Ah wisna gan tae say nithin, it bein the season o' goodwin ... err goodwill ... an aa that, an' dinna want tae rattle ony particular radges cage ... but ... the bramble an' raisin wine has said itherwise, so ....

Excuse ma aged brain, but Ah'm gey sure there wis a time on this forum, which Ah still like, an' happy tae stick wi' ... that folk would spik aboot the game and events therein ... but noo, Ah canna help but think there's a tendency tae oversimplify tae the point o' bein blinkered.

Maybe 'Traffic-Cone-Considine' wis the turnin point ... scapegoat-ism and manager bashin' strollin in alongside.

Ah'll concede that Goodwin is 'not the Messiah' but ffs ... we are seein' a collection o' defenders, fa on their day, can produce performances, but canna seem, together, tae hae the same 'day'. ....

Celtic game aside, Ah canna accept it's doon tae tactics, and therefore nae aa doon tae the manager.

"Well, he signed them" is a lazy manager bashin approach. .. but todays game wis bizarre.

Captain Stew has been shaky the last few games .... seems tae have developed a cotton wool boot. Today, he singlehandedly gave the game
away ... Dinna see how 'tactics' figures.

Jak Mac ... a player I rate ... fkd up for that 3rd goal ... his options were .. 1. Blooter it! 2. stick it oot o' touch an' gie Kelle time tae get back in goal 3. tak the St M player oot - get sent aff maybe, but play stops, and we get behind the baa.... option 4? ... anythin but try an' make a pass while under pressure with the opposition surgin' forward, and naebody behind!

Stewart's series o' actions were that o' a crap defender, and a poor captain ... A captain is the guy the rest o' the team should be lookin tae for inspiration, influence and drive - that for sure is for Goodwin tae consider, but Ah jist dinna see how oor 'besieged' boss is responsible for so many balls given back tae the opposition, in oor ain half, in so many games, tae oor cost.

I think it's cos they are crap! ... but have shown against diddy teams they are 'nae bad' ... perhaps the basis o' their bein signed.

Mair likely, they show up well as individual players, with particular 10/10 attributes in certain aspects, but jist dinna perform as a unit ... like a good clown, good tightrope walker, good juggler, good acrobat ... great in a circus, but total b0ll0cks as a quiz night team.

But yeah, he signed them/named them on the team sheet.

The January window is a week away ... I for one will give Goodwill ... err ... Goodwin this window and the rest o' the season if the defence can be sorted out. Efter aa, you only need one goal tae win a game, and there are very few games we draw a blank ... unlike last season ... as evidenced by the many 'Wine Cup' rollovers
