Also the amount of times we lost the ball around 10-15 yards to the box was criminal, that’s where the second goal came from. Fuming thinking back.

That was absolutely pathetic, Sanders and McGinty are laughably bad. The full game looked like we had just picked 11 guys up and flung them together for the first time. McGinley not even on the bench, apparently a mix of not fit and just push. Who’s sanctioned a contract for him? Just throwing money away for the sake of bringing in a left back. Amartey getting MOTM and everyone just laughing summed us up.

Wasn’t at it, but was told it wasn’t Fanbase that they used, was another ticketing company that one of the board members uses for other events, might be wrong though. When you buy online just now you can download the ticket straight away rather than waiting for the email. If you got to your history and click on the link where it booked it might still be there.

Yeah think so, they trialled a new one at the Ayr v Celtic (woman’s) cup game that apparently went well.

You just worry about the trap door into League 2.

Yep. I also think it's half the case of Brown realising this set of players can't play the way he really wants to. So runners and get the ball forward fast is the best option. He doesn't have the full backs and 1, maybe 2 centre halves at a push can play from the back like he'd want to.

Yeah, I was quite bemused last week, but he does seem to be doing his homework on opposition so I will settle this week...maybe.

Looks like we're going to have lovely weather for a change tomorrow

Restricted view tickets in a stand that is a third empty, they're having your pants down here.

If you're eating from there, then a lengthy time in a cubicle won't be uncommon.

Never mind #KateGate it should be #MathieGate

At left back yeah. If we fling Sanders in at left back with McGinty coming back in at centre half then we’re wasting £x on McGinley. I’m assuming McGinty was dropped on Saturday unless carrying a knock. Either way, with Reading out and Musonda away, McGinley should be starting and 1 of Sanders/McGinty partnering Stanger.

Was looking at the table earlier, hilarious that a win on Saturday and at home to Airdrie next Friday, puts us in 4th place, albeit for 24 hours until other games are played . Just shows you the ridiculousness of this league. The likes of the next 2 games were the ones I was thinking Brown will be focusing on to manage us to safety. Think Musonda will be away for this one, possibly allows McGinley to come in to left back and a back 4 of McAllister/Stanger/Sanders/McGinley. Then apart from Dowds, it's a tombola draw for the other 5 outfield positions.

Doubt he’ll be here, think the reason Brown shunted him out on loan was he was trying to give him pointers in training about what he could do to improve and wasn’t really taking anything in.

Voice was away on holiday last week and not due back to Saturday afternoon.

Just came in to say that haha I got 11/5 with hills online. Sorry Raith fans.

We don't do clean sheets. Expect at least 1 ICT goal.

Looking forward to seeing Shankland v Broadfoot.

Yeah ideally would go with that, maybe McKenzie for Willoughby as he seems to have a decent partnership with Dowds. Still not sure on the keeper, but not 100% convinced Albinson would be doing any better.

On keepers, Ecrepont getting rave reviews again this week from big ears Kennedy after EK win over East Stirling. Wish he was just that tad older and would love to see him challenging for No.1 next season.

Defence wise, we've lost McAllister to an injury, Stanger suspension and illness, which meant McAllister was rushed back. Reading to an injury, Mutch to an injury so it has been very patchy with Tomlinson RB and Musonda LB. Lost Chalmers to an injury and just coming back now, although has been out of form.

Problem is, if we go with the style of play the players are capable of/used to, it's just a regeneration of Bullen. Shitfest ourselves to safety and it's a factory reset in the summer.

Any idea where behind closed door game is?

Main thing is over the next few weeks and months is winning our home games. If we can pick something up at Inverness etc that will be a bonus, but 3 very winnable games v Queens Park, Airdrie and Arbroath with Morton in there as well who seem to be hitting some form of minor slump. Get the points from they games and things don't seem as bad. Easier said than done. Brown needs to find a way of getting the best out of Chalmers from now until May as well. Think the break this week may be just what we need.
