After last week's defeat there were quite a few people on FB calling for him to come back and drop shinnie and Nilsen. I pointed out there that fyvie is still easily coves best player and we wouldn't want him in our first team now.

City 21s suggest there's definitely talent there.

Watched the young boy smith playing at QOS yesterday and he was electric for the whole game. Might have been having a great game but he looked levels above div 1. Can play both wings and ten Now before we slate D1 remember last week people were wanting Marshall back from cove. This boy is a mile above anyone we have on loan in that league.

Good win. Thought the starting eleven done well as did Morris when he came in. We looked weaker with shinnie and Clarkson towards the end ( though Dunfermline maybe had to have a go by then ). Thought palaversa was great in the first half and Nilsen looked to be in charge. As a result the team seemed organised and there was no sense of panic. Despite a hideous miss, nesbit came alive in the box for the third. Not rocket science, if you put the ball in the danger zone, he'll get there. Great to have pape back too. Let's hope it's the start of a recovery.

Working the ball wide well but delivery not great. Keskinen is rotten.

Having watched cove this season I don't think either is ready to add to the premier League. Fyvie is still their best player and we don't need him back.

The football equivalent of erectile disfunction.

Is this a direct response to Ambrose

Why can shinnie not pass a ball that isn't three feet behind the runner

We look totally sterile. Moving the ball but gaining nothing. Two passes forward then a twenty yard pass back.

I'm not that bothered if he goes, tidy feet but lacks influence on games for me.

Yes he'll put the boot in and argue with the ref but he's not a leader on the field. He can't make the team go up a gear when needed. He has the acceptance of going through the motions engrained over the past few seasons and for me a new broom is needed. Didn't mean he's our worst player by any stretch but the psyche of the team has to be altered and he's fundamentally part of the habit.

Ib think Jimmy has to remove shinnie if he wants to change the attitude. He's been there as skipper under too many failures. He sets the tone.

So much to dissect We're a disgrace. Could've been six. Doohan first class and only bright spot. Should be number one for me. This 12 game run is totally unacceptable. Our passing is a disaster Shinnie is done Control seems to be a team issue. Nobody can trap a fucking ball. I don't care where we are sitting, another three games like this and jimmy has to come under serious pressure. Who'd have thought that before the semi pumping.

Fair

Why isn't Polvara replacing shinnie. He might actually be able to turn and pass to a red shirt from deep

Watching us try to play out. Jesus fuck. So frustrating

Why is Clarkson cutting back there? Look more scared to lose the ball than they are interested in winning the game.

Get duk on. Keskinen is torture. What a ball from Leighton that was and he'd no idea what to do with it

The fuck was that? I've supported Nilsen all season but that's criminal

We seem to play backwards a lot. Hoping a big diagonal comes off. Constantly putting ourselves under pressure. That's on Jimmy, surely tactical and it hasn't worked for some time.

I genuinely think Polvara could be a good centre half. He has height, pace and composure. As little as we've seen of him there, he takes away the threat over the top with his reading if the game and pace.

Garbage again. Strong start then lost belief. Tobers looked ok, mcgarry put in a shift. Otherwise we were bang average. Doohan makes two fantastic saves and deserves to keep his place. Morris deserves more time because nobody else can create a thing. Props to Polvara, did really well again filling in at the back.

Thought Clarkson had been our only composed midfielder. Whilst shinnie continually hooks it blind over his head into the channel hoping a red shirt gets there first. Okkels disappointing so far but we aren't building it well. Back to my earlier shinnie comment. By the time he turns the ball to the wide areas is cut off. We're then firing it back to a CB or full back and launching it 40yds for a 50/50
