    Anyone know what he was thinking bringing four subs on yet again? Is he not going to learn? It was literally the last thing we needed and we were just building a bit of momentum before that. His tinkering is starting to get on my tits. Also Bailey Wright clearly wasn’t match with, the worst game I’ve seen him have for us.

    The last 3 years tells us too many of them can't. What a ****ing let-down. I can see us turning to absolute **** for a good week or so.

    Johnson needs to pick out those he really wants in the squad, capable of pushing on and securing a play-off spot. Sack the rest of them off, the useless bastards.

    At least we finally got rid of one **** off this board tonight, just a bit more dead/negative wood to chop.

    I honestly believed we'd overcome any weaknesses we had earlier in the season and i couldn't see why we wouldnt kick on. Is it that the players are weak mentally? I suspect so.

    Feeing the same as you mate. That second half was just indefensible. I was confident of automatic because despite our performances being pretty average, we were winning and not really conceding a lot of chances let alone goals. I was waiting for the performances to improve and combined with players coming back from injury, I thought we’d be tough to stop. Unfortunately it’s been more of the same but now the clean sheets have dried up and we’ve been punished. Johnson now has the next 6 games to get the injured players back up to speed and find his best team ready for the play offs.

    Horseshit. The game needed changing, so it was the right time. Its also an admission that he'd got it wrong and needed to change things. Many managers wouldn't have been big enough to do that.

    I've been worn down that much over the recent years, that I can only be disappointed.

    Like water off a ducks back mate doesn’t bother me one iota anymore and it won’t until we have a proper team that fight for the shirt.

    Not sure that Hume and Wright deserve to walk into a team that was unbeaten in 14. Lost 2 now since he changed the defence.

    I don’t think he intended on playing Wright tonight and McFadzean proved when he came on why he’s been dropped. He’s ****.

    It’s hard to believe anything can piss a player off more than that.

    2 defeats, 2 bad performances, Leadbitter not selected for either game... coincidence or not?

    I agree regarding MacLaughlin as he is such a solid defender and makes us a much better side. He brings balance to the right hand side. Also agree on Jones, he was miles off his ability tonight. Not worth a place in the team on that form I am afraid, sad to say.

    We need the top two to loose a few for us to have any chance of automatic
    I feel it’s over for us now

    You'll be shouting for a new owner soon.

    Agree Mcfadzean is limited but he was part of an unbeaten defence for 14 games. Hume hasn’t looked any better.

    Fine, but knowing our luck lately we'll get them in the semi final

    He’s certainly not looked any worse either. How many goals has McFadzean singlehandedly been at fault for? I can name one just over a week ago.
