I think he will Goodwin seems the no nonsense kind not afraid to make tough decisions we saw that with Brown. Lewis cannot be first choice GK next season I'm pretty sure Goodwin realises that. 

Goodwin has to conduct a massive clearout. He has inherited two legacy teams, poor players acquired by both McInness and Glass. He has to avoid creating yet another bloated, unbalanced squad

Beaton is a fucking cunt 

Blame Beaton all you want but it's that spineless cunt in goals who's cost us throughout the season.

If we beat Ross county Hibs need to beat Hearts away to be above us due to our one goal better goal difference.  If Motherwell win or Livingston win we will be in the top 6 based on goal difference over Motherwell Meadow St Mirren irrelevant now due to superior goal difference should we win. 
If Livingston draw with Motherwell and Hibs don’t win we still sneak in should we beat Ross County. 

it’s not over yet and basically we need Hearts to beat Hibs
 

 

Lots of ifs buts and maybes. What if we have the same defence who can't defend setpieces and  an inadequate goalkeeper.

How did we not win that after scoring with 8 minutes to go?

Because we are a team of shitbags who have pretty much nothing about them. no fight whatsoever

We had some pretty shite goaklkeepers but for two seasons he's been about the worst.

Aye, the last 2 seasons of Lewis have been worse than any other first choice keeper I can remember for the last 30 odd years. Can't kick the ball, can't come out and take a cross, never seems to save anything, can't organise a defence, and has a losing mentality - also seems to run into the goalposts and go down greetin after conceding goals fairly frequently. It must affect the defenders in front of him having this total liability behind them. He's at the age where he's only going to get worse, and we are never going to improve while he is in the sticks. Made a hundreds times worse by the fact he's also the captain, the player who's meant to be inspiring us and leading by example. If Goodwin doesn't punt him it will be the mistake that will cost him his job next season at some point - we're not going to get any better with that clown in goals.

Because Dundee scored to equalise and make it 2-2.

Charlie Adam man of the match.

Beaton screwed us over again.

We made a big enough cunt of it ourselves without looking for others to blame.

Architects of our own downfall. Can’t even defend two simple balls in to the box properly. An amateur team would have dealt better with this deliveries. 

I'm sorry but Beaton allowed a man to stay on the park who smashed Ferguson in the face. He went on to tee up both Dundee goals. Yes our defending was piss poor but no getting away from the fact Beaton is a cheat.

[aberdeen1970]

If we still had Cerny at the club we could have dropped him but his current replacement is even worse than Lewis is. 

It's like watching that boy in Some Mothers Do 'Ave Them flapping about making a cunt of everything when I was a kid. 

 

[winchester83]

Better to play without a keeper next week than have that fuckin imposter Lewis playing. Stick in Tom Ritchie why not,

 

[YorkDon]

Won’t win games if you can’t defend balls into the box.

Adam came on and changed the game.Ref let him away with a few but we should’ve got a hold of the fat hun cunt when he first came on.

Blaming the refs is just denial though min. 

We should be putting shite like that to the sword making the ref completely inconsequential. 

Players need to take some responsibility. Folk making excuses for them will never help them learn. 

[Hoofball]

Players at the edge of the 18 yard box so any half competent keeper would be taking the ball and any player out that gets in his way. Lewis on the other hand just stands there and pishes himself

You can coach and teach players to learn from mistakes - you can't do anything about blatant cheats. He screwed us over - the elbow was right in front of him and he was looking straight at it. 

[BonnieDon]

Thought we played well overall. Undone by two criminal set piece errors. Both freekicks shouldn't have been awarded. Adam should have been off.

Don't like using the ref as an excuse but Beaton has become a thorn in our side. Moments before the game kicked off, the commentary team were clearly not pleased he was in charge.

Ramirez needs to go. He's not good enough. He has no presence and is riding on his purple patch from earlier this season. McLennan and McKenzie arent good enough either. Lewis is done with us. 

Incredibly frustrating game and sums up our season.

Win next week and Hibs don't win at Hearts, top 6 guaranteed.

Your Arithmetic is correct.

But, we won’t beat Ross County.

Not with a poppadom in goals & a weak as piss defence. 

[Torry Tosser]

The table doesn't lie...We've been shite all season,Goodwin will sort it oot in the Summer,I'm sure of it.

[elephantstone78]

Lewis was atrocious today. 
But, wtf was Ferguson doing for the set pieces? Second one he seemed to ignore the ball and man he was meant to be marking and just claim for a foul. Did he think he was fouled or handball or what?

[YorkDon]

Maybe I dreamt it, but didn’t Fergie say something about having to beat the ref ana?

Never make the ref an excuse, just beat the cunts

We've got to have more about us than that though. Can't play 90minutes against a shite team like Dundee then blame the ref for not winning even though Beaton is a complete cunt.  Small time stuff.

He’s injured but can’t be any worse than Lewis

[Harry's Double Shuffle]

I dont wanna see Lewis play for the club again he's an utter fanny

[scottymc]

Hibs are woeful so pretty confident hearts will at least draw with them. 
Big crowd at Todders and we can definitely beat County. 
Not all lost yet but not confident and it’s out our hands which is frustrating 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Good & accurate assessment post match from Goodwin. No flannel.

Slags off Beaton & our defence (5 clean sheets in 47 games) 

Both fucking inept 

 

[Stoneybloke]

One positive from today's result is that Goodwin can be in no doubt as to the scale of the task ahead of him.

Eddie Turnbull's rebuild of the club comes to mind back in the 60s.

Large clearout is urgently needed.

He will know that Lewis is not up to it.
Definite new No. 1 next season.
