There is currently a lot more wrong than just Docherty no playing , never seen so many players without the brains to bend a run to stay inside for starters , Goodwin really needs to rethink his plans as well , there is no plan B , simply changing personnel but playing the same system is unbelievable, what’s that saying about the definition of madness

[Arabdownsouth]

Just a poor spell really, probably a few factors all playing a part, certainly isn't a time to be turning on managers and the like, just shows how fickle fans can be

Only Raith being excellent too is keeping us currently off the top, all about perspective and perception

Tonight isn't good enough all the same but our fans have a habit of going ott in the negative sense, it's not quite as bad as recent reactions but that doesn't mean we should be happy with the current lean spell (dropping pts in 3 of the last 8 league games)

I think we win this league but it's gonna require everyone getting on side, embracing the battle with Raith , also gonna need the team pulling themselves into form again and then the confidence will come back, also 2-3 smart additions in January as we can't rely on Docherty's fitness and he is a big miss to this team every time he doesn't start just now

You have a habit of talking shyte. You did it all last season even with the blindingly obvious staring you in the face. You harp on about stats all the time but you just cannot see the wood for the trees. This team is only going backwards and has been for weeks. The manager has a proven track record of failing to arrest the slump. The owner is gonna spend f*ck all in January just like last year. The sum total of all of that is that we will be in this division again next season.

The owner should have sold up end of last season , therein is THE problem

"Raith being excellent" ???
Did they not just draw at home against a team down to 10 men early doors???

They are decent at this level. Unfortunately for us, a good bit better.

What I get very disappointed with is fans who didn't offer any praise when we were top unbeaten but now we're having a sticky spell can't wait to put the boot in.

Shame our players can't put the boot in a bit more tbh.

All any of us want is a winning team. We know they can't win every game but they have to at least try to. The ambling around the pitch shrugging shoulders instead of rolling their sleeves up and actually giving a damn is not going to garner much praise from the fans.

I think we have become very predictable to play against. When we were flying, everything was coming off. Now, we are lacking confidence. Middleton the perfect example of this. Imagination is lacking and all of our attacking players are afraid of making mistakes. We did miss 2 or 3 great chances tonight and in my view should have had a penalty.

Positives. We haven't lost ground. We looked comfortable defensively. Raith arclosing sheds of goals. It is a good time to have a bad spell with the window about to open

Negatives. We are in a bad spell and seem to be making the same mistakes over and over whilst hoping for a different result. We have lost our clinical edge in front of goal.

I'm sure there was plenty praise at the time Stoke. And I'm not seeing too many folk sticking the boot in. I'm just seeing fans getting really frustrated about the way the team is being set up, playing, and general commitement.

What worries me the most though is, I'm getting a groundhog day feeling, that this might not just be a wee sticky spell.

Very much in this camp. I know where we lie in the new order of world football but to proclaim to be a professional football player and then produce that is akin to breach of contract

Your first sentence says it all , teams have worked us out , sit deep plenty men behind the ball and we struggle to break them down , zero creativity and no clue how to breakdown a tight defence
