Only player offering anything and he takes him off.

Nobody driving the team on.

Kaleta jogging back is getting on my wick. He either can't be bothered or does not know where he is ment to be playing.

Andrews of for Sparrow. Like for like. Odonnell for Casey. Nothing ever changes.

Injuries

Nope it's 11 players on the park not doing enough. At our level you need energy and desire. We have not got that. To many passengers. Wilson, Kaleta and Halliday are offering nothing today.

We've not been negative or hoofball. But it's all abit meh., ie not alot happening on or off the ball. Suppose given we have been in their half on more than one occasion is better than recent away games.

We are getting nothing from our wingbacks in defence or going forward. Change to a back four is needed.

Game of not alot, other than them taking a half chance at a corner. Midfield again is our downfall. Any joy we have had have come from long balls into the wing back area and winning second ball.

Slattery for halliday at half time. Not many other options.

Kaleta is awful at tracking back.

You've got to wonder why teams persist with this playing from the back. The amount of chances it gives the opposition is mental.

He is today.

Half chance there. Perhaps a more direct approach on this pitch might be more beneficial. There's a mistake in their defence if we press properly.

Halliday towing a caravan trying to get back into position.

Nothing changed. We were always going to need 2 goals.

State of their pitch.

Given how tight the league is, 3 points is more important. We could win in cup and then draw celtic at parkhead. Best just to take each game as it comes. Not as if us throwing the cup game guarantees a league win anyhow.

The definition of entertaining is providing amusement or enjoyment. You could argue that our attempts to defend are amusing. Granted that's a feeling felt by the opposition. The joy surely comes from whether we win or lose or a goal scored. So taking hibs game, in our own way we were very entertaining. Perhaps the question should be, do we try to achieve our targets by playing negatively? The answer is yes we do. We try to be competitive against teams with better resources taking into consideration our players form and fitness. Is it pretty to watch, no! but it's got us 31 points and a good chance of survival in a league where modern football is all about money and what a club can afford to spend on their team on the pitch. Just look at Aberdeen splashing the cash just now. Whether that's sensible who knows, but it's the modern way, where instant results matter more than long term player development. Society has changed for the worst. No hiding places, no patience and unrealistic expectations. After all that, was that not why we tried to get extra funding? Just so we can continue to compete against teams spending money, even if they run up huge debts. I would love us to play an attacking all out style. But it's never going to happen. We will never have 10 outfield players good enough. Bigger clubs with the odd exception have hoovered up all the promising youngsters. The injuries this season are mental. Although the system we play is broadly the same, players in the team are not. Perhaps if things settle and full fitness and confidence returns we might alter our approach to games. Scottish football at the level we are, does not allow any scope for teams to play anything other than survival tactics. To many jobs are at risk if a club fails.

If he is that bad, why is he on the bench? Someone must have the inside scoop.

Exactly. Another baffling signing.

They will have the ball. What they do with it will decide who wins.

Take it we don't rate Connelly? Third in line and then when an opportunity arises, we bring someone else straight into the team. Writing is surely on the wall for him. You wonder why we resigned him.

Hard to avoid red cards,when the officials are clueless. Vale did what every over player does and commits a professional foul, and is a yellow carded. He did well to get back and cover our missing defenders.
