Wit Calm down precious Not once did I suggest we had a divine right to beat yourselves, you’re literally just finding anything to get riled up over. I mean horror show as in imploding with daft mistakes throughout the games. Ferrie x 2 mistakes, Marcel Oakley selling the jerseys giving a penalty away last season at cappielow, blowing a 2-0 lead at home, failing to create absolutely anything for 55 mins against 10 men a couple months back. If anything, I respect the way Imrie has Morton playing. He’s clearly doing a fantastic job Very weird behaviour getting annoyed over that. Whatever suits your narrative I suppose

Makes sense for Kane to join Dunfermline over us if that was the case. He’s not getting ahead of Paton and at his stage of his career, I’d imagine all Kane is wanting is regular starts somewhere

We could field a team of galaticos and I’d still not be confident of beating Morton regardless of form The next couple games will be an indication as to whether we’re looking up or down for the rest of the season. Priority is really just totally avoiding ninth and building from there. Early days but Davidson’s recruitment has been really positive. Welsh, Scott and Carse look excellent additions and with the added bonus of Danny Wilson to return and maybe the possible addition of Chris Kane, it’s a really competitive squad now. I wouldn’t be devastated with a point to keep momentum going but I hope we give a better account of ourselves against Morton compared to every other previous encounter. We always produce a horror show in this fixture

I’d imagine if he joins Dunfermline, he’ll have more chance of starting as there’s no chance Paton will be dislodged. I’ll absolutely not say no to an experienced striker but I’ll be curious to see what type of role he’d play if he does indeed choose us. Suspect we’d be the favourites given the Davidson connection

In fairness, I’m still really unconvinced by Mckinstry as of right now. I’m glad he got an assist yesterday and hopefully he kicks on from that but his overall performance was poor. I think Davidson is hoping by giving him consistent starts, we’ll eventually see the Mckinstry that we were told about when signed I was begging for Davidson to sub Mckinstry and Turner only for them to link up brilliantly for the opener

Aye, completely agree with all of that. There seems to be this narrative with Thomas amongst certain fans throughout the league that he’s a luxury player with a stinking attitude when things go south and it couldn’t be further from the truth. Like you say, what I love about Thomas is even when things aren’t going for him during matches, he never hides and gives 100% every game. Not once have I ever questioned his attitude or desire even when we’ve an absolute shambles for large parts of this season. He’s a disliked character across many fanbases but guess a large contribution to that is cause he’s very good at football.

I demand to see that Dom Thomas right now. An absolute beauty of a goal Best player in the division when he’s at it. Davidson has got Thomas flying and back to the player he was last season Josh Scott- Proper player. A big upgrade on the wing back role from what I’ve seen so far Buzzing

I know Dunfermline weren’t exactly going to be brimming with confidence going in to this but my goodness they were dreadful. Can’t think of a worse performance of an opposition side against us all season. Truly abysmal. The only tactic consisted of launching throw ins into the box and hoping something would fall. It looked like the players had given up for McPake in all honesty Dom Thomas in full flight is an absolute joy of a footballer. 1st half I felt like he might of been trying too hard which led to him losing possession on a couple of occasions but the 2nd half was tremendous. Complete control and deserved the result. What a difference an actual football manager makes. Within 5 games, we now look a decent championship team again compared to the basket case under Veldman Motm for me again was Jack Thomson. He’s a premiership ready player now who I have no doubts will not be at the club next season. His control on the ball, physicality and driving runs from centre back were a delight and he’s been fantastic all season. Xavier Benjamin might also be one of worst players I’ve seen in a fair while. Hoaching performance

Yeah I’m really happy with that. Been an incredibly mature performer the moment he’s came up from the youths and I think under Davidson he’s going to kick on even further. A future QP captain I’d say

Can tell he’s quite talented but lacked a lot qualities that can’t really be quantified (heart, resilience, fight). Far too lightweight and his impact on games fell off a cliff very quickly. Not suited or good enough for championship football at this stage of his career

