Your point is if my opinion isn't a ' we will be fine, KTF ' one then I shouldn't express it? I say what I see. What i see is a team drifting to relegation without a fight by Easter. This certainly doesn't make me feel good. No my point is positive encouragement is more likely to benefit the team and the manager than unrelenting negativity. Many on here see the same things as you do but refrain from stating the obvious when it is likely to have a detrimental effect on the team's confidence. Constructive criticism is one thing but unceasing negativity from day one is unlikely to have any beneficial impact on the team you support - so why pursue it?

Mr Zo Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 We have to remain positive and hope the new players gel quickly and we can get some wins and climb the table.I know it's hard to remain positive in our current situation but we have to. I want to see a good bond form between the player's and fans that helps us fight as one to get us out of this mess.There is hope there buddies and we have to cling onto it. Stay positive buddies.

Now it's changed days and notable since Jack Ross was appointed. I'm all for your opinion makes for a healthy debate if a frustrating one.

Prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. Tough to see us escaping the drop from here but nit impossible. I for one will be behind us come what may. Every spiral has a bottom and if ours happens to be in the third tier so be it. Nowt we as fans can do bar support the team, the rest is up to the players and management. As for today, in most circumstances a draw at EEP would be a reasonable result, yes we need wins but in isolation it's not a bad result today. Pity Ayr got an excellent point at Falkirk.

A pity Ayr got a point at Falkirk, a pity Queens could get a point at Dundee United, and a pity Dumbarton were able to beat Dundee United while we went there recently, took the lead and still lost. It's also a pity that into this run of five games with four of them against teams we 'must beat' we have so far managed to be gubbed at home by Queens and draw with Dunfermline. The next league game must be close to being in 'must, must, must win' territory. Still got some blind faith rattling around in my tank somewhere, but the weeks are chalking off and off. Before we know it the dreaded 'arithmetically impossible' gets a dusting down. Pah, bah humbug, wank tank.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balmullo Bud Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Better performance 2nd half and a good point in the end against a team on a good run. Thought the team showed more fight after HT. Good backing from the fans can't be underestimated. The players need our backing like today. Thought Langfield played well and Baird did well when he came on for Webster.Morgan could've and maybe should've nicked it at the end. McAllister, Morgan and Magennis have a lot of talent and are exciting to watch, especially McAllister, but their decision making is understandably a wee bit raw. Loy looks like he could be vital for us this season when he gets up to speed. Jury still out on Storie, but big ask to come straight in and for the full 90. Playing the full game won't have done Loy or him any harm though. My wee lad is relieved that his Pars supporting teacher can't rip the piss out of him this time round.

Bobby_F Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 2 hours ago, TopCat said: Another correct score, should really start betting on these. Yet another desperately poor day for us. Yet another week gone by without any meaningful inroads into the yawning gap between us and the pack. No ground at all made up on Ayr who had a more difficult game than us. Five games without a win now, this hopeless run starting after we had 'turned the corner' apparently. Just the 1 point from 2 very winnable games against QOTS and Dunfermline. Not nearly enough for a team cut adrift at the bottom. It's getting grimmer and grimmer by the week. Div, any chance you can switch B&W to the same reputation system as you have on P&B.

St.Ricky Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Really enjoyed the game. Either side could have won. Saints had more poseesion and corners. Shots on goal were almost the same. Tellingly DAFC had one more....the penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
