    It's mad that I would have taken your arm off at the start of the season for a top six finish and yet now, sixth place would feel like a disaster! I hope we get a decent run in because I'm currently feeling less than convinced that we will not struggle next season. A lot of players are acting like they are on their holidays already and it is up to JG to fix this. This run in will tell us more about our management team than it will our players. I'm wanting to see some fight and passion. The season is not over and I want to see the fans get the performances they deserve. We WILL NOT get a chance like this to get so high in the table next season....we have to go for it!

    Well thats the players telt

    I thought it was a good team that started on paper against hibs

    If the club want to boost season ticket sales then its down to performances and results, the loyal majority have already renewed

    I never seen the game against Hibs but it appears the manager did sort things out at half time and we were unlucky not to take something in the end?

    He brought on the wingers who made us get up the park quicker, made the ball stick and gave the Hibs rear guard something to think about. Midfield with Babunski in it was to cramped and VDS didn't do much holding the ball up. No surprise these two were taken off. In other news Loick Ayina has been released. Mibbee not a centre-half but as a defensive midfielder he would do well alongside Docherty or Sevelj. A bit of pace and height in midfield.

    It's a bit a cliche to say he had something/there is a player in there, but he Def did have some raw potential, powerful, athletic, it was raw in capital letters though, some of his decision making and lunges were frightening and x rated, reminiscent to butcher early on. Whether you can coach that out a player I don't know, doesn't seem like he has advanced much career wise past couple of seasons either. Some players have a skillset suited to Scottish football mind.

    It?s getting worried

    Hearing some dissatisfaction from JG in his after match comments. Players tired as too small a squad

    We should sign JG up for another couple of years on decent contract

    I am worried what the atmosphere is like with Gallagher and moult off

    Feels really negative suddenly

    Distracting from huge matches next week

    I wouldn't be giving Goodwin a contract offer until next May. Bringing in a coach for the strikers is more important. I wonder if George O'Boyle would be interested...........

    Still think we should be running a reserve team so us fans can get to see what is in reserve. Youngsters playing with senior pros brings them on better than the current setup imo. If we did sign Ayina it would be good to see him in the reserves and also bring in trialists as well, as you were allowed to do that years ago.

    We had a player on trial from Southhampton in the reserves. We didn't sign him but he went on to have a very good career in Scotland. Who was this?

    Personally I think JG best manager we have had since Levein / Sir PH

    I can see the same organisation and the players having some idea of what is required of them that reminds me of those times

    If we keep him longer I think JG will have success - last summer was good recruitment and we have progressed every year.

    We need to have a decent manager long term to bring sustainable success