Can’t stress enough how important getting a result today was. Genuinely never felt so happy to see a QP side grind and play ugly football if it means getting a positive result. Far too often, even going back last season we always had a soft touch about us but under Davidson we seem to be learning about the ‘dark arts’ a lot more. You can tell from Davidson’s interviews how much he loves players getting stuck in and flying into tackles. Joshua Scott was a prime example of that as a sub, immediately flying in to win the ball. You have to be able to do that if you’re to compete in the championship The game wasn’t pretty at all but when you have a player like Dom Thomas, you’ve always got a chance of creating something from nothing. The guy has been dealt a hard card this season getting plucked everywhere on the pitch, expected to win games of football on his own but when you actually play him out wide in a settled structure, you immediately see how much better he is. His individual 2nd half performance was tremendous and deserved the goal Bannon arguably had his best game of the season at the back and even though I’ve criticised him lots this season, Tizzard really grew into the game 2nd half and dealt with anything that fell in the box. Really pleased for him, should do his confidence the world of good Can’t say I was too impressed with Inverness at all. They had a lot of possession around the box but I can’t recall many if any real clear cut chances (bizzarely Ferguson suggests otherwise)Interesting recruitment strategy signing a host of young guys from down south and seeing a lot experience leave the door. There’s a noticeable difference from the PL 2 division compared to the Scottish championship and I’d be concerned that these guys might take a while to adapt to the pace of things.

We’re slowly looking like an actual championship level team nowadays compared to the shambles under Veldman. We look a lot more resolute and being able to grind wins away at Raith and Inverness are prime examples of having a legitimate manager in Davidson at the club. The difference in one month has been fantastic By no means safe but I feel having a far more structured set up alongside a couple match winners in Thomas and Paton will prove to be the difference in finishing 8th instead of 9th

Horrid game. Thankfully Inverness were slightly more horrid. Biggest result of the season so far

Ferrie Mcpherson Bannon Wilson Robson/Scott/Bruce - Take your pick Thomson Carse Thomas Turner Mckinstry Paton Get this team on the pitch please. Mckinstry needs to eventually come good so I’d be inclined to give him the trust in a big game to show himself

He’s really not. It’s just harder for you to believe as he probably had his worst ever game last season at Cappielow, which was indeed a horrendous performance. Despite our position in the league, he’s been tremendous for us this year. We’d be below Arbroath by a considerable margin without him

That’s McKenna confirmed to Bournemouth. Really smart move to go there instead of Man United I’d say. Think there’s a realistic pathway of breaking into the team over the coming years You could tell from the off he was a special talent. The performances away at Arbroath and even Raith (despite losing) were tremendous. Had the personality and build of a 28 year old seasoned pro. I really don’t think It will be a longtime before hearing his name in the limelight again

Unless the club are waffling, it states he’s had loan spells although I can’t find any info on them

Wasn’t expecting someone in that position but curious to see how that impacts on Bruce and Robson Cant say it bodes well for Robson’s chances but he’s been on the decline for a while now. Something needed changed and I’m glad Davidson is addressing it

New signing incoming Please no Ali Crawford

Going by Davidson’s interview, seems like he’s trying to get one more in before the deadline

Wilson is an excellent piece of business (on paper at least). If he’s anywhere near the player he was at rangers/Hearts, he’s easily up there as one of best in the division. A huge upgrade on what we currently have. If I’m greedy, I’d probably want another centre back on top of that to allow Thomson in midfield again, especially when Fox is injured and Tizzard is…..Tizzard

Absolutely not He was terrible at Morton last season

Yeah that’s class Would be delighted with that

Davidson must be fuming this is what’s he’s been able to sign this month. He’s confidently stated on almost every interview how much the squad needed experience and it simply hasn’t happened other than Welsh. We must of been turned down by so many players I’ll not write Crole off until seeing him on the pitch, you’ve simply got to give him a chance to prove himself. We’ve had our fair share of garbage on loan, especially in attack so unfortunately the expectation is set at a very low bar for now. He just needs to be impactful from the bench for the last 15-20 mins. Whether that’s providing some sort of pace or presence up top Critical that a defender(experienced!) is signed tomorrow or else we’ll be in league 1
