Why Cant

[Sebastiano Nela]

We get basic defending right when our manager was a decent centre half and his assistant was a decent full back? 

[Cerulean]

Recruitment? Definitely.

Training? Who knows.

Game management? ?

Solid against Motherwell and St.Johnstone to shipping six defendable goals to Rangers & Ross County certainly does ask questions. I didn't see the Rangers game (only highlights) but watched the match today and other than two cross balls into the box in the first half we were fine. Second half it looked like keystone cops at times.

Just think our defenders aren’t good enough for this league and that’s why they make so many mistakes

This myth about McPake being a decent centre half amazes me. Yeah he was a hard b*****d and put his head where it hurt and did get a few goals. However as a centre half I thought he was poor and constantly made mistakes due to poor positioning and anticipation of the Game. It does not surprise me in the slightest that he can't organise a defence.

Because James mcpake wasn't a very defender when he was a player

All about opinions. I thought he was decent. He's certainly played at a high enough level to know enough about how to feckin defend.

-16 goal difference after 17 games is embarrassing for JMP.

Injuries have played a part but lack of recruitment is the main problem imo. 

8 goals in 2 games v Dross Co is the stuff of humiliation

It's this. Doesn't matter how good (or bad) the training is if the players in question just aren't good enough for this league.

Did Mcpish not start life as a striker for livi, then became an average CH

They weren’t good enough last season and he’s kept every single one of them when the should have all been moved on

It is a myth, Hibees  thought he was murder

Very small margins today, Mcowans chance goes in, we are looking at top 6 instead of down the way.

Easy for me to say when I’m sitting on top of  a radiator and not driving halfway down the A9, but I think we need to stay positive, huge 5 games coming up, we need everyone on the same page backing the players and manager.
