    Yeah would agree. I thought they would be better. But a really poor team. We starting with the wrong shape and players.

    Still missing that killer in the box though.

    Hard to understand this, after Tuesday. All very flat. Away from we seem a totally different side to me.

    Love to the rational of not having a striker playing....just doesn't make sense

    I would like hear why Rusyn isnt getting a game. Before the injury he was playing, and showing signs he was growing into the team.

    If we're chasing a game you reckon you would put on a striker on rather than an attacking midfielder

    He's looked a handful when he has played too. Don't understand why he in particular is being ignored by all and sundry. Ok maybe he's not impressing in training but he's impressed me in the real thing every time I've seen him.

    If we lose this it will buy the new manager/ coach time. If we'd won today we would all be saying Dodds should get it.
    It still massively concerns me not one striker has scored a single goal going into the Xmas period. It's unheard of!

    Here we go. 3 minutes for a striker to score.

    Surely, at around the 60 minute mark, it would have been common sense to throw a striker on?

    Raging that no striker has come on when 1 down until injury time!!

    Rusyn n mayenda should have come on as a front 2 around the 65 min mark - give them time to impact the game

    I can take losing games (if we do lose this) but not if the coaches/managers do everything i believe possible to win a game

    They havent today
