He's maybe still hanging on to some forlorn hope that they will eventually do a job for him, if that's the case then time is rapidly running out, at some point he will realise that they aren't ever going to be good enough and probably make his job a whole lot easier at the end of the season when the exodus get their jotters.

That's too simplistic a take on things.  I agree that McGuffie and Nesbitt have been poor but you could also argue they were central to what limited 'success' we have had this season.  Only a few weeks ago people were lauding our LC 'success' - we only made it out of the group due to Nesbitt's goal v Hibs and McGuffie's goal v Clyde.

The circumstances why they still play are TOTALLY within McGlynn's control.

What can’t be argued is that both have been at the club for over a year and have not contributed anywhere near enough over that period.

Nesbitt has had 2 or 3 decent games since last September. Mcguffie likewise.

Three league games and we’ve completed a quarter of our season. Throw in the Partick cup game, interesting to see where we are at the beginning of October.

If we are serious about challenging for the league title & not going too far behind the current leader then it needs to be 9pts really.

Results in this league never fail to surprise every week. Airdrie losing 6-0 to FCE, us losing to Kelty another. 
The one prediction I know will happen is there will be more surprises in the coming weeks and months.

Remains to be seen how many more times a shit result from us will be seen as a surprise.

Definitely not a surprise result.  They were also considered by many to be one of the favourites for going up

[Andy Dufresne]

What a night that was,the reaction of the ball boys for the 4th goal lol

Based on the records from the start of the season of course it was a result that was not expected. Games are not won or lost in the betting shop

Really?  Perversely inevitable then? 

Kelty P5 L4 GD-6 Pts 1, before they played us.

I think the league is sufficiently string that 2 will go up again this season, but its already looking fairly ominous for me that everyone has had a fucking crap result except Dunfermline. Feels like a bit of a comfort blanket to say "there will be twists and turns" when what the early evidence suggests is that this will be true for the rest, whilst they slowly but surely widen the gap and canter it.

It's early, but that's my early feel.

We’ll know more after our next 2 games. 6 points would be a great boost.

So would I tbh.

How far we’ve fallen…….

[Bigbri Bairn]

Kelty's only point before our game was against Dunfermline. Worth a thought?

I think that we all know that by now.

See the crowd and listen to the noise. Wish we could still get that excitement. Miss the feel of being a regular part of the "choir ". Far too sanitised these days. Great game

That was a wonderful night but the atmosphere only a few days ago against QoS was pretty good.

If the team perform the crowd get right behind them.

It’s become our standard coping mechanism. When we have yet another horrible result, we look back and remember better days. After last Saturday’s dire performance, looking forward isn’t particularly appealing.
