Watching the two Falkirk goals there is no doubt Davidson is to blame for both of them. Assists also go to Toshney for their first goal and then Robertson and Cuthbert for the second. Both of them could've prevented the goal as well.

If people are starting to seriously compare yestrdat to Murrays regime in Ny way...

We had better chances, had more of the ball and weren't played off the park at all. We kept going to end and had some great chances.

Wasn't our day. We've lost a few games. Unfortunately the usual lot seem utterly delighted at this so they can trot out the same nonsense

This team deserve our support. It's still early doors. There are good signs at the club, that hasn't just been washed away after a few defeats.

We were good going forward but big toshney is never a right back so mckinnons selections has to be looked at.He is human though so hopefully when we play next we get the selections sorted out.Too lopsided as some players are playing out of position so it should have been....
cuthbert
ford
toshney
benedictus
mckeown
anderson
davo
robertson
petrie
craigen or stewart
megginson

JUST MY OPINION THOUGH

That team would win any game I reckon especially with it having 12 players. Laughing

I may be one of the few who actually believe we played okay.

I cant really remember Falkirk creating any clear cut chances (other than the two they scored, one of which was gift wrapped by Davo). They had a lot of possession but didn't really do anything. We had the better chances and on another day we could have hit them for 4 or 5.

What I will criticize is the lack of natural goalscorer at the club. Mark Stewart had one of his poorest games in a rovers shirt on Saturday, he needs to work on his positioning, so he can be in the right place to get these chances we seem to create and stop getting caught offside. The one good thing he brings is he does a lot of running and is always looking for the ball. Craig Wighton shows glimpses of being a really good player, but lacks confidence. We need him to start turning up more on a Saturday and being counted for, otherwise were basically playing with a man down. Jon Daly is obviously coming to the end of his career but he isn't as bad as everyone makes out. He gets a lot of stick, but when balls are lumped up to you all the time there isn't much you can do about it. Plus I feel the referees give him no support at all.
What worries me is out of all our strikers, I don't see a natural goal scorer. We are having to create about 5 or 6 chances just to maybe take one. I hope Ray will rectify this in January.

I do feel we deserved something out of the game, as we did against Hibs too. We were not played off the park, did not look out of the game at any time nor did we give up.

As for the whole "Ray Mckinnon out" rubbish, that needs to stop now. Its just silly. Ray has got a good bunch of players assembled, and hasn't really had any time in the job. Plus he is working with a fair amount of players who were here under Murray that were signed before he even took charge. I think Ray is doing a far better job than GM was. RM actually looks to try and make positive subs, change up the formation, change personnel if they aren't performing. Yes he may have gotten it wrong on Saturday, but were all allowed off days now and then. 3 losses in a row is hard to take, but its been from 2 of the top 3 teams in this league and an in form Livingston side.

The team needs us to support them rather than turn on them. We have a 2 week break, which has come at the best possible time for us. Gives Ray time to regroup, sort out any niggling injuries we have in the squad and focus on Dumbarton away. Realistically the target for this season was the playoffs, which we are in just now.

Obviously this is only my opinion, make of it what you will

Excellent post and no I do not think that you are one of the few you are in the majority from people that I speak to.

Even in the defeats against Hibs and Falkirk I actually enjoyed the games because we were always in the match right up to the final whistle and tried to take something from the games. I really don't want to drag up the previous regime but as others have suggested that we are currently no better or further forward I personally beg to differ.

The Livi match was a write off but other than that our games and results have pretty much gone as the League Table at present suggests.

Challenging for 4th in my opinion is what our League campaign as all about and thats what we are doing.

Has anyone actually said "Ray McKinnon out"?

It may just be that some fans find it difficult to distinguish between mild comments on the team/managers performance and really harsh criticism like demanding the managers head.

Are we not something like 6 points better off this season than we were at this point last season? Whilst I appreciate the main stat from the last 3 games is 0 points we've still had a few decent chances to take something from those games. Not the end of the world at the moment. Hopefully the players confidence doesn't take a dip so we need to get back to winning ways sharpish. QOS and Morton are catching up with us but there's a fairly sizeable gap between us and the rest of the teams below us. The main 'wtf' result was Livi. No shame in losing to Hibs and Falkirk both of which are doing well and yet we were still a wee bit unlucky not take something from those games. We've got a few winnable games (imo) coming up so lets see how we get on after that.
