adamntg Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Another game, another lead, another lead conceded. Time for it to get much worse as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 And like buses, opposition goals come in pairs. And it's Buaben, who we wouldn't offer a contract to last year. Oh, and we released Hearts captain Gomis as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 WTF, 3-1 now. Total collapse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 It's getting time to start calculating at what point we could be technically relegated. Only 18 games to go, I would guess we could be down with ten games to spare at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Motherwell winning (of course). If I were Thompson I would seriously consider if it was worth throwing money at this in January when the cause is already lost. Maybe cut the wage bill and give the young boys six months of first team experience as Hearts did, ready for a promotion push next year.

kumnio Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) 2-0 Motherwell. Perfectly conceivable that the bottom two will be Dundee and Utd after the weekend fixtures. Gaving Gunning sent off, the guy has always been comical. Edited December 30, 2015 by kumnio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also expect Utd to win, but we will probably have to score four goals to do it. Could just as easily be 5-0 Dundee. Hopefully a new year and a new start.

hannibal smith Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 If it's the same keeper as tonight it will be a dundee win, he was horrendous, as was our finishing in the second half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Whatever happened to the Japanese keeper that they signed? He has played at a very high standard Have waited seven weeks for a work permit and attendant other red tape. He only signed officially yesterday. Maybe he'll be in for Saturday but I hae ma doots. Damage is done now anyway. Eight months to put it right ready for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been as good as a goal start every game. For me, the lack of a proper goalkeeper is the reason for our predicament. Or one of them anyway.

Ta Ta Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 He's been gash for weeks. Been as good as a goal start every game. For me, the lack of a proper goalkeeper is the reason for our predicament. Or one of them anyway. With a decent goalkeeper we still would be struggling because of how poor the rest of the squad is but probably still in touch with the teams above. It beggars believe how MacNamara thought that having 3 young goalkeepers with something like 4 top flight games was ever going to work - especially given how how poorly those young keepers had played in those games. I have always believed that we had a chance of staying up because Mixu would be able to bring his own players in January but I am losing confidence in Mixu himself. No recognised striker in tne second half. Swapping defensive midfield players with 10 minutes to go when you are a goal down, you have no more substitutions and haven't had a shot on target since halftime. This strange goalie not allowed to kick the ball long ploy (3 centre halfs, one in front of the box, one left, one right, keeper passes the ball to one of them who kicks it long or mispasses it. WTF is that all about?) Unless we have 4 new players in very soon, I really think we are down. Unfortunately I am not getting any sense of urgency from the club that they are prepared to do that.

Pool Q Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Made hard work of what should have been a comfortable win last night. Missed enough chances to win in at a canter, won't get away with that very often. Edited December 31, 2015 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all that apart from the "Unless" bit at the end. We're down. We said we had to stay in touch till January and we haven't.

We said we had to stay in touch till January and we haven't. How many more games do you have against Killie? Anything less than full points and it's probably done. Hopeful of an instant return if you do go down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
