    To be fair, I'd imagine that's where JDH has been told to play.

    Played further forward there's no doubt he has the ability to make more telling passes.

    I think one of our major targets for next season needs to be a midfielder along the lines of Gogic or what we thought we were getting with Sheron.

    With that type of player, and JDH alongside McGrath, I think that would be the basis of a strong midfield.

    However, I think he'll be offski and we'll have identified a potential replacement already.

     

    We need more from Ethan I know he is still young but for someone that is getting a game every week he needs to contribute more

    In that case, we're fecked.

    As soon as any pressure / closing down by the opposition is applied we go to pieces at passing or control, there is absolutely no composure.

    Someone in midfield has to take some kind of responsibility, JDH simply didn't want the ball today. 

     

    Ryan Flynn must start against Hamilton. Our midfield has not been at the race's for weeks they are not protecting the back 3 or 4 and they are creating very little for the strikers I know our strikers aren't world beaters but they don't get that much service

    The full 15 page deliberation states we had up to 4 people sharing a vehicle. We also claimed to have been unable to social distance in changing rooms and gym facilities due to their "cramped nature" which I assume may refer to facilities at Ralston in respect of the changing rooms rather than the stadium. If you take time to read the full deliberation the failures are quite staggering. There is also mention of a reluctance to embrace "zoom" coaching where clubs were unable to meet the required measures. That's the first I've heard of that one but it reads as if that was the alternative for clubs unable to adhere.

    Everyone should read the full verdict and deliberations, eye opening in the extreme.

    Oh and as for the club statement that we had defended our position "vigorously" that us debunked within the first couple of paragraphs. We admitted all the charges and offered nothing in mitigation when invited to do so.

    Sounds like we knew exactly what we were doing and hoped we wouldn't get caught !

    The failures are staggering

    The players must have know they were breaking the protocols

    The management team must have known we were breaking the protocols

    The CEO must have know we were breaking the protocols

    Frankly everyone at the club must have know we were breaking the protocols

    However harsh the punishment is and whatever we think about other clubs getting away with it there has been a catalogue of failures that we can't defend

    Agreed. Having read the report, we’ve been wholly negligent on the matter. You can argue about Aberdeen and Celtic, but this has occurred because we’ve failed to manage things correctly in our control. Failure to set things out on coaches, meals, etc is idiotic.

    Zero grounds for appeal.

    The punishment is harsh but we have no one to blame but ourselves, the presidency has been set now though so anyone else that brakes the rules MUST be punished in the same way.

    We need to use any sense of injustice as a motivation in the coming weeks

    Just to throw this out there but while Stubbs is getting slaughtered for not bringing players in is it not Fitzys jobs to actually get players in once Stubbs has identified a list. We have no idea how far down Stubbs list of players a guy like Edwards would be...

    This is my question also.. the board must be allowing Stubbs to sign these guys but are they really the type of player he wants to bring in?? If so he deserves all he gets but I have a feeling the BOD have not allowed him to get the type of player he was after.. As a Manager in any walk of life if you are recruiting you will nearly always be looking for experience which is generally more expensive so has Stubbs been told loan signings and unknowns are all he can bring in?

    The gaffer would seem to agree with you.

    Just watched his post match interview.

    The phrase pure ragin' doesn't even come close.

    No excuses. Not good enough.
    He will tell them what he wants... If the players do not respond then they are dropped... Even if that leaves an imbalance in the shape of the team!

    I like the cut of his jib!

    Raging right enough... Think there will be a few of them well and truly told over the next couple of days!!

  7. I didn't realise they were talking about the Family stand until I got the email, I have never referred to it as the South Stand.. Based on this decision I won't be at the game, I am sure the West Stand is a better view of the game but I am in the Family Stand as it's just that the Family Stand, don't get me wrong there are a few clowns in there but I sit with my son and my mates and it's a great crowd and to be honest given the rubbish we watch most weeks it's only the company that makes me go...

  8. Gave us a lesson on how to hold the ball up and bring other players into the game when they grubbed us 3-0 at Hamilton and he has always played well anytime I have seen him either live or on the TV so would be a good signing if true.... Mind you we have signed many a player over the years that has been good against us but shite for us!!!

  9. I was impressed with Adam Brown at Coatbridge and when he came on for the 2nd half yesterday. Looks composed, can run with the ball, makes some nice passes and isn't afraid to shoot. It's early days for him but he's done well.

    I agree, that's the first I have seen the young lad and he looked good, certainly worth a couple run outs pre season. Thought Marwood looked quite mobile and if we do play two up front think he will keep defences occupied, Caldwell looked OK as we'll not a world beater but no worse than any of the "back up" strikers we have had in recent years and he looked to have a bit or power and pace about him... Early days though.
