Why are we so poor at the beginning of 2nd halfs?

What a soft goal to lose. Very lucky to get away with that. Longelo was sleeping and lost his man. He is a liability at the back.

Bench is not as strong today with Cook and TJ missing. Ross has pace. Could he replace Sparrow. Can he be trusted to do the defensive part of the game?

I would swap Said for Slattery and AP for Hendry. Tho we seldom make changes before 60 mins.

Think we have edged that half. Hendry works very hard but i dont think he will score a league goal for us. Given we are playing at Ibrox its been pretty comfortable all be it they had a 5 min spell.

Hand ball at ibrox ignored again.

Hendry has been very poor. Cant seem to hold the ball.

Said has been disappointing so far. Sparrow has energy but not the skills to keep the ball.

Slackness in the middle is making this more difficult than it should be.

Officials starting to even things up for the benefit of the rangers. Expected.

To get points from the bigger teams you need to take the half chances. Fadinger and Hendrys early efforts change games.

Pile on then. He is a haddie

Exactly. We need a striker.

Plus he is always injured.

Hearts should be at least 4 up.

Even the best strikers miss sitters. Oh dear shankland what a miss.

Without the officials they would be sitting bottom six. Set pieces and officials is all they seem to have. They certainly give up alot of space for teams to exploit.

Seems Rangers are a set piece team. Some big laddies in the team.

We need a very fast mobile striker with abit of presence. Problem with that is every team, apart from maybe Hearts, are looking for a striker. Would be good to get players in early in the window.

Theres the difference between the top teams this season. Hearts front two score goals. They have also had a fair bit of luck. The pressure will be really on Rangers next week if they do get beat today. They cant afford to lose against us.

Celtic already have 3 left footed center backs. Its in their interest he stays with us to try and get points off Hearts and Rangers.

Dundees current playing style probably does not suit him.

Dom Thompson having a disagreeement with a fan after his game apparently.

McGinn and Welsh strolled the game. Plenty of effort from Watt and Fadinger in the middle. Slattery and Just tried hard to create but alot of hit and miss. Said was what we needed at that time. Drive and energy. Slattery for the goal gets my vote.

Said and Sparrow with their energy and drive made a big difference. Slattery off it slightly but stuck at it and got his reward with his goal.
