This is utterly all over the place.
Don't think it is.
We were very good but you could see the drop off when Chalmers and Allan were in midfield last 15. Also the change to back three made us look more vulnerable.

Key players coming back for us is a game changer. KRH and Todd make us far more of a goal threat. Jak was unbelievable. Still Chris Kane to come back too.
Much more like it.
You could see the difference last 15 when we had Chalmers and Allan as our midfield compared to Hamilton and Otoo starting the game. Night and day. Also the move to back three was clearly a change for the worst.
One final word about Fagan-Walcott. Take a bow son, won everything in there. He and Jak are a toss up for MOM. Both had fantastic games.

Correct.
Well at least that's what I beleive, and it's what I was getting at in the original post.
I'll jump on this too and agree. It's too cautious.
Attack seems to be an after thought. I also refer back a couple years to Meggle calling attack as the ''salt in the soup'' when he was defending Peter Grant. It seems to be in our culture around the club to regard attack as a finishing touch to a team rather than a very important part of winning games.
This is why I see Kane as such an important player for us, as he is able to keep the ball up the park for us when we are such a negative, safe team.

Who is supposed to be scoring the goals?
I think Kane will get goals. He's been in the top division for the last 6-7 years. Quite common for players to find scoring goals easier when dropping a division. Also think he could help Matty Todd score goals too.

Grim that we're apparently so reliant on an injury prone loan player whose top goal return in a season is 10.
I think it's clear that he brings more than goals to the team though. He brings others into play and keeps the ball well. We seem to play for longer in the final 3rd when he's playing. I think he's a really good player at this level that most sides in this league would want in their starting 11 every week.

Any idea how Andy Tod Jnr is getting on?

Don't mind us struggling that much if there's some hope that things will change but under McPake I'm now doubting anything will change.
First reason is the length of contracts he's dished out to players that won't improve. For example, Wighton, Mehmet, Chalmers, O'Halloran, Breen and Comrie will never get better now. Dare I say, I'm even doubting McCann will get better despite his age. He has so many games and looks worse than he did two years ago. We're now stuck with them and they are not good enough.
Second reason is his inability to sort out our attack. He struggled last year and it should've been the number one area to improve this year but he's made it worse. At least Todorov had a goal in him. He brought Jakubiak in and they guy simply can't finish. He's not a striker. It took the whole summer for McPake to come up with that option too. Kane does look good but again we can't keep him fit and on the park. It's not just the players we have up top either though. The attacking set-up just doesn't work. Everybody plays as individuals and nobody is on the same wave length. Nobody anticipates in the box. Nobody busts a gut to get on to the end of crosses. Never many bodies in the box. Nothing has changed in two seasons. McPake I now believe doesn't have the ability to sort our attack out.
We might stay up but if we do, I think next season we will be struggling again. Too much loyalty shown to players from winning league one has hamstrung us and a manager that doesn't know how to set a team up to score.

Our hideous goalkeeper showing his worth at the first goal again today . Got to be one of the worst three year deals handed out in our history.

Wonder if they will NOW get shot of McPAKE?
No chance. Got over two years on his deal. We simply can afford it. If he keeps us up then job done for our board. Even with relegation he will keep his job imo.

…and last year?
I'm more concerned about what they are doing in the present to be honest.
Bit like how the managment performance has dropped of this year too. Not really bothered how they performed a year ago.

No. I’m as disappointed as you but to blame Kane’s absence on the Pars staff is just silly. Sometimes shit just happens. You don’t always have to find someone to blame.
You don't get a run of injuries as bad as we've had, due to bad luck. It's just blind faith to say that there's not an issue with the sports science and conditioning of players.

Just can't score goals.
We get Chris Kane in, he looks good then the useless fuckers can't keep him fit like most of the team at various points this season.
The conditioning of players this season has been so bad. Quite a few P45's needing dished out in the summer. Club has too many useless cuntos working for them.

Rumours elsewhere that Kane is out for the foreseeable. 2-0 Rovers. Glad I'm not going.
No surprise with our terrible record of keeping key players fit.
Honestly can't wait till this season ends. It's been shite. Can't be arsed going to watch us at the moment. So many at the club totally underperformed in their roles and maybe a few folk need to move on because of it.

Has yer man signed a lot of duds that will hamstring the next managers' chances of success onto long term deals?
Has yer man signed a lot of his pals and they don't look any better than what you had previously?
Has yer man signed multiple players that don't do the job you need them for ie, signed lots of decent but non-goalscoring strikers?
Does it look like you have no plan b when it's abundantly clear plan a isn't working?
Does your manager actively make substitutions that benefit the opposition more than your own team?
Does your manager repeatedly say that performances are unacceptable, that it's on him and they'll turn it around?
Finally, do the opposition look more like a team than you in pretty much most games?
If you answered yes to at least 3 of those 7 questions, I'd suggest you've got a case of James McPake-itis.
Here we go, a Dundee....McPake obsessed mink comes out the woodwork when Pars have a bad result. He left years ago. Why are you still so bitter?
You lot seem more concerned about McPake being our manager than we do. Weird fuckers.

Didn't think we were too bad tonight. If Chris Kane is back, then I think we we can win this one.

Dreadful player. No first touch. Passed the ball out the park god knows how many times. No heart. Such a poor signing.

Aye. I sadly think Raith might win this league.
God knows how Goodwin keeps getting top jobs. Terrible manager.
