Ignoring the fact that two January signings started and two summer signings came off the bench? As others have stated five of the summer signings out injured. Also two of the signings were goalkeepers so only one of them can play. People seem obsessed at the moment with numbers, percentages and statistics and what they can show...

Think he might be talking about you and me, Fraz? Hendrie was poor tonight but he wasn't alone. Difference for most fans is that we've seen enough from the other players in other games to suggest that they can offer better. Haven't seen anything from Hendrie yet.. Tonight was dreadful to watch and we offered very little but other than December, that's been rare this season. If you're looking for a football team that isn't going to have the occasional game like that, Fir Park probably isn't for you..

So what you're saying is that in the 11 league games since the winter break, we have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 4? See you make statistics say anything you want...

Looks like a 442 to me. Can't see a way to make that a 352...

Or part of a back three with Hartley and Dunne next season...

Same team as last game. Hopefully same level of performance...

Ciftci seen training is something to worry about on recent form...

I don't know if this is true or not but I was told at work last night that the club are only selling the more expensive £30/15 tickets at the moment...

How much money are United throwing at this to try and get promoted..?

The Rangers chat is pointless because he moved down South for personal reasons as well as financial ones. If he wishes to move on from Preston then it will be to another English club as those personal reasons still exist...

I have thought since January that our back three next season will be Dunne, Hartley and Aldred. Which I could live with...

No real failures in our team overall. Surprised to see Tait feature so heavily in people's thoughts as during the game I felt he had given the ball away a lot by his standards but he probably deserves a mention for that late block alone. For me, it's between Main or Campbell. Going to go for Main given he had the most thankless task. At least Campbell had people alongside him helping him...

Were I a bookmaker, barring injury, I'd give you odds of about 1/7 that this will be our lineup. Stick on..

Regarding Tanner's injury, I'd love to think it would offer MacLean or Turnbull an opportunity between now and the end of the season. Realistically it probably means a midfield of Rose, Campbell and McHugh for the foreseeable future with Bigirimana and Grimshaw stepping in for the likes of the semi final...

I notice there's no Cadden in the Scotland U21 squad on the BBC website despite club Twitter saying he'd been selected...

The other unavoidable fact here is that for the past season and a half, for better or worse, our team was set up to benefit him. He was the focal point with a large part of our tactics involving 'Get the ball to Louis'. One of the reasons we struggled in December before we spent January looking for (and finding) an alternative plan...

If I told you we were going to face Accies and they'd have sold a midfielder to Rangers and that Imrie, Crawford and MacKinnon were going to be unavailable, I guarantee that you would also expect us to win. Bottom line is that we were poor in both boxes yesterday (we seemed to panic at every Accies set piece). Our attacking seemed 'tentative' for want of a better word. Haggis suggested that their pitch is in our heads. I was starting to think that at the game yesterday but I suspect that it may be that whenever we play poorly there, we as fans emphasise the importance of the pitch. And it is dreadful, make no mistake...

Quite. Partick are 10 points behind us in 11th. Goal difference is 16 worse than ours so call it 11 points. They would need to win 4 games out of 9 remaining. So far they've won 6 out of 29. And those four wins would only be enough if we fail to pick up more than a single point. We were poor today but we'll win at least one more league game this season. On another matter, Ciftci was poor again today. Still running like he's towing a caravan. Others were as poor but at least seemed to have the energy to get about. I agree Tanner up front didn't work, but I'd have dropped Ciftci anyway, for Bowman rather than Rose...

Tanner up front with Main. Rose in midfield with McHugh and Campbell. He doesn't get much wrong Robinson but not sure about that set up. Three strikers on the bench...

Except when it's Rangers and Celtic when they get the dressing room at their end...

Neither did I. But having done the Hampden tour recently, it apparently stems from way back when fans travelled from the East end or the South side of Glasgow on foot and the decision was made on the basis of the ease of getting them into the ground without too much difficulty. As I say, that's the reason the official SFA Hampden tour gives...

So tickets cheaper than Accies then?

Suspect it's no different to the prices there earlier in the season and it's maybe just been thrown into sharp focus given the prices for yesterday's game but £23 and £13 for a game at that dreadful stadium seems steep. As for the game, they'll be up for it. We'll need to make sure we are...

Went for Dunne. Our best defender for the last six or seven games, our best player on a few occasions. Passing is slowly improving (lovely ball to Frear today) and he won a couple of tackles he had no right to win. New contract, please...

Assumed their wee pal Neil was going to get the win so had us at 32? First time in years that we've had a team that can grind a result out while playing poorly. Should we just be grateful for it..?
