  1. If we are getting to the point were Jason Holt is seen as a player to start then we have genuinely not moved forward. Definitely a good squad player, played his part getting us back to the SPFL but not good enough to be considered ahead of the current midfield.
  2. Don't see the point of getting involved in a public tit for tat with Liewell about EBTs and enquiries as it will only feed the media frenzy which 9 times out of 10 write about us negatively anyway. I would like to think that some questions would be asked behind closed doors on Saturday hopefully off the back of a good result.
  3. We struggle against physical teams, Motherwell, Ross County and last night, second half all these teams became more physical and we struggled. Pedro says the overseas signings are adapting to the little time they have on the ball but that's the risk he took when he signed 5 players with zero experience of football in the UK. I honestly think it will be 10 to 15 games before you can really see if they will be able cope with the physical and high ball aspect of the game in Scotland.
  4. Results driven business. Given that we struggle to put together he run of wins then we will always have the polarised view on a game to game basis. I wanted Pedro out after the Progress game. But I am thinking that some stability in management and playing staff is required, rather than the wholesale changes of the last 3 seasons.
  5. Dropped deep a few times tonight just to get on the ball. I would prefer to see him concentrate on staying on the shoulder of the last defender. This outlines how poor the midfield are at the moment and for me the real area of concern.
  6. Clueless as manager clueless as a pundit. Cheeky chappie though.
  7. On tonights showing he doesn't offer anything more than Beerman.
  8. Wonder if the compliance officer will look at the challenge on Jack.
  9. For me we have to try 3:5:2 I shudder at the thought of Declan John at full back if Wallace is injured. Tonight both centre backs were dragged out of position to cover for our full backs. Why not play in a formation that allows for attacking wing backs. I think this would also lend towards a midfield including Rossiter and allow Dorrans for freedom in the forward position.
  10. Got what we deserved tonight, bottle crashed at 1:1 not good enough. Play like that next week and we will have no chance
  11. Take note see how there player looked up before playing the pass into the box.
  12. Kranjkar was quite effective for the first 15/20 mins, he made a 70 /80 yard run to get on the end of a breakaway and was more or less finished quite soon after that. I would much prefer to see him as a last 15 min sub when a game is stretched and let him find the space.
  13. For me he should stay put as we need as much influence in the SPFL as possible. Liewell walked away from the SPFL board to take up a place in the European Club Association as he now has Doncaster doing his bidding for him domestically, so he can now work the unwashed agenda at a European level. Or am I just being paranoid..
  14. Took a heavy challenge midway through the second half. Good to see him get back up and continue. So far along with Alves he has been the standout of the new additions.
  15. Both great players in there day but its time for Pedro to look to the younger guys to start. We looked so much better once Windass and Pena came on.
  16. The annoying thing is that for yesterday and the Stokes incident a yellow card was issued ruling out the chance of a retrospective red.
  17. Think he has a degree in sports science and had started a PHD.
  18. Niko is the player you bring on for the last 10/15 mins at home with a couple of goals advantage, not start away from home against a team you couldn't beat last year.
  19. Must feel quite strange having your tactics etc questioned by three failed managers and a youth coach. I feel for football managers these days, pundits all over the place lining up to tell you that you haven't a clue. Listened to the so called experts on Sky yesterday, don't think either of of them has ever managed a team and they were calling Pep Guardiola into question because he said Sterling could play in the number 10 role..
