    As I've said it will take more than a new manager.....but it's a start.

    The whole club owners, staff, fans need a complete change of ethos.

    Possible Playoffs hiding numerous faults but that's all it's doing....we are in serious trouble of going down.

    I can’t see Keyes employing a British CEO, there lies our biggest problem, we just hope when he sticks the list of 250 applicants on the dart board, he gets Gary Anderson innto throw the dart

    Definitely set him back in his development.unfortunately it looks like our manager isn’t in any danger of the sack.plus for me was the new signing from Wigan.

    This assumption that McPake is here for this season whatever happens on the pitch needs to be challenged. If there are no supporters at the games it might force a rethink.

    If football is irrelevant why have a development that includes a stadium?

    Have not seen the game so I can't comment on it but I was absolutely shocked by the initial team selection. I saw that there was universal criticism before the kick off. There will be some intellectual rigour behind tonight's selection and I would love to know what it was. Tombola selections have been a major weakness for some seasons. It's almost as though if the fans can't believe in the selection there's a mountain for the team to climb before a ball is kicked.

    You are right that I am keen to see this McPake project through but that has been based on an assumption that there would be some signs of progress. 2nd half against Motherwell seemed to me to have the team heading in the right direction. The signing of Dorrans , I thought was a good thing. He has been consistently praised and this seemed to be a sign that McPake was actually getting things right. New winger also seemed to address an often repeated weakness in our team. I thought that we would have a straight 442 with Callachan adding some punch to midfield. The possibility of the new winger sending in crosses, and a settled looking defence.
    None of this materialised and for me it looked as though McPake just over thought what was needed.

    Somehow we need to impress on the players that they are not too good for this league. They have to sort things out and they need clear tactics from McPake. We are still in a promotion play off space so I don't think we need to get rid of McPake but there needs to be a big shake up and I'm not sure that McPake can deliver that. I would get Nicholl and McPake in front of the board and ask them what do they think they are playing at. If the board are uncertain what questions to ask they just need to spend half an hour looking at the match day threads to see what is wrong with the team. Ask the question WHY are ther still Tombola selections and team tactics that are obviously not being followed by the players.
