Ideally for me I would try off loading Max Little and Harry Sharp, then look to bring in genuine competition/replacement for Mehmet. Not sure how realistic that would be in the January window but certainly business I would like to see soon. I think another CB. It not only effects our defence when we lose a CB to injury, but it effects our midfield options too. Again, not sure how easy it is to get a goalscorer at this time of year but clearly need somebody who's more effective infront of goal that our current options. The amount of good chances we miss is ridiculous. McPake has even highlighted the difference a Brian Graham would make with the desire to get on the end of crosses. Our guys don't to have either the ability to finish or knack of being in the right place. Wighton probably the best at finishing but games pass him by too much when he starts.

AJ's attempt at introducing a back three was just dreadful. Ashcroft was a part of that short lived back three and looked like a fish up at tree as Yogi used to say.

I was meaning from goalkeeper errors. Didn't state that very well in my original post. I think we pretty decent defensively.

Mehmet is a costly mistake. Sharp needs to go back to Dundee. Little is a waste of a wage too. With those two wages we need a genuine 1st choice keeper at top end championship level. Try down south or something different to the small pond we recruit from. We've hemorrhaged far too many goals for this to go on any longer. Having a crap keeper and no half decent goalscorers is holding us back. The Chalmers and Allan issue can at least be solved by putting Otoo and Hamilton into midfield when out defenders return.

Going have to sign a replacement for Deniz. Again showing he's just not up to it at this level.

Why wouldn't it? The rest of the teams are clearly not any better. We have also had half our starting 11 out so far this season. I think if we can get a near full squad we will have quite a bit more to give.

McPake was asked about Wotherspoon at our meet the manager night this week. He said that Wotherspoon was looking to get a move to play in Canada.

Surprised to hear that. The guy has been top notch everytime I've seen him. Made an unreal save against Jakubiak when you beat us at East End. Thought Ayr were pretty good that day.

Think Inverness will certainly be in with a shout. I was pretty impressed with Ayr when we played them. Think they will have a say in the play off battle.

Good money for the club then. Maybe bring in Jordan Marshall as a replacement.

Good Falkirk man Gregor Abel.....

McPake has already said that will take our 1 year option on him. He's going nowhere unless somebody pays a six figure sum.

Listening to James interview. He said we were comfortable? Not at the game today but really surprised at that. Thought we were massively under strength today. To beat Airdrie on their home patch with that 11 is impressive.

Livi for Pars? C'mon min

What a win. Would've taken a draw considering our injury problems. Can't wait to see what happens when our players are back

May sound pessimistic but I'm not looking too much into that Arbroath win. Thought they were worse than most the league 1 teams we played last year. We will be missing all 3 first choice centre backs and we are just so wasteful with our chances. It was good to get the Raith game out of system and that Arbroath game was the perfect fixture to get the confidence up again. These games are always close but got a feeling we might lose this narrowly.

Not worried about relegation. Hopefully at some point the injuries will ease up and we'll be fine. Think we might nick a 4 place play-off this year.

You guys no think not going full time when you were on the up was a mistake? Think you have a decent fan base and would've shown a bit of ambition to move the club forward long term.

Arbroath are a mess. Couldn't believe how bad they were on Tuesday. Think they will save you automatic relegation.

Get plastic pitches to feck. I'm glad the game was postponed. Too many injuries.

Sweeping a portacabin and looking after 1 plastic pitch shouldn't amount to much.

Arbroath we're so bad. Great to get the win but they really were shockingly bad. Again loads of missed chances and our injury curse strikes again. 3 players off injured. KRH looks totally fucked again. Fisher our only natural CB we had left couldn't put any weight on his right foot. Hopefully Owen Moffat won't be too long. Going to be very short for Saturday by the look of it. The main positives though is a very helpful 3pts in our game in hand, Wighton getting a double and clean sheet for a keeper lacking confidence.

Thought it was fairly obvious that MOH wasn't a great signing. Was willing to give the benefit of the doubt but he's done nothing but reinforce my initial thoughts.

Yup, enjoy it bud. Rovers are miles ahead. Canny be bothered going through what's right and wrong with us. Would love to say we'll be back but we've been utter shite for over a decade at this level now. Without proper investment in ready made top end championship players I can see us being run into the ground and fighting relegation for the next couple years. Spending millions on an academy but running the first team squad down at the same time. The board have to wake up to what's going on here. Need stop thinking about investments by selling young players and start signing players capable of competing for promotion.. We should be aiming for the top division but the lack of hunger in the boardroom for an achievement like that is worrying.

Paper thin squad. Play three at the back and have three centre backs in the squad(two injured). The strikers Wighton and Jakubiak are howling. Chalmers without the ball is a man down. Above that, I think we have some good young players on long contracts but the problem is the experienced players around them. No leadership outside of Bene. There's a serious lack of investment in ready made championship footballers. Guys like Chalmers, Comrie, Wighton, Jakubiak and Allan were shown up tonight. Way off it. There needs to be a bit of investment in good top end championship players the next couple of windows but unfortunately we have some amount of keech on 2-3 year deals now.
