    Before all the injuries and the changes to the squad

    We were always going to have a spell like this again, especially being so far ahead

    That's football.

    Perhaps, but drawing at home to Morton and away to Alloa (part time team) who are both near the bottom of the league, coupled with a loss at home to Arbroath, who are also a part time team, is simply not acceptable.
    I firmly rest most of the blame at Robbie for trying to (and I quote offshore) fit “square pegs into round holes”. You can say all you want about injuries forcing team changes, but FFS, put like for like players into the team, to keep the same system, not fecking change both, and have an unbalanced team. That is exactly what happened earlier in the season, why doesn’t the stubborn bassa fecking learn from his mistakes??
    Trust me, other teams will start to smell blood, if we don’t get our sh!t together very soon, and next week is the proverbial “SIX POINTER” that’s for sure!!

    I honestly don't think being part time in this league really matters and I don't think being "near the bottom of the league" matters either as Alloa are only 7 points away from a play off spot and Morton & Arbroath even closer.

    I headed through last night not expecting to win and if I'm being honest the game went exactly as I thought it would. It was an improvement on the last time we were there when Alloa pi55ed all over us though but that is the only positive I can take from last night(and the peh on a roll which was surprisingly tasty)

    I agree though that we should be doing better v Arbroath and Morton at home.

    It was the injuries to certain players that put us on our best run of form. Having them back as options started our poor run along with bringing in Powers.

    Agreed we were always going to have a poor run, its just painful when it looks self inflicted by the manager

    So, genuinely asking, when was the last times we played well twice in a row?

    probably end of November when we beat QofS 3-0 and Alloa 2-1 start of December. We played probably as many bad games as good during our unbeaten run, but during it we were tight in defence, and made chances. Now we are playing poor, likely to fog a goal, and creating little.

    Poor game, basic mistakes. Not convinced by the tactics but cant legislate for as many individual mistakes as we saw tonight. Still, another point on the total. A waltz to the line would be great, but the line is what is important. If we crawl there so be it.

    We really miss Nicky Clark in my opinion. His role in our winning run seems underrated in hindsight - started when he came back from injury and faltered when he broke his leg.

    We are missing the balance we had when everyone was available, still a few players away from our best line up, was better than last visit there which says it all about how poor we were that night

    Typical shyte away to them, plastic pitch, TV game, them well up for it as we are the big fish, tbf they defended really well and our final balls were terrible all night, I like Robson but that needs work as he was the biggest offender, the ones that were decent we were wasteful with same with any chances which weren't many

    Harkes should not be the cm being subbed, Powers not needed tonight again, just not working

    Very much missing a fit McMullan, Appere and as I suspected we would missing Stanton who I really wanted to stay till the summer, Clarke as well of course is still missed

    If we beat Inverness next Friday then it'll look like a better point... we need to come out and do a job, remove any doubts that may be creeping into some (you can tell by posts on here that some are getting worried &#128559... I am still very relaxed and confident in the manager and team to see the job through

    Reckon we'll go on another good mini run into spring to confirm automatic promotion.

    That's what I thought when I read this pish.
