    The so called squad of lazy, complacent, work shy, has beens and never will bes of sub standard players with no sense of pride for club or badge are responsible for the situation. Ah, and of course those responsible for us having this so called squad, FOL!

    Many sides have a negative net spend but have done well in bringing in good loans or cheap deals, like Bournemouth and Middlesborough who are stronger than when the season started. That's good management.

    Bruce has been a shambles both in terms of team selection and tactics. The three main performers under Val were TGH, Kipre and Clarke of which none are now getting a look in. What I don't get is why he's reluctant to play TGH but played that plonker Castro who pretty much cost us the match with his dire defending for the first goal. Castro hasn't been knocking on the door in the U23's is my understanding. O'Shea isn't fit and cost us against Middlesborough. Is Bruce even attending training?

    Our next appointment and the business we do in the summer is going to be critical for our league survival. Get it wrong and we're f*cked.

    Gourlay the new CEO is a chum of Bruce so don’t be surprised if he will be here next season too. I backed Bruce wrongly!! Poor team selections and any new manager should lift the players or drop them! We are worse than before!!

    The place stinks!! These players need to go to Kiev and they would run then for sure!!

    Spineless the lot of them and wouldn’t pay a penny for Johnstone if I was a Premier club either!
