Not the result I hoped for but that was a very entertaining match and a great advert for Scottish football in general. Good football, thrills and spills and some great goals. Reminds me of the 6-5 game between the sides back in the day. Bring on the Jambos. COYW

3-0 up and not winning is unacceptable.

Getting pegged back as early and with all the momentum with the opposition and getting a point is a bonus.

VAR is an absolute scourge on the game. 
 

That’s my summary of tonight.

It just tells us what we all know, our defence is shite and the fact Kelly has nil confidence doesn't;t help the guys in front of him. Every time the sheep got a corner your thinking goal. We really need to do something with that defence.

Don't really know what to make of that,to be 3-0 up then happy enough with a point is pretty grim.the big concern throughout the whole of january was our forward options but there doing there bit and its our backline thats let us down again,the sooner we see the back of the majority of them the better.

I’d have taken a point a kick off so not completely gutted. Three up after half an hour though, so it is a bit of a sore one.

Aberdeen used to be a tough place to visit, so a point is something, but not sure if our rivals will find it as difficult. We obviously lost our way after the two quick goals to bring them back into the game, but some credit has to go to the side for staying in the contest in the second half and almost snatching all three points. Still seems like a bit of a missed opportunity though.

Yes forward players doing there job. Devine good but defending poor from central defence. Keeper Kelly poor too. Needs replaced.

Most of us were calling out for a commanding centre-half to be signed during the transfer window, but, instead, we signed umpteen full-backs and Shaw, with some of them barely featuring or not at all yet.

SK’s loyalty to Liam Kelly is killing us. There was imo a lot of positives in some of our play tonight, some decent performances but defensively we are nervous wrecks and unfortunately it stems from the defenders lack of confidence in our keeper. 
I’ve never called for him to be dropped as I’d hope he’d turn the corner but it’s not happening and it’s time to get someone in there who has a bit of presence about him.

We still have the same central three that did so well at the end of last season, we just haven't been able to play them cause of injuries.

Brilliant to go 3 up but FFS we can’t defend or control a game .

2 big issues

 

1)the midfield can’t hold the ball. We missed Halliday. 


2) worst defence I’ve seen for quite a while . Every cross , every set play we look like we’ll concede .

 

we need to change the defence now . Whether it’s formation , players or both it needs to happen

Aye Kelly is over the place at the minute and we umpteen defenders to pick from but it's the same outcome no matter who plays,defensively were a shambles.

When they made the double substitution at 3-0 it was our throw-in. We really have to do better than just handing the ball back to them. Who was marking Gartenmann for the second? Devine was at fault for the third and hopefully he'll learn from that.
