Safe but Christ the 50 odd minutes I caught was utterly grim. 

Get this football and shape to ****, theres more chance of us losing than winning playing that way. Would like MFW and Kane to stay. The rest can go, Miles I would take if he were to be released.

Thank god we are safe now, get some of the young ones in for next week. 

FFS 1-1 Queen 5 up just put the ****ters up us.

Sounding like another game Memhets keeping us in. Credit where its due.

Queens 4 up. 

First 20 minutes was absolutely grim. Haven't saw anymore but guessing we've been a bit better?

Confirmed on twitter now.

Done

Just watched the highlights there & seeing the boys lift that trophy fair brings a smile to my perma-crabbit pus. They did the club proud, hopefully not for the last time!

As for McCann I desperately want him to be a success at the Pars. He's still relatively early in his career although it seems like an age since he broke into the first team (2018?)

I hope we don't give up on him just yet. Wish we had the means to afford a strikers' coach like the Craw, I feel like he improved Nisbet as a player during his brief spell at the Pars & might do the same with Lewis.

Exactly that, he needs coaching. I've always said theres a player there. You just feel like he always chooses the wrong option. One of those chances on Sat should have been buried, his heading should be something he looking at from his own point of view. I don't know if he closing his eyes but its terrible. 

Since the missed penalty against rovers hes been completely missing. Like a few at the moment just needs the season to finish and start again in the summer. 

Some turn that by Tod for the first. Poor defenders still looking for him. 

Well done the young team.

To be fair, a couple of years ago Arbroath were title contenders. There's no guarantee Rovers will have another season like this one.

Also us year before and last year Queens. Quite dramatic when it goes wrong.

Just watched the highlights, some of the chances missed jeez min. How did we not get a penalty for the challenge on MFW?

Seems a few weeks since we last put in a performance, my confidence in McPake ebbs with performances like this.

I stopped short of calling for him to go in that horrible run.

Didn't expect any better than 8th, some of the performance this season have been abysmal. We don't have the players for the formation and style of play, told KRH was in the middle today? Mccann starting instead of Jak, the addition of O' Halleron to then never play him in position and with the exception of MFW and Kane some terrible additions to the squad. 

Should have been a great achievement midtable its all a bit meh and head scratching.

Partick 3 up and doing the goal difference a favour. 

Our game sounds terrible from the updates I'm getting. 

Ayr down to 10 men against united.

Partick 2 up, Morton also go 2 up.

First goal of the championship to Partick Thistle. Now if we can do the business.

Sad news, watched his interview on DAHT YouTube page. Seemed a character thoughts with the family.

I'm thinking when Hamilton is not in the midfield we tend to be run over and we don't quite have the combative players to challenge it. Otto is good but when Hamilton and Otto were playing a defensive roll it was clearly evident that we struggle in the middle of the park. Probably why our striker(s) are so isolated 

Teams got plenty of shots against us in league one, they just weren't good enough to take advantage. 

Its a massive jump in quality in the championship and more often or not theres been at least one goal lost. Then we are too slow or not creative enough up the other end with the set-up.

Was it the back three with KRH playing as a wing back?

I'm no master tactician but as a general observation we are always much better playing 4-2-3-1 and having guys like KRH playing further up the pitch. I'm sure our results since the Partick away game would prove that the four at the back has been much more effective.

Not sure why McPake keeps trying to go back to a formation that we've not done well with in this league. The wide players are too deep and we are very slow getting forward when we play the back 3 with wing backs.

Yeah thats how it looked, its worrying why it keeps returning. Its been shown on many occasion we don't have the players for it at this level.

Back on topic, there has to be a massive improvement. We offered Kane absolutely nothing and from what I made out we went back to our awful set-up and slow play. 

Hopefully a better showing and a win to put any fears some fans might have about relegation play offs to bed. 

Rhodes moved before we were relegated, O' Boyle was a season or two later. 

The problem with Thomas was his performances at the start of that season were absolutely shocking. Bad manager or not the tools were downed.

He spent quite a bit time injured and club footed the bill, a couple of decent games before he then sat on the bench paid up because we couldn't play him in a relegation play off against a team he'd signed a pre-contract with. 

Not grudging anyone a move or bettering their wage, he could have easily moved or signed a PCA after the event. You don't have to be a genius to figure out one teams going for promotion but more likely play-offs and the others potentially in the same play-offs.

Can't remember the situation with Rhodes but O'Boyle wanted to stay and we wouldn't offer a decent wage and St Johnstone did.  

Fri 19^th April

Inverness CT 1 v 1 Raith Rovers

Sat 20^th April

Arbroath 0 v 2 Morton (j)

Dundee Utd 3 v 1 Ayr Utd

Dunfermline Ath 2 v 1 Queens Park (26/4942)

Partick Th 1 v 1 Airdrie

Poor result for me, doesn't sound like we had much fight. 

Need to see the highlights but from what iv heard a few players have again confirmed they aren't good enough and the squads lacking.
