Left the game with a sore head, don't know if it was the drum or the game,

We are so poor, and absolutely stole a point tonight,

 

Taking away the goal (which came from a keeper mistake) and Gaston’s performance that was awful again. It’s like we are playing with no midfield.

We were absolutely woeful today all over the park (with the exception of Gaston) and were very lucky to come away with a draw, couldn’t have complained if morton put 4 or 5 past us. Been impressed by balde since he came in but the amount of times he gave the ball away today was ridiculous,  I’d be tempted to put gold back in there. I hope we don’t have to see either olusanya or the other one play much more because that is a hard watch, they both can’t even control the ball never mind hold it up.

I watched it on tv and the lack of a combative midfield was stark. The amount of times Morton won the ball in acres of space and took it up the park unchallenged was unreal.

That was a huge fluke result - a combination of terrible finishing, huge chunks of good luck (for us) and bad luck (for them), and an incredible performance from Gaston kept it from being 5 or 6-0

We’ve used up every “get out of jail” card in the box tonight. Play like that again, against anyone, and we’re getting skelped.

Some really poor individual performances again tonight and can someone please tell us, yet again, what improvements have been made to the squad? I certainly can’t see any.

We battled it out and deserved the draw. Well done Sean for his goal. Gaston was great. Stewart is our best left back. McKenna was his best self in the second half.

The only positives out the game were Gaston and we managed to steal a point,

Olusanya and Komolafe can just leave now, they are on par with Corfe, 

We obviously aren't gonna change the way we play but can we just play out best players to give us a fighting chance, again everyone under the sun has had a decent chance on the wing to show what they can do but it's clear to everyone Linn is better than them all, Why not play him from the start? What actually the worst that can happen,

Agreed. Now is the time to play all of our long-term guys from the start in every game. They know what’s needed and have seldom let us down, individually or collectively.

Get Stewart, Gold, Linn and Hilson (yes even Hilson) in the staring 11 along with Gaston, Little, O’Brien, Hamilton and McKenna.

That’s a core that’ll battle and give 100% for the team.

Honestly hope to never see olusanya again sick fed up of how poor he’s been. On par with corfe and that’s some going. Thought balde started well but when the team shape went to shit so did his performance as he had to do the job of 2 midfielders and think it got the better of him. 
 

derek fucking Gaston 👏👏👏👏

Dick needs to stop starting a weakened team and start the team we’d  be generally finishing with cause it’s normally much better. 
 

moving forward I’d go 

gaston

stewart tob little hammy 

balde/gold heatherington

dow McKenna linn 

sean

Honestly mental Olusanya played in the English championship last season. He's utter fucking horseshit. Every week is more evidence that dick has lost the plot, get rid.

He’s stinking. Now that Adarkwa is fit he must start.

Both Cove and Accies trailing 2-0. Both then getting an absolute hiding would be great 

We keep talking about must wins but imagine us drawing ourselves to safety 🤣🤣🤣 Sounds so ludicrous and very risky but Hamilton & Cove are absolute pipe and completely tinpot 💩💩💩 If anything that GD between us is only going to get much larger over time in our favour 🇱🇻⚽🔥

But we are “absolute pipe” as well. That shouldn’t go unmentioned

Not much between the bottom three sides and the points show that. Clearly a massive gulf, at times, between us and the rest.

Doubt 8th will be a high target this year. What's the lowest tally for 8th since the Championship formed?
