Enjoyed that last night. As someone said earlier, reminiscent of McGee's last tenure with the trident counter-attack. Quite a few good performances. Johnson seems to be getting back to his best - Just needs to work on his finishing. Cadden again doing everything asked of him. Been critical of McDonald on the odd occassion, but linked and held the ball up well again. Thought Lasley was decent for the time he was on. United were a bit robust, but not going to criticise that - I'd expect us to be scrapping for our lives in their position as well. McGhee has us going in the right direction. Without being presumptuous, pretty excited to see if there's another gruelling pre-season and if we come out all guns blazing like his first season last time round.

This. Was close to not bothering today because of it. Dreadful.

If we time a purple patch right, we may be lucky and scrape top 6. Even 7th would mean teams below us cutting each others throats. Win our game in hand and we're 6 ahead of Killie with games running out. Very much up to us if we stay up or not.

Have criticised McDonald in past, but him or Cadden for me. Will go with McDonald.

Could get awkward if Partick have to fit in 5 games before split.

If he wasn't a 'fan', people wouldn't be questioning him. I don't see threads (directly) about Derek Weir etc. Everyone starts from somewhere. I've always thought he's conducted himself pretty well.

Tend to agree. Whilst it's not quite as easy as "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" due to oppisition tactics etc, there is some merir in it. If it means Hammell, Pearson etc on bench, so be it. I don't think there can be grounds for complaint. Priority is points. Re: Gomis - The bad bits of play I've seen him in have tended to result from (in part at least)team-mates giving him hospital passes etc. He definitely offers something. Hearts fans were screaming for him back on Tues.

Unbelievably, we are 4 points from 4th.

8th, although, Partick have 3 games in hand. Mind you, we are 3 pts away from the 2 teams above.

Yaaaasss Game over

Luckily, you can't be offside from a corner

Yaaaaasss Skippy

5-3-2 apparently

Yep, especially when changes are made and we almost concede immediately.

Scoring right on half time.

Its ridiculous how many times he's offside. He seems as oblivious to being offside as Ainsworth is to tracking runs.

I would like to think win bonuses come well down the motivional pecking-order, after professional pride, competitive nature/will to win etc etc.

Glad its not just me and someone else is seeing this.Persistently offside and running around with his hands in the air. Said on other thread, some good hold-up play, but then he'll hold onto the ball too long or give ball away.

The problem with Law is, he will play ok but then let a guy drift past him or not close down a cross, which will result in conceding a goal.

Very much this. Our inability to block, or tendency to back off crosses/shots etc is lamentable.

I think McDonald gets off a bit lightly His hold up play can be very good, but he is perpetually offside, picks the wrong option and/or gives away possession. Cadden played well enough.Outwith that I'm struggling though. Thomas did ok for the time he was on. Ripley did as well as could be expected.

I would go more .........Ripley Law McManus Kennedy Hammell ........... Gomis ..........Cadden Pearson...... Ainsworth................Johnson ............McDonald
