Having watched him I have to say I don't think he's up to the standard required either, or perhaps hasn't stepped up well enough yet.
Just isn't good enough to be in the engine room of the team, Would far prefer Howieson in there.

Less than 20% of the population smoke now, however. Even assuming your average pub goer was more likely to smoke, if you changed tomorrow it would not revive the pub trade- many struggling before the ban.
For me the increasing difference between pub and supermarket costs, plus the general economy has hit pubs hard. The change in drink driving laws too have hurt has people are more cautious.

The worrying thing is Murray doesn't come out and say, that was pish. It is like he thinks it is OK.

I'm scunnered. I was optimistic this season with the new squad which looked good on paper and the managerial appointment.
The performances have been dire. We sit off teams and have been dominated in every game. The players change every game, and the result is nobody seems to know what position they are playing and what they are doing. The manager seems to have no idea on the best 11.
We have no wins this season against Championship clubs. Livingston celebrated a 1-1 draw against us like it was a massive result! It's too early to be looking a managerial changes but he needs to get it right pronto. On the last few games I have my doubts if he is able to do so.

The problem is Murray. I had high hopes but he's been a massive disappointment.
4 games no wins is not good enough.We are in for a relegation battle at this rate.
I think the players are good enough they are just being mismanaged. I'll accept the midfield is poor, esp without Goodwin. I don't think he knows his best lineup yet...
Jury is out but not looking like a positive verdict. Tommy Craig mark 2!

Kenny McLean used to get similar abuse from fans not so long ago. Is it not possible for new players to settle down at a new club and get used to the pace of Scottish football, before eventually finding a position in the team formation that best suits his game.

For what it's worth I think we have a decent Championship team. We're being managed badly at the moment.

I hope we aren't going to do a Thistle and go down two divisions. Feels like years since I've seen us play well and dominate a team. Shocking stuff.
Murray is under pressure now has until October to get results.

This forum rocks, I thought I was a roaster but some of the imbeciles on here should be under house arrest.
Really looking forward to this season and shall only go to a handful of home games, however looking forward to our away days, got a few stadia to tick off..
Give Ian Murray time, good foundations make a strong house, building off of shite does not...
Find it a bit strange that some of the idiots shouting for change are on his back already..

Kelly isn't a left back either and is a better centre back. If we've decided Conlon is pish we're better going with Stewart in that role.

He's a plumber, not a Texan oil magnate.

Need to be given a chance to get things right. We'll be seen as a scalp now we've dropped down and teams will sit back and ask us to break them down.
Murray will need to adjust tactics it's not like being at Dumbarton where teams will be fairly open against you as they expect a result there. Plus there are battle hardened teams in this league who are used to it and even in our SPL days would have been a difficult draw in a cup contest like Queens and Falkirk.
From the look of Rangers on the last two games they'll cruise this league now they have a competent management duo in place. That was 5-1 going on 8 at Alloa.

The other point with McMullan was his positioning and defensive work. Often was caught too narrow. Made life difficult for the full-backs. He needs to improve that aspect of his game.

Yes certainly in competitive games that is the case. Rangers 2nd and 3rd came down our right as did Dumbartons 2nd. I think Berwick's goal was down the right side of our team as well.
I'd give him a chance, he doesn't look like a natural left full-back but a converted one.

Nowhere near good enough. Utterly woeful stuff. I don't think Dumbarton were great shakes either. Solid 2 banks of 4 but actually created little, yet we gift them 2 goals.
Positionally we were all over the place too, midfield didn't seem solid, players didn't seem to have an understanding. For all of McMullan's skill, his defensive work wasn't great, often was too central and was a nightmare for the full backs!
We didn't have enough drive, pace was all wrong, no closing down or pressure. So many players were poor I can't pick out any to be honest.
To early to panic, but need more experience. On this display the only play-off we'll be involved in is a relegation one!
