Sutherland signed up as well.

Duffy and Doran sign new one year deals. Another new contract to be announced at 2pm.

Sean Welsh signs new 2 year deal.

Surely not 5 at the back. Is Duffy right back and Carson midfield.

If anyone is looking for a pre match drink the Welcome Inn is dead quiet and only maybe a 15 minute walk to the ground.

I heard a rumour MacGregor could be back for the St Johnstone games. Supposedly broke his cheekbone but could play with a mask protecting it. It would be nice if it was true.

It's hard to play direct when the ball keeps getting blown back towards our goal. Keep it tight first half then go for it second half when we have the wind in our favour.

We're playing into the wind. Giving away a few silly fouls already.

I thought Danny Devine was superb last night. I wasn't overly happy when we signed him but in fairness to him he had been really good this season.

Great performance and good use of the squad by Dodds. As some have said I was also really impressed by Lewis Hyde. The fact that it seems he can play various positions is also a bonus when we have a smallish squad.

He returned to Clach on loan for the season I believe.

Did Samuels not sign a permanent 18 month contract?

Really, really good performance. We were under the cosh for 5, 10 minutes after we scored the first but it was great to see players throwing themselves in front of shots and Mackay making some great saves to keep us ahead. There seemed a real determination and fight about the team today. For me that was Carsons best performance in a long time but I thought McAlear and in particular Sean Welsh were outstanding, completey dominated the midfield. Looks like we could be timing our return to form just at the perfect time.

I didn't notice anyone celebrating like we had won the league. I did notice for the first time in many weeks fans talking positively and been greatly encouraged by a performance and result. To beat the league leaders going into the weekend so comfortably is something that should be celebrated.

I'd like to see us go with something like this today Ridgers Devine Broadfoot Deas Pearson Carson Welsh McAlear Walsh Hardy McKay

Where have you heard that Roddy isn't showing up for training? I'm no fan of Dodds but for a youngster breaking into the first team and not showing up for training Is a disgrace. Can you please tell us all where you are hearing this from and what the issues are because to make such accusations about a young player is bold move. Please enlighten me?

Hearing Scott Tiffoney is out injured for Thistle tonight. Big boost for us if he is. He looked really dangerous for them in the 3 all draw. Easily had the better of Carson in that one.

No we couldn't. Partick play Raith Rovers. We could possibly drop to fourth though.

Hamilton deserve it. Shocking goal to go with our shocking start to the game.

I wouldn't want Robertson taking over again. To be honest I've no idea why we need to have Robertson and Scott Gardiner at the club. What do they both do? If they identify signings and neither could see we were in desperate need of defenders in January then I don't have much confidence in them. We must have one of the most unbalanced squads in the league.

I don't think it's harsh at all. We've kept these same guys in place far to many times when we've changed managers. From what I've seen of Wilson on the touchline he offers nothing. He stands with his hands in his pockets doing not an awful lot all game. Watching him today it seems his job is to shout over to the subs to come and get ready to come on.

Dodds must go. He doesn't have a clue what he is doing, the players aren't playing for him and the supporters are against him. The sooner he goes and takes Barry Wilson with him the better. The lack of fight, commitment, desire and quality today was an absolute disgrace. We don't have any kind of gameplan. Dodds is so far out of his depth it's unreal.

I can't defend the team or management anymore. Today was an absolute shambles and the performance was totally disgraceful. There isn't one positive thing to take from that horror show. Dodds and Wilson seem as clueless as each other. Wilson stands in the technical area all game and offers nothing. It's like he just wants people to see he's there. We have no shape, no tactics and no idea what we're doing. Someone should of mentioned to Dodds that McKay and Hardy are 5"7. How the hell do they have any chance of winning long balls punted up to them against centre halfs well over 6 foot. I've no idea what formation we were supposed to be playing come the end of the game. There was a comment a few weeks ago that this is the worst ICT team there has been which I thought at the time was harsh, but after today I would struggle to think of a worse one.

Dissapointed too see Jamieson go. Thought given a run of games he could of done well for us. Notice he has joined Clyde on loan.

I always thought Duffy was a right back. If like you say he is a centre half then we don't have any natural right back in our squad at all. Deas may well be solid at left back but we still concede goals and create very little at times. Haper may not be as solid defensively but he will create more chances going forward. Tricky one I guess, shame we couldn't put both their attributes into one player. We'd have the ideal left back.
