Who has been proven wrong and about what?, grow up man! if you think the standard of football in the Scottish championship is any higher than league one in England you’re a bigger numpty than I thought.

Did you think we wouldn’t, or shouldn’t, get beat in league One? This will be a hard league make no mistake, there will be no gimmies. I would have taken a point yesterday before KO.
Losing 2-0 to Gillingham is nothing to be shamed of, that’s unless your a JCL. There is also nothing to make me feel that having “Tavs and Waggs” in the team would have changed the result yesterday. Both those players flattered to deceive during their stay with us, not impressing the people who managed them day in day out enough for them to hold down a regular spot in a poor performing Championship team.

Just remember, Rangers where favs to go into the Scots Premiership last season and failed, does that sound familiar to you?[/quote]

To slate a game where someone like Kenny Miller played who’s scored more goals than our last dozen ‘strikers’ could dream of is a bit rich and not to mention dismissive just because Tav and Wags played in it and are doing well. It’s you who should grow up pal.

If your posts aren’t blue tinted they’re riddled with green eyed undertones.

To answer Bigroy, my thinking, call it logic if you like is that Tavernier was promoted the last 2 seasons from Division One, getting player of the year first time around with Rotherham and was given hardly any chance by our previous (sacked)
managers. Waghorn I always liked and he scored goals regularly, despite not getting a run in the team due to our previous (sacked) managers.
The fact that Mark Warburton, a manager admired by many (not to mention successful at Championship level) wanted them as some of his first signings for one of the biggest clubs in Europe no matter what division their in, seems to back up my view, that they’ll probably play a big part in next years Premier League in Scotland.
Hope that get’s my opinion across, backed up by some logic, rather than snide unneccasary comments and some references to crowds of 1200.

For the record I remember watching Fyvie play most of the previous seasons pre-season and looking improved, hungry and talented, only to be left out in the cold once the season started.[/quote]

Think I must watch a different game. Let’s start with Tavernier. After being loaned out to no less than 7 clubs in the last 4 years not one decided to sign him (no not Rotherham or Bristol city strangely) and he now finds himself playing at his worst standard yet against the part timers of Dumbarton and Raith. He was poor when he played for us and looked out of his depth at times. He may well do a job in that league but don’t give me this shite that it’s a step up!

Waghorn on the other hand was average at best. 7 goals in 29 appearances for us with the final straw being a senseless red which nailed our relegation at millwall last year. Hardly a world beater and certainly no better than what we have. In fact it’s easy to make a case for Griggs recent record being far more impressive so unsure what the problem is.

My reference to 1200 was logical as it was based on a fact of the numbers attending games in that division on Saturday. Major surprise is you haven’t mentioned Delort scoring again on Saturday. Now there’s a man who could score for fun!

Looking at the comments below doesn’t seem like he will be missed!

Would love to feel the same but to suggest that zero goals against teams that finished well in the bottom half last year is a good sign is surely deluded. It’s not simply kamikaze defending that worries me. It’s the fact in the last 3 games I’ve watched us we appear to have such a limited goal threat. The keeper is a worry to me and looks a poorer standard than what we have seen for years. He appears to have little presence in the area, stays on his line, punches rather than catches and looks uncomforatble with the ball at his feet. The saves mentioned were caused initially by him staying on his line too long and flapping at a high ball.

It’s amazing to see the sign of the quality to come? I think I must be watching a different team. Can only hope I feel the same soon!

Looks like a fuckin masterstroke this fella being put in charge! Absolute joke.

As thick as ever! He wasn’t there in the first place!

Not sure you’re understanding the post. This refers to the team that started the first League One game compared to the team that was relegated at Brighton. Didn’t include Dicko as at that point he wasn’t at Wolves. He signed for them almost 5 months later. Afraid Ya need to get out of bed earlier son!

If your confident I’ll wager 5k we aren’t playing in Leigh within 5 years.

So that’s 3 goals in his last 26 games.

I was at game and though football was good we lacked creativity, cutting edge and didn’t have a shot on target did we? Forwards on show looked poor. 3-0 was undoubtedly harsh but unfortunately you don’t win games on posession percentages!
