Really need a striker who can hit the onion bag. Our defence looks too vulnerable to hold any half decent side at bay for 90 minutes.

I'd have to agree with Hagrid. Only one team in it since the first substitution. If he wanted to take Hooper off why not like for like with Pringle. Moving Vernam to the left when he was supporting Thomas really well, taking players on, getting a few dangerous shots off from the edge of the box and linking with the midfield was a bit puzzling. We seemed to drop deeper from then on and gave them more space to play. First goal Hendrie follows a runner inside and Collins doesn't cover the space left which he should and Vernam doesn't track the runner that of course Hooper always does and never loses concentration. Second one Collins leaves Whitmore with two men, marks no one and RHJ drops too deep playing the scorer onside. To be fair our forwards only had half chances not gilt edged ones and got nearly all of them on target forcing their keeper to make smart saves. Similar tight game to the ones we've won and drawn recently. It was about our turn to lose a close fought one. Really good without the ball for 50 minutes, still generally pretty poor when we're in possession with the odd passage of good football. Looking like a season of workmanlike performances bringing in enough points for a lower mid-table position without fear of getting relegated..
So in short we’re a work in progress then?

When Hooper left the field , the space allowed down our left was criminal....
A poor substitution... I don't see the need to alter a side that's holding its own and playing well... it all went downhill after that change... dropped far too deep and goals against were simply a matter of time... disappointing....

Is Kevin Nisbet Raith Rovers worth a look at or is the level too low? One thing is definite, if we don't score we will never win.

I wasn't at the game, but we are often told that Jolley is wrong not to sub Hooper. Then he does and people tell us they should not have taken off Hooper. .??

We're improving when we haven't got the ball but look so unbalanced and ponderous when we've got it. Looked shaky and uncertain at the back at times today and hoping my gut feeling isn't wrong about the next couple of games. Some old habits creeping in there. It's like MJ is halfway through putting a jigsaw puzzle together, and when he finally gets near the end, he'll find out there's a couple of pieces missing.. I'd like to see Pringle pair up with Hendrie on the left and Famewo get a run at centre half at some time, but I don't think it will happen..

I think 4 clean sheets from 5 would suggest that Collins & Whitmore have a few games still to run, I’m sure you’ll agree a settled CB partnership is a great foundation for pushing on. You may be guilty of other thinking things but based upon today’s and previous games subs your not the only one. We’re 19th which I don’t like, though when you think of the stupidity that has gone on since coming up and for numerous reasons the clubs above us this is about where we are at the moment.

Hooper was having a poor game and no surprise to see him taken off but a barmy decision to put Vernam out wide who was looking tired at that point. We could really do with a proper wide man out there. 2nd game in a row that Cook has been brought on and not offered anything.

Strange how we see games differently. Hopper was holding his own on the left side and supported Hendrie well. Vernam had a poor game and he if anyone should have been subbed. In my opinion that is. 😎 UTMM
