Thread: Oh dear...

    Oh dear...

    0-1 at half time, a complete gift by Samson against the run of play.

    Accies 0-2 Killie elsewhere.

    Full time 2-3, another three points absolutely given away.

    Hamilton also lost.

    Absolutely dire. We had all the ball in the world in the first half and done the square route of f*** all with it. One shot at goal from Moult. On the other hand, all it takes for a team to score against us is one attack. Yet another f*** up from the goalkeeper, a keeper who should have been axed months ago. In the second half Dundee showed us for what we are, a clueless team that can't defend worth a f***. Poor at the back, light weight in midfield and take moult out that side we are totally screwed. As for the manager, no change from Mcghee really. We still need to score at least two or three goals a game to have any chance of getting three points. No doubt after the game he'l rant on about the positives, i certainly can't see any positives from that today. I was willing to give him a chance, i know he has to get his own players in but as i said at the time, cheap option.

    Total lack of belief in the team,we dominate possession and contrive to walk tha ball into the net.Not one shot taken from outside the box.The age old problem of what we do with the ball when we have a corner in our favour,it still appears to be hit and hope it finds a team mate.No manager could work with Ainsworth in his present form,one of two things has to happen with moaning Skippy in our next four games,either play him up front with Moult dropping Bowman out of the starting eleven or drop Skippy.We all know Caddens is never a full back,sowhydowe persist playing him there his form is going downhill rapidly has to be played out wide in the midfield or are we trying to make him look off form so no one will put in a bid in for him.As for the excuse of a keeper I wouldn't play him again this season he has easily cost us between 12 to 15 points this season.

    There is nothing to say that if the goal had stood we would have got a draw in the game, as the score at the time was 1-3. Everything after that point would have evolved differently, so there is nothing to say we would have scored again. But it does not change the fact that it was a dreadful call by the officials

    In defence of Ainsworth he delivered the corner for Heneghan's header(the phantom goal) and he also set up Cadden's goal with a well placed ball across the 6 yard box.

    Don't want to offend you JWOK, but FFS, Petrocelli couldn't put a defence up for that little, lazy, lightweight of a koont Ainsworth. Need to get rid and have him fleece some other clubs finances.

    Jwok Ainsworth had been on the park for about 20 minutes before that and hadn't touched the ball.his effort was none existent he ran to positions where the ball couldn't be played to,still not convinced his well placed pass was not an attempt by him at goal.Yes without doubt he has ability but his commitment and effort to the team is ZERO a luxury you cannot have in a team fighting for its league status

    It was the luxury of Ainsworth (and Johnson) which kept us up in 2015.

    I'd punt him in summer, like many on here I've had enough of him, but his record in producing goals/assists when on the pitch is almost unmatched in our squad - only Moult gets close which given their positions is hardly a fair comparison. And he has always produced in the past when it's contract time.

    We have plenty players who can run around trying hard, finding a way to include one of the very, very few who can occasionally play football should be a priority.
