    As I may have mentioned today, CH is responsible for our set piece performance. Why on earth would you reward him after that?

    Was him announcing his retirement as a player, the board's way of cocking the trigger for Clarke's departure I wonder?

    Oh no, one of my all time heroes to inherit this shambles of a group of players… and this time next year he’ll be in the firing line.

    Too many players in this squad are simply not good enough. Several get picked week in, week out.

    I would. The players didn’t care today. They had zero passion whatever happens they are not playing for their manager. They are poor trained and managed.

    I think a committee consisting of my cat, my 3 year old niece and frosty the snowman would be better. If should also be the last game for 4 or 5 of those players.

    Wilson had the same players to work that Viv had the previous year. I don't think we made any signings that summer. The difference in the style and quality of play was worlds apart. We finished 6th after Wilson's first year in charge having been in a relegation fight most of the previous season.

    Asbaghi and Schopp had much of the squad that Val had taken to the play-offs the previous season and got us relegated without a fight.

    Coaching and management really can make a difference and I believe we saw dozens of signs today to really question Clarke's credentials in both areas. That's not to say Hourihane is the man to take us forward, but I'm now of the opinion that Clarke isn't.

    Don't give it Hourihane. What's he done since arriving? Can't even be arsed putting his boots on and giving it a crack.

    Give it to a Scottish, no nonsense Manager who is doing well with a lower league club that does not take any 5h1t from anyone.

    If someone came in to your work place and you were missing six things you usually can use to do your job to the best of your ability (Slonina, Roberts, Jalo, Connell, Earl and Phillips), would you still be able to work just as effectively?

    Please god no. He's shown absolutely nothing to suggest he is a manager.

    It's a learning curve.
