I also think it was so disrespectful of Smart to sit at half time in the dugout whilst the other subs trained. I rest my case.

But then he was signed by the current managerial team with that knowledge. Therefor they have to have the man management skills to counter that and get the best out of him and all the other players for that matter. Performances suggest otherwise unfortunately and for me their time is up. We are dreadful to watch and only having a season ticket keeps me going.

I usually hate the international break but at least this will give them 2 weeks to learn how to play other than lumping the ball up to 2 strikers who we are not playing to there strengths.
I agree with the lost the changing rumour considering we have had 5 different captains I’m pretty sure my shot is coming up next.He must be falling out with his players and stripping them of there captaincy.
As Morena was subbed of with a head injury he can’t play for 8 days that’s why he was not in the squad.
Will Graham putting 110% only one with that much of a work rate no wonder near enough every week he gets Man Of The Match.
I’m usually very critical of the Goodfellow but top performance today.

Where was Morena today?.Have we frightened off another good player as he is not a "favourite" ?. For those that weren’t at the Cowdenbeath game Giuliano was taken to hospital with concussion and was therefore ruled out of today’s game. Not sure where this nonsense about “frightening off another good player as he is not a favourite” comes from???

Without being at todays game can I just say a couple of points on what I've read. The past few games I've been to have been dire, so it's no surprise the attendance is rotten. Its a slog making yourself watch that. That said KH last year produced a miracle and deserves far more respect than a sacking in early October for us sitting 3rd bottom. With all said and done and our budget etc, where do folk think we should be?

Apologies Jaydee regards Morena as was not aware of that situation.Hope he is back to full health and fitness soon.Stand by my comments though that there are favourites in the squad,who continually get picked when it is obvious they bring zero to the table.What has Scally to do to start a game?.Seems like we play robotic fashion each week and kick ball around as if it were a grenade.

Daniel got a bad gash on his ankle in the Cowdenbeath game and was unable to play in the Celtic game on Tuesday which he was due to start. That’s why he was on the bench today.

Fair enough Jaydee-thanks for the update.Like Daniel and think he is a progressive player in terms of going forward.See is another guy who I know we have to be careful with,but could be a potent weapon for us if used correctly.We have a relatively talented squad which is crying out to be creative if utilised correctly.

Bit early to be shouting for the managers head but if we don't beat Fort William then I think that situation will take care of itself anyway as he would walk.
Bitterly disappointed at the way this season is panning out in an all too familiar manner.
Talk of unrest behind the scenes with players seems to carry some weight and we look like a rudderless ship without a ship.
No Berwick this season to deflect from our woefulness and I honestly cannot say hand on heart that there is a team in this league worse than Rovers.
Going to be another long winter. To stick or to twist ?.Brave move by Stennie getting in Davie Irons and they will reap the benefits of that.
Buckle in for our usual before Christmas white knuckle ride.

Goodfellow was decent enough on Saturday with no blame attachable but another question which has to be asked is where is the best of our three goalies? Another one who they've alienated by picking favourites above ability?

Could be considered to early but we have to remember last year where it was nearly too late. Don't want to be in that situation again. Also don't want to watch this garbage all winter.

Really disappointing performance on Saturday, looked like the combination of the last few weeks hitting the team and we just looked completely shot of confidence and ideas. As others have pointed out we are playing long balls when anything remotley good we have done this year has come from getting the ball on the deck and playing football.
We do seem to be missing that Morrena / Fozzy type in the midfield. I'm a big Garry Phillips fan but hes a winger rather than a central mid and is struggling to have the same impact in that role.
On the Subs thing, I'm not sure that our halftime warm ups was the reason we were 2-0 down but agree it could be a bit more organised. Really unfair to single out Smart on that one. It wasn't like he had sneaked off and hid he was talking to a member of staff (fitness coach i think ?) so this might have been planned. It wasn't like he was missing out on a vigorous warm up ! - Just conserving energy for his header ;-)
That said I wouldn't be starting Smart at this stage, I think our best bet may be when Ozzy See gets fully fit. Looks like a guy who might have that bit of spark we need to just make something happen.
Ah well here is hoping for a confidence boosting 10-0 win in the cup !

It’s all Smart’s fault cause he can’t jump 20 feet in the air to win the countless aimless high punts.
On a more serious note our main problem is our possession or lack of. The number of times we give the ball away with simplest of options is unbelievable.
Will Graham was MotM but good lord how many passes did he complete?

3 - 2 to Rovers. Must win or I'm taking up ballet lessons on a Saturday afternoon. Peter Vasiliev😂😂 I'm just wondering if Peter is still going to go through with this. I personally would have to look the other way if I saw him doing ballet moves in a skin tight costume. No offence Peter by the way
