First half defo killed it, Airdrie were far too comfortable and were given time and room the longer the half went on and that was how the goals came about. We lumped the ball in the air too often and when we had it on the ground, they closed us down giving us no room and we had no ideas how or what to do. The fear now is Partick copies Airdrie's tactics they will kill us to but we will need to see how the players respond.

Would agree when he hasn't come on in the last 2 games.

Hats off to Airdrie, they know how to play us, they totally close us down 2, 3, 4 men around us whenever we have the ball and then they win it and play around and through us and we gave no answer to it and the gaffer just sits there. He has no idea compared to McCabe. Quite simply bloody shocking performance and no doubt the gaffer will come out with same pish post match.

No we are not, to be honest this season we are having a way better season than anyone could have imagined to be totally honest, but for me what annoys me more than anything is that when the going gets tough like when the conditions git worse and Arbroath responded to playing with the wind in that second half and got that first goal, we didn't and neither did the management and this is not the first time this season we have failed to respond and that is what annoys me the most. Wish Murray would show his displeasure with them as maybe they would try much more. The game was just hoof it up the park and play head tennis all night. Just so frustrating.

So true, well done Arbroath, showed guts that we didn't.

Simply put not good enough, no idea how to cope out there in the second half, Murray is way far too soft with them. 3 year contract....absolute joke, piss poor tactics, players with no idea. A game of hoofball, simply shocking, total piss goalkeeping from Kev. Time for Murray to own it cos if he cannot sort this then he needs to go along with those letting him down.

IM is too soft on this and he needs to get tough with them or we need someone else to take charge. Arbroath the much better side.

Pars fans talking about bringing in Ashcroft in on loan from Dundee. Wonder if we would still be interested if he is indeed available? Personally think he would be an excellent signing but feel we won't be bringing in any more plus we are covered at CB with Corr and Masson even if IM won't play them.

Well said that man, 100 percent agree with you. I have said for months that a solid 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 is required.

Totally pathetic, no idea on the park and no idea from the dugout on how to change it. Haven't played at all since Tannadice, heven help us in 2 weeks time when united come to us. Gaffer needs to take the blame as well as the players, never expected us to be up there beside united but expected us to work hard and compete on the park but they aren't doing that and formations and tactics are rubbish.

This is difficult to watch, second to every ball, lack of movement and ideas. Airdrie's teamwork far better than us. Management also lacking any idea, oh to have Frank Connor type manager who accepted no shite.

Yeah that's every possibility

Not in the know but get the feeling it could be about either where the next project will be or maybe it could be about a major investment/tie in?

They have just totally crumbled since winning at Tannadice, they have let the plaudits got to their heads and now in a rut and Murray has no idea how to sort it. One man doesn't sort it but we really miss Stanton. Totally had enough of this 4-1-3-2 ect formations, get back to old fashioned 442 or 433, we are a soft touch and cannot defend as a team. Really sick of this

Agree with you he was unlucky in the summer with injuries. He was really good last week then gets dropped for today just stupid, just like finishing the game last week with 2 at the back. I would play him alongside a commanding cb, that hopefully we can bring in and hopefully we can maybe bring in cover at full back.
