    Can you blame them. Bottom of the league havent won a game for yonks. As much as I do not like it we only have ourselves to blame.

    I don't think I've ever seen a footballer kick a ball more awkwardly than McLaughlin. He's linking up well with Maguire though or at least he was earlier.

    Leds should take them all. Can hit a ball and takes decent corners.

    Loads of corners and free kicks around the box. Not a single attempt at goal from any of them!

    Strange half. We are easily the better team. Lack of pace and not moving the ball quick enough is costing us.

    here's hoping LJ is a member of the magic circle...if that 1st half was a sign of the players 'rising to the challenge' he has his work cut out!!

    You can understand McGeady being rusty, but Maguire is bang average most of the time.

    Grigg is finally seeing the ball being played into his feet.

    Bailey Wright has spilled it three matches in a row. An essential part of the dominate and draw strategy.

    It's a team that's just been told to play a new way without a single minutes training with the new gaffer.

    We are also missing two of our starting defence (3 if you include Hume going off).

    Half time team talk.

    “So, is it just today that you’re playing like a bunch of ******s or is it something that you’ve been practicing?”

    Last season we actually scored a few goals from his corners we have not done it since if I remember correctly, Maguire is rubbish on corners and scowen can only deliver from the left. We have seen a lot of these three up front to get to excited about any recovery from this position and we have nothing on the bench to change things, the only hope we have is that these new boys can see the problems which obviously escaped the Parky clone Taylor.

    I know we’ve had attempts but I don’t recall a single one from a set piece anywhere! They’ve all been rubbish as per

    We keep putting in high crosses when we have the likes of Grigg in the middle.

    We can turn this around. Be interesting to see how makes use of his bench 2nd half. Would like to see diamond on for McLaughlin and Embleton on for power to go all out
