We all know that the underlying problem is the lack of funding to compete on a level playing field with most of the other clubs in the Championship

That's just not true. We can compete with everyone in this division. Never once been outclassed. Weve done better against the bigger teams than the ones below us!

Yes a couple more players would help but we never normally flirt with relegation year in year out. If that was the case then yes it would be a valid point.

The problem is the person using the steering wheel not the vehicle

So what is being now said is that our threadbare squad is not a consequence of the clubs lack of resources but the managers poor leadership? As we have demonstrated numerous times this season when we have a full fit first team on the field we are clearly as good as anyone in this division but injuries resulting in players being forced to play out of position due to the lack of depth in the squad has hurt us badly on a lot of occasions. I and others have pointed this out on many occasions that this would likely come back to bite us this season which it has.

Surely your not blaming injuries for our league position?
We brought in 5? players in the window, no striker which we've badly needed for the last two seasons, one a crock and another who's a mystery, Aird.

Remind me who got rid of the promising youth players again?

You want to know why we are down at the bottom and it's as per this thread title, tactics or lack of.

Losing a late goal to Alloa at home.

Going to Morton away and sticking 8 defenders on.

Playing Dobbie up front on his own.

Choosing to play a centre half instead of an attacking Winger.


Going for draws at home instead of trying to win games.

If Naysmith had a million quid to spend we would be no where near the play offs. We've screwed up so many times this season and it's now coming back to bite us.

here here deek thats prob the best and most accurate post iv seen on here for ages .solution ,end naysmiths contract ,put the queens job out there on the market for applicants ,select the right man with most experience and success rate ,give him a competitive budget for this division ,then trust him to bring in the right quality of players to fit his style ,as we only have i think 1 player under contract atm for next term ,a new man will have to keep the ones he sees good enough and bring in his own players anyways .
