    Agreed.

    The plus side is Mickey kept us up and has earned the right to be judged on a full season with new players hopefully coming in.

    The negative side is that we haven't looked like a FOOTBALL team at all, bar the freak demolition of the dreadful Dons.

    We have no pattern to our play, we have no fluidity, we are worse than hopeless in possession. We play the long ball far too often, we have no patience and we have no cutting edge. We look disjointed a lot of the time. People say well what can you expect with the lack of quality but it CAN be done with players of lower quality, we were outplayed by many teams this season including Partick and Forfar. Partick were unlucky they didn't bury us before halftime.

    We're extending contracts to mediocrity and that is a very big concern for me. Connolly Pawlett Harkes Clark and Butcher are not the future I want to see.
    And, is it too much to say we've made Shankland a poorer player in this process, not that relevant to my main point, but we have and that's unacceptable.
