The last time we were this bad and we all spoke like this was when Foran was in charge and look how that ended. Had we not got 19pts from the first 7 games we'd be in that said same situation. Everyone is asleep at the wheel and drastic change is needed now.

Beginning to feel like groundhog day: get to Saturday; optimistic about the game; think our furtunes will change; game kicks off; get to half time Sigh 😕 Remember when we used to be able to get to half time at 0v0, I'd take that as a bonus Things need to change, right now. Could be BDs biggest team talk to date

There's a much bigger root to the problem and Dodds can't just take the blame solely on his on. Ultimately the manager/head coach takes to fall but from top to bottom there's huge failings. We're a shambles all over the place: Coaching, tactics, squad, backroom staff, communication, hospitality, facilities, boardroom, you name it. A lot goes down to funding but the sooner we realise as a club what level we're at the better as that's the only way we'll move forward. People say don't look back but at some stage we have to look back at what we were good at as a club and go back to that or at least some form of that.

However saying that are we really? Partick have 3 games in hand over us and Arbroath and Killie have 1. Yes they still have to win them and its not a given that they will but we're not putting anywhere near enough pressure on them to do so

Sadly though a point isn't enough

This is why we'll struggle to even finish in the top four because not only are we getting beat but Arbroath and Kilmarnock are as well. Yes they aren't finished yet but everything is going Partick's way tonight.

Whether it's tongue in cheek, a joke or you genuinely mean it, I think you need to remember it's a game. While I believe BD has some serious questions to answer and a lot of doubters to prove wrong, I'm not sure even if a joke it's a comment that's needed. If he's half the professional now as he was a player, I'm sure he's more than angry enough tonight to know things have to change not to mention his birthday being spoiled.

When you can't even get the basics correct then it's already writing on the wall. I struggle to understand what we do all week in training when we put in a performance like that. Whats worse is that Morton had to do very little, it's not like they made us play that way. The telling thing is that we're all looking at other teams results because we know we're not good enough and we are reliant on them dropping points. We could learn a lot from Arbroath, part time or not, they are well drilled, well versed and play 100% with the belief that their manager has instilled in them and they know what they are doing.

First game for us since before Covid hit. Must win game today, no ifs or buts, recent form has been nothing short of relegation contenders and only our good start to the season has kept us up there. Genuinely think BD will face some very tough questions if we don't get 3pts today.

Wide players? I thought this was going to be about Leigh Griffiths given he's put on a pound a two 🤣

It's too easy to get caught up in the rumours brandished around about sell-on clauses and at times they're not worth the paper they're written on. It should only ever be seen as a bonus for the selling club and never be counted on, any board that does needs their heads checking. Any money we get can only benefit if it's seen as an unexpected income. If anyone is disappointed by the amount then they need to look back at the original sale of Christie and question the amount we got then, in my opinion it was nowhere near enough.

Pity he wasn't fully appreciated by some while here and an easy target for the boo boys when things didn't go to plan. Type of player that gets noticed more once they've gone

Doing their bit to encourage others to return then, never fails to amaze me how many of them act like little Hitler's

Hey folks As @Gringo has decided to hang up his boots and take a well earned retirement from the weekly NAPS competition I've said I'll keep it going. For those who haven't taken part before it would be good to get some more interest, head over to the betting forum for a bit of harmless virtual betting. I've posted here to raise more interest

Thanks @Gringo especially for running it again this season

Make up your mind

In my experience nothing comes good from a vindaloo of course unless your hoping he is explosive, in which case I can vouch for that!

We've been searching for this for the last two or three years and it's not come around so something has to change, we have players that JR doesn't play for whatever reason and at that some that he has brought in himself. For me that has to change, if they aren't of the standard that he requires or aren't what he believed them to be then get rid of them. As much as we have a small squad it's even smaller when we don't play some of them. I hate seeing big turnarounds of playing staff but at the end of the day we can't afford to have any passengers. I think one of the biggest problems is that when we are bad we are dreadful and that's the worrying part, at least last season when we were bad we scrapped draws and it was this that we hoped to build upon, sadly that hasn't happened. In this league this season, out with Dundee Utd, every team can claim they need to find consistency. so we aren't alone.

Been playing too much Football Manager I think ?

A wins a win, given our recent form 3pts are more important than anything else

Is that the new Ayr Utd manager in waiting asking for some tips

FT Ayr Utd 0v2 ICT - Vincent and Rooney It's clear my predictions are complete guff however I'll gladly on this occasion accept being wrong. After last night's result this was, even at this early stage of the season, a huge marker to lay down. Excellent way to bounce back after last week

GOAL!!!! 2v0 Rooooonneeeyyyyyyyyy

GOAL!!! 1v0 Caley, James Vincent Who said he'd have benched him ?
