    There really does seem to be fairly big problems at the moment but they are much more fixable in top league than 2nd tier.

    Short term.....we just have to stay up and try to build a better atmosphere.

    Best atmospher this season....St m with around 3k in the ground.....wonder why? ��

    Medium term.....we simply have to find a way to swap home ends and bring our fans together.

    Longer term, the ground situation has to be addressed once and for all.....moving or not......this road to nowhere where nothing can be improved at our current home because there's a promise of a new ground can't drag on much longer.....it's killing the very soul of the club.

    Ken the film Mrs doubtfire.....Robin Williams gets a job with the tv company behind the scenes.....and he's watching the bairns presenter boring the pants aff ahh bugger with the dinosaurs...that's how I see DFC...this is how we do it, this is how we will continue even though it's ****.

    We really need fresh eyes within the club and try and do things a bit differently.
    Some sensible suggestions. Would like to try Shankly as Home support. Our worst result was the draw with Livi. The bottom teams are all must win games for us,imo.

    There was also a tactical failure against the dabs, zero fight v st j in cup game when we went behind and completely losing our grip on things v hibs.

    Derek McInnes would be a huge upgrade on James Mcpake, he's available.

    I think it's difficult to turn things round once you have lost the fans (especially at Dens) not as important as the dressing room but still important.....I reckon a large % of our support have had it with Mcpake even if he wins next 3.

    3 players supposedly on trial this week but seems like papering over the cracks when you need the plasterer in.

    Adam injury has been crucial but in all honesty he was always going to miss a number if games at his advancing years.

    Griffiths thing is infuriating, so easily avoidable but it's Griffiths......but the double standards in Scottish football with Gerrard and dab manager is laughable.....

    He has a dressing room which, by his own admission, is a Championship one - he caused that and I can't see how he can change it.

    I don’t buy the police/trouble thing, away fans used to be in Provie and TCK in the past, when trouble was rife
    Just don't see moving the same people from one stand to an identical one will change anything, proximity might even cause the whingers and Coxy Coos to get abuse from The Derry.

    Absolute nonsence.

    Meanwhile we have not won a league game this season and still John Nelms does nothing.
    They’ve had 17 managers in 10 years. Is that really the way you want the club run?

    A cogent and considered counter argument. I won't even mention the obvious thing.

    I expect no less from you right enough.

    He was expecting better performances and I am sure his players thought that they could deliver them for him. It seems that it has not worked out. Griffiths has missed chances to score. Would like to see him and Adam on the pitch before giving up on McPake's management of our club.

    I'm pretty certain he'll get many more games and I'm not shouting for his head yet either. I hope he can turn it round, just don't think he will.

    And we all know what hope does.
