    Like most posters I think the damage has been done in the January window.
    A decent goalie and a striker minimum was needed.
    Goodwin seems to have made a difference already but he doesn’t have much wiggle room.
    Hopefully can get us organised and cut out the daft goals but nothing he can do about bad defending.
    Really hard to see where the goals will come from.
    The 6 pointers against County and Killie might turn out to be critical. Hopefully both at Tanny.
    Seems to have gone quiet on the takeover. Is that good or bad ?

    Under the circumstances it was a decent point and one that keeps us within one win of getting off the bottom!

    Relegation could genuinely come down to whether we host Killie after the split or if we get sucker punched into travelling there 3 times!!

    If we could get to the split being within 3 points of Killie or county (or both) then I think we’ll have done ok! Then it will be a dog fight

    We saying the exact same things about Fox when he took charge and got a few results early on, saying that I do think Goodwin is an upgrade. I honestly think this ship has sailed, how many must win games have we not won in the last 9 games, we've managed to lose to Motherwell, Killie and Sheep at home, and the last two have woeful away records. As long as we have the Aussie in goal we have zero percent of staying up. Another goal he should have done better at last night. A **** keeper costs you, an average keeper doesn't at least cost you, and good keeper can win you games, at the moment we would give our right arm just for an average keeper. Even if we sort out the goalkeeper, where are the goals coming from? How many points did Nicky Clark win us with goals in tight matches against bottom 6 sides the past two seasons? That was his speciality, and right now we are playing with a target man who he would feed off. As it is we are relying on likes of Harkes and Behich coming up with the occasional goal. I struggle to see where our goals are coming from.

    My only hope is that with a decent/normal keeper maybe the confidence might return and this team isn't as bad as we think, and that if we get to end of season and suddenly find a win or two, we might get a confidence surge, bit like a team who has been completely outplayed for 85 mins and then gets an equaliser out of nowhere and senses a huge opportunity that didn't seem possible whole match.

    The problem with that is, its dependent on County or Killie basically flatlining in that time to keep us in it, and both seem to me far more capable of playing bad but digging in for ugly results as a result of just playing aggressive, keeping it tight, and taking an opportunity. I don't county have ever been terrible like we have, they have been consistently competing, have strikers now, and killie have the plastic rug.

    We do shoot ourselves in the foot though, we tried our best to blow it again last night - Anaku's miss, Birighitti fumbling onto post, Freeman's shocking 30 mins when he should have been sent off, Ayina's absolute crazy tackle that could have and prob should have been a red. Some of those individuals mistakes/decision making is unreal.

    I hear we are implementing the Asghar role so the above might not be far from the truth.

    Yeah, bad news. Would've been good to see what Goodwin could get out of him.

    Mochrie's another who flatters to deceive. Admittedly I haven't seen him since the friendly in Dec, but he's another who doesn't seem to take his chance when given it. Kai's the kid to watch right now.
