I'm guessing Doolan is deed? Unused sub in the biggest game of the season.


The Fish needs to start but when we go 2 up top starting a headless chicken like Storey ahead of Doolan is baffling. I write this on the assumption Miles ran around creating f**k all and being nowhere near a shot on goal as usual.

“The game didn’t start great and so it proved. It was fast and frantic with a lot of long balls. Just as it was starting to settle down, County went and got their goal. They kicked on from it and we did not get a reaction from it, which was the most disappointing thing. We knew the first goal was going to be pivotal tonight and we just didn’t respond.”

With the Jags trailing by two goals, the gaffer made a double half time substitution in a bid to get back in the match, but it was to prove in vain.

“The game wasn’t over at half time and we brought on Erskine and Spittal in a bid to get that goal back. We thought County might have been vulnerable; the same as us, if we got a goal back in the second half but at 3-0 the game is over. Our defending was so poor and it didn’t let our forward thinking players get into the game. Ross County gave us three warnings before they got their third goal and that was disappointing. We didn’t see enough from the players.”

The side slid to the bottom of the Ladbrokes Premiership table after tonight’s defeat and with just six games left, Alan knows the side are running out of time to climb the table.

“It will be a tough run in and we’ve got to concentrate on it. The good thing is we are still within touching distance of the teams above us. Tonight’s game gave us the opportunity to close the gap on the teams above us and we didn’t take it. We’re going to have that chance over the next few games and while it is there we have to get results.

“We’ve got another game this Saturday, albeit a very tough game against a top six side. It is time to go and stand up. We can’t hide and feel sorry for ourselves after tonight’s result.”

Dearie me...

Been carrying an injury all season. Put off surgery but he probably shouldn’t have now because now he’ll miss some of next season most likely.

Congratulations on an emphatic win last night County. I am sure your new management team are more than capable of having County play at a higher standard and good enough to stay in the top flight. Best wishes for rest of season.
