Craig Winters was in defence??
I just don't rate us up front, McNaught could be good if he actually shot more than once in a blue moon.
Fair enough people saying he has bags of 'potential', but that means absolutely f.uck all if he doesn't realise it.
Dobbie is a fat wreck who isn't interested in anything but pies and beer, get shot of him.
Dillon isn't a left back, Brittain should be on until full time.
McCabe had us playing great in pre-season then when the league campaign starts he turns us into an absolute dross team to watch and makes some bizarre tactical decisions.
Sort it out for god sake

I refer you to this:
Where exactly does this optimism come from?
We are shite up front, a shambles in midfield and even our 'solid' defence is being undermined by Davie Craig and his one man attempt to help the opposition.
I just don't see how this naive cry of 'let's get stuck into them' blah blah blah helps us.
The team is a mess, players out of position, fat unfit rejects starting, untested under 19's players up front when they have scored 1 goal in what about 7 matches?
McNaught could be decent if he had someone that had an ounce of guile and creativity and striking prowess up front.
It is getting to the stage where if we don't get a result at Elgin we will need to be seriously worrying if we can even muster a playoff place.
Arbroath aren't even the best side in this division and we couldn't conjure up an attack and we were playing at home?

No wonder we struggle with an unfit, loaned striker and an under 19's player that is scared to shoot.
Coupled with a defence shakier than a North Sea Ferry (at the moment) and a midfield the invisible Man wouldn't look out of place in and you have one shambles of a team.
Play the players in the correct position for a start, Brittian at left back, Geggan right, Canning and Craig centre, get Gentile to f.uck, go 4-4-2 diamond shaped with Winter breaking it up, Bagan playing off the front and Borris and Dillon/Boyle hugging the touchline looking to get the crosses in to fat Dobbie and McNaught.
I can't see it happening though, if he doesn't sort it soon we will be screwed Paul Martin style.

It isn't Brittains fault he is played out of position or not at all, it isn't Dillons fault everyone can see he isn't a left back and is still played there.
It is the fault of McCabe for playing players where they are ineffective (Gentile right wing, Winters defence, Brittain left back, Dillon left back etc) and the fault for getting an unfit Dobbie on loan.
He needs a ball winner in midfield and who does he stick in there?
Chris 'I shat myself' Gentile
He isn't good enough to anchor a midfield.
Ferguson last season was a player that could anchor a midfield, win the ball cleanly and pass it on to a more creative player.
The team isn't terrible, it is some shambolic decision making in the dressing room that is costing us games.
Fair enough David Craig has been made a twat of on more than one occasion and Craig Winter has been dodgy at best, but the manager needs to take some of the blame for this poor start.
And barely managing a few shots (if any) on goal against a team like Arbroath at home is frankly awful.

Our best player last year???
The season when we won about 8 games in the league?
It was shite for shite last year and you know it.
You make it sound like a dead cert, when it isn't even close.
The Shire done them 5-0 for f.uck sake!

I'll take a 2-0 to Dumbarton

Elgin were crap when we played them.
Especially the number 3 and the fat number 10 and the sub that got sent off for 2 bookings in about a minute.

I just wish that McNaught would shoot more frequently.
Well taken goal on Saturday, he had bags of time and showed composure.
Only thing the team needs is:
McNaught to shoot more
Ryan Borris to stay up the right wing and make runs there
Davie Craig to hammer the ball out the park when being closed down
