Somehow, I just don't feel warm glow looking at those names.

That's a difficult one GRE. He inherited a pile of sh1te, which he seems to be offloading as fast as possible - probably hasn't gone far enough yet for the likes of you and me! Had he been here from the beginning of the season I would have been be inclined to agree. In fairness I would give him a full season. I think we are still in shock from the appalling performance on Saturday, where the new boys had given us a glimmer of hope. Any warm glow we might have had was blown away by the sea breezes at Gayfield (actually unless, my geography was all wrong it was a sou'wester, not a nor'easter). A repeat performance on Friday will make me think me have replaced sh1te with more sh1te.

Was that the game we won 4- or 5- 1?

The highlights make it look as if 2-1 grossly flattered us.

Think Steevo was just being facetious AJ. Usually the statement 'the board fully supports the manager' immediately precedes 'manager leaving the club by mutual agreement'!

I agree.

If I was being honest I'd say the same. I thought there was really good player in there at one time, but you have to admit he's had his chance and failed to impress. As you say, really nice lad I hope he gets sorted out. I couldn't, however, understand the logic of someone - I can't remember where exactly, so hope I'm not imaging it - who said something about him getting picked up by another championship club. As we are rock bottom, and deserve to be, why would anybody pick up a player who hasn't always made the bench amongst a bunch of failures. Rhetorical question.

Like nearly every other manager in the league, including the one we're up against n Friday.

You forgot Robson and possibly Williamson. I remain, at the very best, agnostic about O'Ware. And GRE beat me to the punch (as usual) re Penrice and Bannigan.

One of our eternal optimists.

If he was to hit the ground ...

Worrying. He was the boy that was going to stop up the holes in our defensive set-up. An enforcer: sounds like he needs to enforce a diet.

Starting out with 6 out of 10 defensive outfield players maybe didn't help either.

Quite true, it 'feels' exactly the same. This is the worrying bit.

Chilling when someone as well balanced as your good self comes away with a statement like that. Does the team have a collective sense of entitlement whereby they are only remotely conscious of the dire state of things. Or has Bunter already factored in the probability of going down before we go up (his post match comments savoured ever so slightly of complacency - 'we'll need to do better next week'). Or the next again week, or the week after that ….

We seem to have an awful lot of off days, and even more where we don't adapt to conditions, strangely enough more than any other team, which must be why we are bottom in the league.

Mind you with the official site still showing 1-0 to Arbroath (and that goal scored by Wighton, 33) you wonder if the malaise starts from the top.

Indeed. Would make a decent start though.

On the face of it, Saunders McGinty and O'Ware can go any time

And Morton step 6 points clear of us against the Arabs.

Despite my earlier enthusiasm and (misplaced) faith if we can't get at least a point at places like Arbroath, notwithstanding all the new faces (just like the old faces!) we're probably going down. And deserve to do so. We look as if we were slaughtered in the first half, not just beaten. Bunter needs to plan for the long term.

Ayr supporters no doubt currently squirming with glee. Who can blame them?

Me too. Might blow his bunnet off!!

Not finished yet, GRE. Wonder what the Bunnet will throw at us in the 2nd half. Not his bunnet anyway.

9 corners , 7 shots to our nil and nil. And it ain't finished yet.
