Today proved that we don't have the same kind of skill in our team needed to succed. So where do we go from here. Does Sammy have a complete over haul of the team and build a completley new sqaud? Or does he just add the few players?
I think that some of our players have to go. They simpley aren't quick or skilled enough to get us to where we are next season.
I say that we get preparing from league two next year and just forget about thursday. Just show up and try and get a little pride back.

You can blame the players, blame the management, blame fatigue but at the end of the day we have finished 4th in the league this season and nobody expected that. Its a credit to the team and the management.
We should just put today out of our heads, regain some pride on thursday and recoup for next year. We dont need any drastic changes

I agree with you. BUT look at our team. We have a lot of very good players, but they are old and slow now. Sammy seriously needs to look to more youthful and maybe not proven players. I really think that Drummond has to go im afraid. And well i really don't rate Hunter of late and i HATE to say that.

The ONLY way we are going to be anywhere near a play off place next season is by bringing in at least 6 players who slot straight into the first team. The only players in today's squad that I would hope to see starting regularly next season are Roche (if he stays), Parrish, Duffy, Haining and Jevons.

Simply because the nucleus of our side is slow and aging. I don't believe for a second that this current squad would be able to achieve a similar league position next year. Football is all about continual improvement. Everyone I speak to says they're not entirely sure how we managed to finish 4th because we haven't been that great. Stand still and we'll go backwards. I said the same thing this time last year and we did make quite a few changes. The same has to happen for next season, only I'd argue that this time we need to abandon the experience policy and go for players at the younger end of the spectrum.

However, the team overall deserve credit for our best ever season and for finishing in the play-offs. Although todays whipping was disappointing and embarrassing, there are some good things to come out of it:
1. If we are serious about signing Barry Roche, I think fewer other teams will now be interested, so hopefully he will now sign for us.
2. If we did go into League One, todays kind of result would possibly have been more frequent.
3. This is just one bad result after a string of amazing wins, it may spell the end of our season, but not the end of the world, the team or the club. These things happen. We need to learn from it.
4. We seriously missed Stanners great form of late today, particularly in set pieces and his energy in midfield.
5. We have one extra last night match with a full house at our beloved Christie Park than we were really expecting, and we will be able to go on the pitch this time.
6. If, IF, we manage to get a couple of early goals on Thursday night, it could make an interesting game.
7. The performance and result today were terrible, but we do have a chance on Thursday to rectify that. In as much as it is unlikely we'll win by 6 goals, if we did IT WILL BE ONE HELL OF A MATCH NOT TO MISS!!!!
