    what a disappointment, terrible first half, usual soft goals, injury helped us because we got bit more bodies in midfield, which suggest the tactics were wrong first half. Second half we were unlucky, Camara was knackered and I think had to come off, but how many times do you see a team chuck on attackers to win a match, but then cede the midfield control, last ten minutes we couldn't get control of the ball to actually get it to our strikers, would have been as well blowing ft whistle at 80 mins.

    ...will Goodwin take any responsibility at all for that performance? Absolutely zero desire from the players in the first half, looks like we were scared to go forward...then taking off Camara totally killed any attacking threat we had when we were looking for an equaliser. Defence is honking.....tactics are honking....passing is honking......we are gash in every department. I am struggling to see ANY positives from this season! We have unearthed zero gems....and we are going to have ANOTHER massive rebuild required. Ogren needs to tell us what the plan is because if it is more of this...then I'm offski!

    We have a manager who can't set up a team.

    We have a manager who can't coach a team.

    We have a manager who makes decent players worse.

    And we have a manager who can't motivate a team to get after an opponent in the first half.

    This is not news.

    This has been the case all season.

    If you tactically set up to soak up pressure for most of the game don’t play naturally attacking players on both wings, then you are likely to lose. You cannot also expect to play for only 10-15 mins in a game and expect to win, granted Sapsford missed two chances he would have put away earlier this season.

    As someone in a previous comment and I have been saying, Dolcek is a naturally left sided player, we insist on playing him on the right!! Good player as was Babunski, but always played out of position and I see to another good player leaving having not fulfilled their potential thus helping us, due to managers preferred formations and we can argue about work ethic etc. but if work ethic is the mantra it ain’t working at the moment and hasn’t been for some months!

    The balance sheet will look more positive. Just have to get the HMRC fiasco sorted that Asghar and Bond thought up with no-one keeping an eye on what those two were doing. Might be acquiring an experienced groundsman to head up the ground staff. Medical staff getting a re-jig.

    Sapsford had the chances, surely he takes one of those earlier in season

    Sickening way to go out really, played into their hands early doors on the crap pitch

    Trap just not good enough, get rid, set up was wrong and the passive display from players wasn't good enough first half

    Fatah and Iovu missed as expected, should have appealed Iovu red card as Sevelj was missed in the middle
    Set up was wrong and the passive display in the first half has been happening all season,and yet you still think this manager is doing a good job? Unreal. We will never achieve anything under this man. He sets up his team defensively and yet they cannot defend. Absolutely rigid in his tactics, we are so f*cking easy to play against it's embarrassing! Every so often we manage to grind out a win but it's always despite him and not because he's masterminded it. We are a terrible side and getting worse,he needs to go.

    Quicker he goes the better . Ridiculous 1st half for a team one step from Hampden and how anybody can defend this man with his tactics and set up is pathetic

    Getting beaten isn't the end of the world if you've seen your team play decent football but decent football is completely beyond us and has been for most of the season.

    We shouldn't be surprised we got owned by Falkirk tonight. Their football at times made us look like beginners. They have a coach. We don't.
