I don’t think we were knackered physically.

Exactly! We are coasting and easily running the game…. Because players are focused and doing the right things. Guess what! Once you stop doing those things your’e not going to be coasting or running the game. So definitely a mental lapse (fatigue) more than physical. I think AJ has mentioned this previously about our attitude after scoring goals.

Seems like there were plenty people saying the player who encroached interfered with JT getting the rebound. I haven’t looked close enough to comment on that.

Another goal filled game? Hopefully with us scoring them all against Utd.

I think items 2 and 3 in your negatives list will Improve drastically once AJ has more practice time on the field with the players

Probably, equally going against us, is the lack of practise time for AJ with the players

Always looks like he’s ready to burst into tears.

We have Preistman and Johnny K to come back so I think we are good.

Good mention for Thor, he won numerous balls in the air. That will give us another option to play a different attacking style. hope we can keep JT in right frame of mind. I’m sure he’s a bit down after that PK. He was totally none existent for his time in the secomd half. Had he scored the PK that might have been him off on a good run but now we have to wait and see how he handles it.

Lowery for me. Put in a hard working shift off the ball and a lot of good stuff with the ball. Coukd be a key player for us

At least next string of games has every team playing midweek.

We saw a few of those players coming back today. So lots to look forward to. Feel sorry for SOD. That was a total mismatch today but he hung in there and done well after getting booked pretty quickly. Towards the end I’m not sure if our defenders learned from Freiburg or just couldn’t catch the St Mirren guy but well done om not pulling him down when he was thru and Paulsen saves it.

I wouldn’t describe it as a worrying performance. Things we need to work on for sure though.

I know they have the new rule about player goes off for a minute if they have treatment but I thought they still stayed on if yellow card was given to opponent who injured the player?? they got a yellow amd we had to play a man down for at least a minute. That makes no sense!!

Let’s see what AJ and the team are made if. We were coasting and now we need to score another two with no reply.
