Not seen anything in the past few games to think we can win this one. With some of the most experienced guys not playing I can’t see anything else than a defeat. I hope I am very wrong tho and quite happy to munch on some humble pie

Can anyone confirm if Harlain is still on loan. His deal was taking him to the end of the season but noticed he featured for Aberdeen u20's during the week.

Harlain Mbayo has been injured and as was on a development loan can also play for Aberdeen, unfortunately he was injured in their under 20's match this week while making his comeback.

Looks like we are playing for 9th place and taking our chances in the play offs.
Forfar home to Alloa, then home to QP, away to Airdrie. Rovers away to Airdrie, home to East Fife, away to Ayr. QP away to Raith, away to Forfar, home to Arbroath.
Going down to Ayr needing something could be tricky.

The old boy playing the Death March on his wee tin drum - very appropriate for us at the moment

That was dire again today. Forfar are poor yet we made them look like world beaters by comparison.
We can't even do the basics - like pass the ball 6 feet, in a straight line to a team mate. As for the defence, don't get me started. Reidy did okay but the other 3 plus the goalkeeper have no confidence in each other. And with good reason; they're mince. Every time their keeper punted the ball long it was panic stations.
We lost the goal at the end by committing men forward. I've no problem with that as a draw was no use to us. They were really 3 on 1 but the guy still had a lot to do and finished well enough.
As for finishing 9th, we'll be lucky to finish 10th at this rate.

Another poor performance today,nothing to do with hard luck stories,we were missing the likes of Trouten and Fisher granted but we knew exactly what we had to do today and we fell well short. result puts Forfar safe i reckon so its either trap door or play offs for us. season fizzling out and not soon enough.

We were never really at the races today. Plenty of endeavour but no real cutting edge or physical strength to brush aside Forfar. They had the bulk of chances and we missed Trouten/Fisher and Davidson today - some problematic equations would be required to stay up without play offs that are more akin to Only Connect or University Challenge than to sort out here- but if Ayr win the league in next two games then we can be party poopers on the last day - but it is essential that Queens Park lose the next 3 - will be cheering for Forfar/Raith and Arbroath in the final weeks.

Probably the worst Albion Rovers performance ever. That's what happens when the video from hell showing the slating the team by the manager for all to see is aired!! Never hang your dirty washing out in public. The new directors have some big decisions to make. Soon!

Utterly demoralised after that and I've sat through plenty defeats and last minute goal conceeded, bit today was really bad, a new low. Cannot recall a moment when we made their keeper work. We are a poor side, devoid of ideas and confidence. Gair enough misding troutts and fish but the rest need to step up. Lost count of the amount of times any potential move just broke down !!!!!! Or the ball uninspiringly trickled through to their goalie. No determination. That's a game we HAD to win but nobody was interested or so it seemed. D7 spot on......everytime the ball went in the air towards our defence it was panic stations. If the team lose hitting the post, the bar, chopped of goals, 20 shots on target then I have no complaints but we are getting none of that, not even close. Starting to think jai up front thinks he playing championship tig........all he wants to do is run into folk and big groups of defenders !!!!!! Utterly frustrating. Sad day when the highlight of the match was the ball landing in a bin in the stand...... .Just like our hopes of staying in this league........binned. Queens park will win eventually.

The team looked devoid of confidence and no wonder after our fly on the wall bare all. Defensively looked like the players didn’t know their roles. All over the park we were far physically weaker and bullied by their front men and that big centre half of theirs. We had the odd bit of good possession with no end product. Absolutely can look at the players regarding the result but to me it looked like no game plan from the start in a must win game that ultimately gave us a disadvantage. I would be interested to hear Kerr’s thoughts

Yeah the ball landing in the bin is a metaphor for our season! Can't remember their keeper having a save to make. He didn't even look dirty when he came off on a quagmire of a pitch.
Buck stops with the manager. He signed this dross. Shopping in the lower reaches of last years L2 and LL clubs. Maybe that's all we could afford but as with everything in life, you get what you pay for.
