What happens from now on nobody can say Jim is the man to lead us on . If that first half showing  was the team putting out a statement after last week’s shit show then he needs to do the right thing and go as it’s hard to imagine that any of the back room staff could do any worse.

If we don't win this game then it tells you all you need to know about the managers tactics, ability and confidence in  himself and his players during MUST WIN games.

It will also teel you about the players mindset and their desire to win.

I'd line up with -

Walton

Thomson
Gallacher
Holt
McMann

Docherty
Sibbald

Fotheringham
Wotherspoon (if match fit)
Watt

Moult

No room for experimenting or tweaking for the rest of this season.  Get a strong 11 out there and let Inverness worry about how we set up and play instead of us concerning ourselves about them.

 This for me apart from Miller instead of Kai and Liam in at right back.

There can be no excuses for that embarrassment last night. Totally schooled by McPake and only got the goal and into the game 2nd half as Dunfermline let them after going 3 up.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised by this. It’s been highlighted by most posters on here for months that Jim can’t motivate his team for big games, has been sussed out by other managers and can’t make changes when everyone else can see it’s needed.

i dont think we lost thru lack of motivation we lost thru lack of quality
 

 
Your right about lack of quality but name me 1 Utd player who could walk off that pitch last night with his head held high and say he left everything he had out there for his team?

It’s obvious now that Jim is not the man to take us forward as we have definitely not improved as a team since the start of the season.

I noticed that Jim threw Declan upfront for the last 10 minutes and it was like the last days of Ray as manager with him doing the same with Mark Durban and we all know how that worked out !

Thought he had a good first half last night ( nobody had a good 2nd half ) and played like I would hope our academy players can. Put his foot in , made some tackles, drove forward with the ball, tried to play out from defence and was an improvement on his Saturday performance which is all you can ask. Don’t know if he is a right back but did enough to start on Saturday.

I thought the fans were very patient last night. Not many boos at half time , applauded the players when they could see they were trying even if it didn’t come off. Couldn’t blame anyone for booing at full time as yet again let down massively.

No positives tonight, just not good enough from management or the team. 0-2 defeat at home is just not acceptable.

A good 3points and funnily enough even when we went 1-0 I didn’t think we were going to lose this one. Glad to see that when Jim tried something different it worked.

Then we can start fresh next season.

did 3 of them not beat them in the Cup ?
 

 
Yeah so does that mean you’d put money on them to beat them in a playoff?

Everyone who has played a part in taking 2 points from 9 against our only rivals and let down the fans who have have spent there hard earned money to turn up and support them.
Can I remove the goalkeeper from the above as I don’t blame him

Thankfully I am not the only one, I have huge sympathy and also a wee bit of respect for Goodwin. The guy just won't win with some fans who either have extremely short memories or were watching the games with their eyes shut last season.

If you are looking for someone to blame for last season, blame one man, Mark Ogren. That's it he the buck stops with him. Goodwin took over one of the most lop sided squads ever assembled who were overpaid and lacked the basic fundamentals to survive. It couldn't have been a surprise to anyone paying attention that Mulgrew, Edwards,Birighitti etc lost the last five games, it can't have been, there wasn't a fuckin fighter in the squad. They were a team full of shitebags and when it came down to a scrap their were found out.

As Stillliving says we will play a lot worse and win.

Those calling for the manager to go need to give their heed a wobble.

 
Yeah he replaced the shitebags with what looks like more shitebags!
Don’t know how you can motivate players if they can’t be up for a full house top of the league clash and if that was them motivated then we are in a worse state then I thought

Can’t really say anything against the fans as yet again they turn out in big numbers only to be let down again. No it wasn’t the worst performance I’ve seen but only there manager put on 3 subs to try and win the game and all that matters is they got the 3 points last night and 7 from 9 which is just not good enough.

I put a 1-0 win for Utd in the prediction league and would take that right now but I would really like to see a good 90 minute performance as I can’t remember the last time this happened?
Been some good 45 minutes but we really need to start playing for the full 90.

Not really sure it’s about trusting Goodwin to do it or not as I can’t see him being replaced anytime soon and even if he was, who from the usual candidates that would apply would fill you with confidence that they could be trusted either?
