    While i fully believe that Shabba has no hope in hell of getting us up.........

    From listening to a number of people, i believe that Shabba is not under pressure at any point in the season if the league continues as is. Should we loose a number of games, then the situation will be looked at again. I would even go as far to say that making the play offs and not getting up at the end of this season will not be regarded as failure either. Missing the play offs is a failure.

    My understanding of where we are just now is that with ST away, the last 2 seasons down here are forgotten, and the new regime have a starting point where every new target stems from that point. However, if their first target was 6 wins out of the first 9, then i cannot see us attaining that considering we still have Morton, Ayr, ICT, County and Falkirk away to play.

    One thing i am 100% sure of is that this will be a long hard season where i have doubts that Fyvie will even be able to save us! Cmon and prove me wrong lads!

    It's not about the football being brutal, if we win the league playing eye bleeding football I'll be delighted, that means being effective, we aren't

    Under Csaba went his negative play and tactics, we are ineffective, offer no threat from open play, utterly toothless

    If we were direct, and effective and creating chances then that would be a different story

    We are anything but, we are woeful in that respect against Partick abs again yesterday, toothless

    Down to the clown tactics and set up and him not being inspiring

    Before QotS's barrage yesterday we were top scorers in the division. We are currently still second.

    Great example using QotS! Their top scorer is an end of career striker on 18 for all comps this season. Our team has scored 17, with the top of the tree on 4 and a defender on 3!

    Next we will be hearing its unrealistic expecting us to score 6 goals every game!

    When did you last see us have a team under pressure with a sustained attack? Not even for a few minutes, even coming down the slope, which we are renowned for over the years having periods of 15-30 mins doing so

    His tactics are that awful that we can't even sustain an assault on teams in this division

    All subjective, the bit about us being leading scorers is a real fact.

    Being leading scorers doesn't mean much after three games in this league when we aren't after four games, so kind of a pointless fact now and just break down the goals and it only backs up the lack of threat from open play

    It's not subjective either, when did you last see us have a sustained attack in a game?? When did you see us look a threat from open play in this division under Laszlo??

    The last time was the first couple of months of his reign when fraser and fyvie carried us, wasn't downto Laszlo our his tactics as we have since found out

    Extremely negative and defensive manager, just like he was at hearts

    It's not acceptable for us to be trying to see out 1-0 leads against Arbroath, or Alloa x 2 (which btw has resulted in NO WINS) , that's his mentality though, we should be going for the jugular and ruthlessly trying to put these teams to the sword when we are ahead

    i think this is major knee jerk reaction on here

    we dropped points against alloa, prior to this we won 2 in a row and things were fine and dandy on here

    bipolar dusc
