Watching the Cove v QP game on tv tonight and we’re so far off this standard it’s scary. Cove winning 1-0 at HT but both teams creating loads of chances, playing fast attacking football. There’s no way Cove are going to be relegated, so the way things are looking it’s between us and Accies for automatic relegation, unless another team gets drawn into it or we hit some form.

2-0 Cove. We’re in big trouble.

Yep. They’ve also got guys playing who were with them in the HL yet we won’t give Shanks a game. Scully got another 2 tonight. Their attacking options are head and shoulders above ours.

It’s a disgrace the state of our strike force. After a season like last, we should have had guys queuing up to sign for us but instead we have the worst attack in the league... by miles. Cove are also part time and newly promoted so there’s no reason they should have a forward line much more competent than ours.

We’ve absolutely fucked it.

It's only November and just 13 games into the season - but we are already in relegation trouble.

Lose today and we will be cast adrift at the foot of the table with Hamilton.

Today is a must win match - we need 3 points, anything less and we are heading down a one way street.

In Bobby Linn we trust - can Bobby pull us out of this mess ? You can guarantee 100% that he will do his best.

We’ve just had 3 must win home games in a row - 1 win, 2 defeats, 1 goal scored.

Winning today would be very welcome but I just can’t see it. As I said in a previous post, we only scored once (a fluke) v ICT in 6.5 games last season when we were scoring loads and winning most weeks, so really can’t see that changing today. 0-0 best we can realistically hope for.

Watching on a stream so it's hard to fully judge, Formation seems a bit all over the place, Expect a lot more from Allen, looks like the games just passing Shanks by too, need to get Linn involved 

Would nice to have a proper update regarding the players missing today

Says another about the position we are in with how quiet it is on here,

Thought it was a decent point yesterday but at this point we are needing some victorys,

Though Allen wa good last week but yesterday he was absolutely anonymous again, expect so much more from him,

3 points is a must on Saturday

You can rest assured if we had lost yesterday this thread would have been heaving with depressing posts.

Lads dug out a good point and could have nicked it at the end.  Shanks goal was a strikers goal and his goal to chances ratio isn’t bad really…play him and he’ll get a sniff/score…that’s what strikers do. Scottie Allan needs to keep it really simple and make those first touches and short passes instead of looking for the glory pass all the time.  Gaston….legend! ‘Mon the Lichties

If you lads are looking for some further positivity after your draw away to Caley we could well be without Mitch for Saturday's visit to Gayfield.

Our latest match report, written by Richard Gordon, suggests he will miss Saturday, however, his 6th yellow of the league campaign came on Saturday and the SFA rules says the suspension is 14 days after this. There could be small print I'm missing.

Should be a good game. Our results have improved of late but there's a lot riding on this and our away points tally is still lacking.
