The exact side that played yesterday could be made a little more expansive and I think, also make us more solid. Shift McGowan to right back and push Scannell on. Those 3 centre backs didn't look like they knew how to play in a 3 - maybe it can be worked on in training. For example, the spare man has to be much quicker to move across and pick people up. Yesterday was a constant case of people not knowing who to pick up. I wonder whether playing a pair might help. And McGowan doesn't look a centre back. If we're looking at free agents, I wonder whether someone like Paul Caddis might be on our radar? Right back who can play in midfield. Scottish lad, so maybe Hopkin knows of him through his connections. Chris Baird doesn't have a club either. And given how desperate we are for forwards... May be Darren Bent? Or even Simeon Jackson, or Cody McDonald? The three at the back is killing us at the moment. I don’t think ive seen such a slow back three so no one ends up picking the runners.

I can see a Hopkin induced overhaul in January and getting rid of the shite like Bruenker and Wright and maybe nkp. Free up some wages and bring a few of his men in to get above that dotted line if we're not cut too far adrift by then

Unless there's a proven quality centre half to come in that would be disastrous. So it'll probably happen, yeah.

I'd get rid of all our cbs if I could, all absolutely dire Couldn't understand some supporters creaming themselves over McGowan's limited appearances last season. You need more than what we saw of him to judge whether he's any good or not. He's been dogshit this season, as has O'Connor and NKP. Defence is so shaky, disorganised and leaky that they'll be lucky to keep a clean sheet before Xmas. The central 3 continually ball watch, can't read the game or work as an organised unit.The squad's so unbalanced that there's nobody to replace them with either. Letting Killa go looks more ridiculous with every passing game. Then add the fact that they're creating the square root of fuck all at the other end to the equation and it's not difficult to see why they're in big trouble. I just hope that Hopkin tells Rahic that unless he brings 3/4 quality players of his choosing in January. With no more of this transfer committee bullshit. Then there's a high probability that they'll be fighting the drop next year. My only hope is if they do get relegated. Then Rahic will sell up and fuck off.

that killa was allowed to walk away, or was pushed out is just another sign of the incompetence of Edin and his 'coaches'. Under different circumstances he'd have loved to stay, but it was obvious that he clearly didn't like what he saw, or the atmosphere, or Edin didn't want to pay more for him contractually. Really, all that matters is we created a situation, for whatever reason, where we lost a decent, experienced CB just voted POTY, and look at the calamity defence we've been left with.

Watch the highlights back and on top of being at fault for both goals, watch O’Connor for that chance their no18 skies in front of the kop. O’Connor goes to win the ball, fails, gets turned and left for dead by no18 then actually runs away from him leaving him completely unmarked on the fucking pelanty spot when the cross comes in. Fucking atrocious defending.

Fucking atrocious defending. Kilgallon would walk into that defence at the moment, you would expect NKP to be the weak link but he has been the better of the three. McGowan and O'Connor have struggled to work together.

Never mind guys and gals. DH says that 'We again take plenty of positives. All the things we worked on in training came off'. I really am not sure that he was watching the same game as I was. If one shot on target and terrible defending is the result of everything worked on coming off, what happens when it doesn't?
