Absolute sick of the negativity. The lads try'd their best and didn't get the result that we wanted, It will will happen we will drop points, Just get behind the boys and roar us on next game!

22 Nov 2015 07:55:43
MW started this "negative" comparison with Hearts - with we are 1 point better than they were after Hibs result now it's continuing with "we only 1 point worse"!

Hearts aren't in this league - the worry is the recent record is poor - "the table doesn't lie" we were 11 points ahead of Hibs at the end of October.

We have not be playing or winning well recently.

Something has to change and quickly unless of course the goal of some fans is simply to be favourably compared with Hearts but would be happy with play-offs again!

22 Nov 2015 08:52:33
Rangers57 correct me if I'm wrong we've only lost 4 points so hibs must have had games in hand to be 11 points behind us. You seem to be implying we've threw away an 11 point lead which isn't true.

22 Nov 2015 10:42:39
Of course but it is all in the mind from their prospective they, Hibs are back from being 11 behind.

By the same measure Celtic came from 15 behind us to over take us at Christmas and win the league before we went down!

Games in hand are not worth anything until you win them remember last season for us - we didn't win them. Hibs have!

Clear point is Hibs are stringing the recent results together we are not.

Something needs to break this recent trend - hopefully we
can string two results together before Hibs play again maybe they will be off the boil when they play Falkirk, QofS and us in December.

Ps - hooly78

We beat the "mighty" Alloa 4-0 at Ibrox - is that worthy of praise (part-time club etc) plus Falkirk beat them 5-0 the week or so later?

You can't really be happy with recent results - up to the manager to change things "luck" etc - can't keep saying we were unlucky and it will be ok?

22 Nov 2015 11:42:56
Can't be happy with recent results! We've only dropped 4 points I'm over the moon with are start to the season. So when we were beating teams by 4 5 and 6 goals u weren't happy cause they where part time teams.

22 Nov 2015 12:04:39
Ranger57 - I would take a 4-0 win over any team, part time not being what it was 30 years ago when all they did was a bit of shooty in practice. Remember we weren't beating these teams by that score last season for what it's worth.
We haven't had any serious problems with matches up until probably yesterday's result. I don't go to matches but from what I can gather the last time we played like a machine was the 4-0 win over Morton.

A defeat and a draw equates to 5 points dropped. I think the recent criticism is justified as we have struggled in a number of games we won. The team isn't playing well and the 8 point lead has evaporated very quickly. Have to say very disappointed with the 2 loan signings from Arsenal and Spurs. Thought both would stand out in this league but neither has any end product. Think it speaks volumes for both that neither has scored yet in a very weak league.

22 Nov 2015 18:22:19
I have also been disappointed in the loanees, expected more and they haven't looked like scoring. Zelalem is a tidy passer of the ball, and more effective than Oduwa I feel, he doesn't do what a winger should.

22 Nov 2015 18:47:53
Still think if wee get a good striker in January we will win league. Now that the eustace debacle is over I expect us to bring in a strong holding midfielder as I said after hibs game I'd let the arsenal lad go back in January. I'd also give Thompson and hardy a run of games between now and January.

21 Nov 2015 23:33:41
In January we will be signing players. lol listen let's get real unfortunately we have to play the market. come January we may be weaker as lots players out contract and if we get bid for any of them there off. we don't have that many pounds to spend we have to play the market. if we get one in plus a loan were doing good.

22 Nov 2015 00:30:34
Scotty, unless we sell players we won't be signing anybody.

23 Nov 2015 21:53:46
Clowns zelalem has had 2 bad games since he arrived head an shoulders above what we have in midfield honestly you would think we were being outclassed week in week out the way you lot winge MW has only been in the job a few months and he has changed it for the better dramatically.

21 Nov 2015 19:00:30
Wheels off the magic bus for a moment! Lack of know how in breaking teams down, pass the ball to death but no end product and the opposing team are delighted when we get a corner - cause it is a disaster! Time to step up the pace Mr W and do what you say "learn from it".

21 Nov 2015 19:12:12
This has been a long time coming though we have struggled against a lot of the teams in the league and we are so 1 dimensional. If Warburton thinks we only need 2 players in January then he is sadly wrong. We are just an average side who believed their own hype earlier on in the season. Also this Magic Hat nonsense is hopefully been put to bed.

21 Nov 2015 20:02:23
What aloud of nonsense were still top on goal difference with a game in hand. 1 game ago we won 4nil do you not think that hibs deserve credit as well. Basically every signing mw has made has been a success and I'd say any signings in Jan will be a success and will help us get promoted I don't think we should be panicking yet.

How can you say the signings in January will be a success when you don't even know who they are? No one is panicking just telling how they see it. In short the team isn't as good as some fans think they are and Warburton hasn't done anything yet.

22 Nov 2015 08:58:33
I think so far his signings gave been successfull so I'm hoping any signings in Jan will be the same. My only criticism would be that hardy and possibly Thompson havnt been given a run of games no matter how good a pro Miller has been he is done and Clarke isn't good enough.

22 Nov 2015 00:56:40
Holy exactly mate, the way some on here are talking they must think we lost the league today. i also think his will lose or draw more games than us, his will not even finish second IMHO, I think Falkirk will take that spot, and they also drew today.

21 Nov 2015 17:36:30
Also can't understand why Hardie hasn't been given a chance these last few matches.

22 Nov 2015 06:48:30
I think he is still with the Scotland setup for the U19's isn't he?

21 Nov 2015 17:33:06
Am not a fan of Clark but he has scored a couple recently and surely should have been put on rather than Miller, not good stuff at the moment though, will we beat St M and make the final? Well we should.

21 Nov 2015 16:52:02
Crap today, I knew it. To much tippy tappy, turning into a mini arsenal, no steel.

21 Nov 2015 16:58:26
What mw does in January is now more more important than ever, he needs to and I'm sure he while bring in quality players. We can afford another year in this division. A goal scorer is a must. Let's hope that King gets his cheque book out.

21 Nov 2015 17:05:34
Very disappointing again - 4 points out of last 9!

Shades of Super Ally throwing away a 15 point lead against Celtic before we went down?

Players too busy dreaming of winning title in higher league next season and we are not even out of this one yet by a long way!

21 Nov 2015 13:03:42
Anyone know what's happening with Souness? Hope the big mans alright.

21 Nov 2015 13:21:09
Only just heard that he had been taken to hospital in Bournemouth on a stretcher but not thought to be serious. Get well soon Souness. Love him or hate him the guy revolutionised Scottish football.

21 Nov 2015 17:35:53
must have got his tax bill.
