When's the last time we signed a top class back? Tim Visser maybe? Certainly nobody since the European semi final in 2012. Bennett won't be able to do it all on his own- we desperately need more to follow.
We need to put a clear message out.
Hodge will not stay on as head coach.
Stop extending contracts on second rate players.
Sign a new coach
Get the new coach to start building his team.

Moreover, whether you are for or against the myreside move it has been sold out and a bit of atmosphere for what were two pretty pish games. The club has a real opportunity to build on it but if this current run of forty minute efforts continues combined with no head coach announcement i cant see fans turning out in similar numbers for the remainder of this season or next.
I half expect some signing news in the coming week to try and deflect from last night.

The Feral Goat wrote:We are talking degrees of crapness here, I don't think anyone comes away with credit in the second half (maybe Weir) Carmichael was just more noticeable than Gilchrist to me, however as you suggest Gary, it is perhaps just the yellow headguard?
