Jamie McGrath is a real find, so good that he very likely won’t be with us for too long, but great whilst he is here. Hope we at least make Celtic work for anything they get today. Coys.

Gentlemen till the end.

Goes with nothing but my thanks and best wishes. [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

Tait is a fantastic player 👏

Outstanding overall team performance good use of subs obviously a few players now leaving and a few coming in COYS

Thought young Ethan was immense tonight. Covered every blade of grass, and not afraid to put himself about.

Oh forgot to say please keep the white socks

Surely this is not always the annual answer to our problems - ie. January transfer window panic signings.
I would rather see us get the best out of the squad we have (barring injuries) and by finding and fielding our best formation.
It's an important part of the manager's job to motivate and build up the players he has.
Do the supporters not deserve an explanation as to why the 2 'F's are not getting a chance to prove or establish themselves when it is clear to most people that we need more experience in the midfield.
It is also obvious to most of us that we will not get the best out of Brophy by playing him as a single striker.
We have only occasionally shown an attacking style to our play and created a lot of scoring opportunities. So perhaps it is the system/formation/coaching that's at fault rather than the personnel.

We didn't lose the game yesterday on the park; we lost it on the drawing board. 
I find it hard to believe that our manager failed abysmally to recognise the limitation of Ernhanon, MacPherson and Mason's ability to confront the strength of the Livi side especially the current form of these players.  I'm not blaming the players.
The substitutions made in the second half was symptomatic of the realisation that the manager had made a huge mistake.  
I think the biggest impact of this result and the way it was lost will be on the morale of the players.  Those subs who came on will feel they should have been chosen for the kick-off and for most of the other players seeing that mistake, their morale will have also taken a hit while looking at the whole picture.  Our latest signing, Brophy; what will he be thinking after being subbed and who never received the service he should have got.  His morale too will have weakened.
I laid in bed last night thinking about all of this and I still find it difficult to come to terms with it.  
Given all the enthusiastic effort those fans made in decorating the town with our colours I feel truly sorry.
Come Wednesday if we get beat this will underline Goodwin's failure yesterday.  We are more than capable of beating Utd but not before their morale has been re-inflated. 
 

I agree Billy
They are all hard work and pressence at set plays
Goodwin bought in to the media and tbf a few of us myself included
Obika and Durmus had to start as they have drive and look to go forward
They aren't great but as Livi have shown you don't need to be
Foley or Flynn should have came on today as the young players were too easy bullied
We were beaten before a ball was kicked today and that was down to the manager i'm afraid

Scorer Shaun Rooney, who we had on trial once.

Would love him back. 

Jamie is now our top scorer in all competitions with 7 goals, and joint top in the league. pretty sure he'll reach double figures before the season ends.
Well done young man great signing by Jim 
PS. If Jack Ross calls you tell him to go ^^^^ himself 

When are defenders going to learn that you risk a penalty if you wrap your arms around a striker or tug at his arms?

We signed Brophy to be our 1st choice striker, so he gets to play most weeks.
Hibs/Dons wanted him to be 2nd/3rd choice striker, so he gets to sit on the bench most week.
Could it be that he wanted to play more rather than sit on the bench.
So his move to us could be as much as playing time rather than money. 
 
 

We have jdh until the end of the season, he, s an excellent player but there will be other good players  about. Cammy and Ethan will have learned from him and may kick on and improve. Flynn can probably do the same job. Think if the new signings improve the team JDH may want to be part of what us potentially a right good team. 

If you believe that then you already know why we've been punished and you'll have answered your own questions.
This is about the severity of the punishment and you want our defence team to go in with some distracting, wittering pish about them having to prove we are guilty when we've already admitted it?

Great news welcome to Saints Eamonn
