Far too much emphasis was put on this !
We knew the situation and we knew it wasn`t just about defenders
We Knew that we badly needed someone who could score goals , but didn`t get anyone in ,
And with players coming back it still needs them to get up to speed , and by that time if we do not start scoring goals it will be too late , we will be doomed
8 games to turn things around , so it has to start on friday night !no if`s no but`s we need to start scoring goals and stop losing them cheaply

Which prolific goalscorer did we miss out on, wullie? Rudden? He preferred Raith apparently and I`m not sure he`s so prolific. Cillian Sheridan? I see he scored one and had an assist today but he would have been a gamble just like Chris Kane. We tried to sign Brophy from Ross County apparently but they wouldn`t let him go.
Fans seem to live in this fantasy world where clubs release good, consistent players in the January transfer window which is totally detached from reality. We`ll just have to make the best of what we`ve got. The players who were injured can only play themselves back to match fitness by playing games so it`s good that Bene and KRH came through today`s game apparently unscathed. I still think our squad is at least as good as those of the teams around us.

Cillian Sheridan is better than our options up front.
It`s time to wake up and smell the coffee we got promoted and had an opportunity to get rid of the deadwood. Instead we gave them new deals. Signed players who have to play out of position to fit our system in KRH and moffat who are wingers not wing backs.
We struggled with goals and unfortunately goals win you games. Unfortunately we just don`t score enough goals.

Doesn`t matter who named him my point stands, he will score more goals than any of our strikers this season.

So will lots of players in this league but we can`t sign them. Actually only 3 players are averaging better than a goal every two games :-
Brian Graham
Partick Thistle
App. Goals
25 16
Ruari Paton
Queen`s Park
28 15
Louis Moult
Dundee United
25 13
Prolific goalscorers aren`t that easy to come by.

hello wee eck, how are you doing ?
I cannot remember me naming any prolific strikers !
However I did say we knew what area we knew we were short on , and that was someone to put the ball in the net
And Wee eck I certainly do not live in a fantasy world !
I live in the real world and all I pointed out was where our biggest problem was , We do not have someone in our ranks who can score goals at this level on a regular basis and goals win games !!
I know there was a couple of players who we didn`t sign for one reason or another this is the nature of the beast ,
I also sometimes wonder if Mcpake is getting the backing he needs

I was just pointing out that players who regularly put the ball in the net aren`t too easy to come by in the January window, wullie. Clubs tend to want to hang on to them. Kane`s not prolific but he does have a bit of `go` about him. Just our luck that he seems to have fitness issues.

I think it`s because he never spotted Todd`s potential when he first emerged on the scene. According to Berkey we have never had a decent midfielder at the club but he has never identified one we might have signed who could live up to his expectations.

The game passed Matty by yesterday. I`ve said my 10 pence about KRH. He`s not gonna be the answer. Matty is a proper player he needs to get muscled in now.
Matty and Hammy on the pishy Rovers poster yesterday? No guessing why.
Hammy and Bene are the only ones a see up for the shithouse and tore in material for the club. We are a good team alot of the time. Time to get ruthless all over the pitch or we are sleep walking to play offs. Not of the good kind đ

Don`t be silly. Calling out a player as being poor on the day (which was what happened) is different from repeatedly saying someone isn`t good enough to play at this level.
You knew that though.

Fancy calling a player (KR-H )honking when he has only played a game and a bit after coming back from injury . surely you can`t expect him to be straight into the pace of games

It`s strange this injury thing, the fans are largely kept in the dark.
Take kane, he transformed our front line and got injured.
Lots of debate about whether it was an illness or an injury. If the latter was it a new injury or an old one that came back.
He`s on loan so we depending on the deal are paying for some or all of his wages.
There has to be a point when we just send him back.
I want him to stay and play, but if he cant we should give him back.

It`s frustrating for fans but I think it`s understandable that the club can`t give a running commentary on a player`s absence particularly when he is not our player. If he is injured I would imagine St Johnstone would be managing his treatment and would have a big say in his availability. You would think there would be something in the deal that would say what would happen if the player was not available. I presume the Rovers aren`t paying for Ashcroft if it looks like he is out for the season.

I don`t think people expect a running commentary but i think as fans we should be told why Kane wasn`t available on Saturday. Last week it was fatigue so something else kept him out of the game what was it.

There were reports that he had felt something in training that may have indicated a recurrence of a previous injury but I don`t know if they were `official`. Players have a right to privacy about their medical history like the rest of us. There`s also the issue of making public information which may benefit the opposition.

But why not just give an official reason rather than giving leway to online theories?
Players are maybe due some privacy on certain injuries, but these guys are getting paid decent sums of money to play football and entertain people for a living. Its not like they have a managers job in Aldi that they are missing a shift forâŠ.

I would say that a manager in Aldi (salary ÂŁ50,600, rising to ÂŁ65,995) will be earning more than most if not all of our squad so not sure âdecent sums of moneyâ is quite accurate if you want to make that comparison

How about the burden of responsibility shift to football fans to act like grown adults and (1) giving players privacy and (2) not fuelling online theories.
And like someone else just said, most of our team won`t be on life changing money.
