I've been saying this for weeks we are a decent side when Naysmith is out the team specially when we were playing a form side like Annan Athletic we play alot better as a group and also we need a forward, who is alot better than Ross Campbell/Craig Sutherland can hold the ball, get into the game and score goals.

Which game(s) were we better without Gary playing? Even in his advancing years he is head and shoulders above every left sided defender playing at this level.

Agree that he is the best left sided defender in the league but still can`t understand why he played left midfield on Saturday?

If EF were top of the league after Saturdays performance would you be saying this. Gary took us to the play off's last year and I firmly believe he will take us up this year.

IMO if you have nothing positive to say then just shut up, nothing but shite being said by you

at the start of the season against bigger and better opposition ie falkirk, dumbarton, motherwell normal time than annan are and even against ayr in league one when we lost heavy at home we're still the better side if he sacked himself to being a manager instead. Gary may have experience from playing International and down south even if everyone saying he has head and shoulders above everyone in this league as the best left back i think Mercer is whole lot better at that position i see by a mile. though it's my view take on how we are set up tactically and as a club. It was even bizzare frightening to see him out of position and start left midfield than at his natrual position left back at the start of this game on saturday there, only thing would be that he was hoping to get a goal from his mistake last season by getting sent off and giving away a penalty against this mob in advance position where he could find himself in the box to score but we all drew blanks in finding the net as a team.

The reason I think Gary moved himself to left mid was he feels he is now struggling a little in pace and it showed in the last time against Annan down there, where the right winger took him to the cleaners a few times. It could also be that he is not 100% fit after recent injuries. Having said that, I would still rather see Gary play, as his on field presence and captaincy definitely helps the team.

Agree there mate

Bruce I don't agree with he's no good sorry but that's what I think
