative, which we don't. Personally, I'd start the two guys who came on against East Kilbride next week with Billy and Weatherspoon as subs. Weatherspoon was equally disappointing today. As for the game, we were good in parts and probably deserved a draw. Still tend to overplay too much around the box though, plaes just shoot if the opportunity presents its self. Today was also a good workout in terms of fitness.

Some posters getting carried away with performances and results in pre season friendlies. These are just about building up fitness and sharpness, nothing else. That's why I don't bother going to watch. They have little bearing on the season ahead. That said, I would imagine a much better picture will be given in the friendly against Partick with possibly our normal first team line up being chosen. Again though call about fitness and sharpness.

Doesn't really matter what we think as doubt many of us will have ever seen him play and can't really comment on how good he is. He's played a lot of games, albeit at Highland league level but that's good experience.

Managed to get my season ticket online now. Looks like there was a tick box missing to say how you wanted it delivered. Just sign into your account and follow the links to renew and everything should now work.

Anyone else having problems renewing their season ticket online. I get as far as the payment part, then the site just freezes and I cannot continue.

Dunfermline wanted Gilmour in the transfer window but didn't offer enough to sign him then so no surprise he actually signed for them. Not too disappointed in him leaving as he often sat way too deep in games to really influence them.

SFA/SPFL take 50% of gate money for Championship play offs. Think part of if goes towards parachute payments to relegated Premier league team which is a nonsense. Just another case of Premier league keeping money which should be spread to Championship teams.

Didn't see that performance coming. Two superb goals and a luckily scored penalty but we're due some luck. Good all over the park today with no stupid defensive errors. Not sure if the defence was really really good or it was because Arbroath were so poor. Don't think they actually had a shot on target but who cares, we won. Crowd were good today although I, personally, thought we should have had a bigger crowd attend for this. As usual,referee was hopeless, booked Strachan for a nothing foul yet failed to book Devine for a poor challenge, failed to book the Arbroath number 5 for a cynical foul on Bray and a tackle on Strachan should have been a booking as well as it was a dangerous tackle.

Players and management should all hang their heads in shame after that performance. No passion, no energy and quite literally no clue from some Players especially the more experienced players. Goals wr lost were criminal especially the second one but they have been happening all season and still not sorted out. Very disappointed and angry after this performance.

The points dropped against Annan and Alloa are now coming back to haunt us. The decision to let Billy take the penalty last week was poor and the ridiculous sending off for Savage have really hurt us.
