    Only McKenzie apparently. Silver linings and all that.

    Reportedly from our end too. Embarrassing stuff. It will put off the team coming over to console the fans next week.

    Hibs finish five points ahead of us, but have a 25 goal advantage over us in 38 games played. That tells its own story, namely, we don’t score enough goals and we are poor in defence. We are lacking in the very basics of football, in other words. Not great, Jimmy, after a considerable amount of money having been spent compared to the teams around us.

    Well sadly my original prediction proved 100% correct.

    But that was entirely predictable. That team and squad are unbelievably soft - both physically and mentally.

    Reflection of the manager if we are honest.

    Slightest pressure they just crumble.

    Basically hes signed a bunch of players wholly unsuited to the demands of Scottish fitba.

    Priority one is sign a proper spine to the team - proper mannies CH, centre midfield and striker - not the gutless fairies hes packed that team out with this year.

    That team as it stands are genuine relegation material next year, and if he keeps signing the same profile of player he has been, then it will stay that way, and he will be gone by Xmas.

    So it was 31 points from the first 11 games and only 22 points from the last 27 games. That should not be possible, but somehow it happened.

    Almost the mirror image of Hibs. Which manager is getting the best out of their team without spending(wasting) so much money? One on an upward trajectory and the other crashing and burning. I say this knowing that we have a cup final coming up that could change the whole complexion of that but we all know what is going to happen there.

    Totally agree and the irony is that the manager said that all of the players that he looked to sign would, as a pre-requisite, have to have a certain type of character. He is clearly not a very good judge of character I assume!? A team of spineless wimps. .

    I?m too crestfallen to lay into anyone, tbh. But we certainly lack firepower up front. Once Nisbet comes off it?s hard to see us scoring.

    I cant really come on here and defend Thelin after our 4th defeat in a row. I was hoping he would turn it around next season but I reckon he might walk away in the summer, if he doesnt he will be gone by Christmas.

    Im so pissed off with that squad of players, absolutely no back bone to any of them, if they get put under any pressure they fall to bits.

    The problem is if the next guy comes in and tries to make them hard to beat they wont be able to do that either.

    A complete overhaul of the squad is needed again, this head of recruitment recommending players is a joke, obviously not looking at the character of any of these players just ability.

    The way things are being run at the club I cant see the next manager lasting longer than a year like the rest of them.

    I was told in February he was wanting back to Sweden. It apparently all goes back to the assistant boy going back last year.

    Apparently the club were happy to a parting of the ways at the end of the season, if he still felt the same way.

    I honestly have no idea if true. The person who told me is usually quite good, but I haven't spoke to him since that day for any sort of update.
