  1. Thanks

    Would drive him there myself. Would suit both parties, and probably save us paying hefty compo in a few weeks.

    Yeah some the excuses after losing two games against part time opponents without scoring a single goal within the space of ten days are quite something. There is no excuse.
    The reason we have lost both of those games is simple; Stephen Robinson.

    I think the club should give everyone that attends a free pie to apologize for the shambolic efforts so far

    Yeah like I said before the game, I wouldn’t be surprised if we lost this, and we did. Is anyone actually surprised by that scoreline? 
    I’d guess not, and that fact alone is the really worrying one. 

    The decline in the football club in the last five months is nothing short of remarkable. To be knocked out of a league cup group with four part time teams is an absolute disgrace.

    Perfectly calm. Seen us relegated plenty of times before, and i will see us relegated plenty of times in the future. 
    The frustration is we have went from such a good place (top six in February) to such a bad place so quickly.

    Yeah agree with this. We had goal scoring midfielders in McGrath and Ronan the past two seasons and it was their goals that kept us clear of the relegation battle both times. They've both left and there's seemingly no replacement, none of these players Robinson has signed is a goal scoring midfielder.
    Unless Kiltie can step up that's a huge hole in the goals for column. We are relying on perma crock Brophy and the boo boys favourite target Main to deliver the goods.
    Terrifying.

    Bizarre reply. I thought Robinson was a great appointment at the time. I thought Ian Murray was a great appointment at the time. In both cases, it became quite clear early on it was not going to work out. You understand that people can't predict the future? If they could no one would ever get an appointment wrong 😆
    What's the magnificent run got to do with anything?

    Are any posters on here going to this game? The only interesting thing about this game will be the crowd, post your predictions for it here. 
    Is sub 1500 for a what is technically a competitive home game on a Saturday at 3pm possible? Sub 1000?

    Surely not. I’ll go for 1623.

    These unacceptable performances will hit the club in the pocket unfortunately. Probably cost 1000 on the gate at the weekend, not to mention the next round/rounds gate money.
    Every pound is important to us at the moment, although the club will be saving  dosh with the lack of win bonuses.

    Only a fiver for me  to get in but 99% cert some barman in Paisley will get it before the club. 
    As for numbers, reckon some fans who had already bought their tickets won't go so 1200 tickets sold with a crowd of 1100.

    Give us a break. Professional footballers knackered after three games. We pay top dollar for advise from the backroom staff. Nutrition etc., and three bunches of guys some playing after working in a real job can can give us the runaround.  This double shift Robinson talks about is not every day. 🤭

    Had a couple people ask about a ‘Stephen Robinson Must Go’ thread last night, not yet in my opinion.
    He needs a good start to the season. A run in the league cup would have been one way to do that and given us some positive momentum and him some leeway.
    That disgrace of a campaign is another failure to add to his failures last season.  He now need wins in the league and we need them early.
    First three games are Well at home, Aberdeen away and then County at home. A very kind start to the season and we should be targeting six points minimum from those matches, in my opinion.

    Midfield is definitely the problem. It doesn't matter how good your defence or attack are, if your midfield is poor, your whole team will look poor.
    Really there is nothing needs to be said. Just write the names down, and one look tells you it is weaker than last season.
    21/22:   Ronan, McGrath, Power, Gogic, Kiltie, Erhahon, Flynn.
    22/23:  O'Hara, Kiltie, Erhahon, Flynn, Reid, Baccus
    The worrying thing for me is that last years back up are now first choice. We have to hope that Baccus is decent and that Reid pushes on.

    Having time to think about it, sadly I didn’t expect us to win last night - which is a bad sign against a part time lower league team. 
     
    This is a sign of the rapid decline we had since SR took over. 
     
    Top 6? Nah, a play off place is a win for us at this point and time & I’d settle for this if we persist with the current management team.

    Hope Carson makes a recovery, but when you look at his recent record with injuries this latest break down of an existing injury is not much of a surprise. Wonder how he passed his medical. 
    Alnwick was such a great signing he was always going to be tough to replace, but goalkeeper looks like yet another position that we will be significantly weaker in next season.

    He doesn't appear to be part of Robbo's first team plans, he hasn't started either of the first two league cup games.  He started Ryan Flynn instead of him on Saturday for goodness sake, and now Baccus has arrived. We now have Flynn, Erhahon, Baccus, O'Hara and Reid battling for two slots, and it seems Reid is fifth in line.
    Therefore him leaving now, in January or next summer is not going to make a huge difference to the team. One thing i am confident about is he will not be signing a new deal with us, why on earth would he?
