Dire again. We need to get shot of a few and bring a few in namely a striker, cm and cdf
-
There was no pace tonight. Lamie looked very slow to react, slattery couldn't pick a pass and I don't get the McKinstry love he is slow and alway seems to throw his hands up instead of chasing the ball/player down. No pass marks from the team as I feel we have and are capable of better performances than that regardless of the opponents. And van veen is not the answer against teams at our level or higher, he gives up to easy I would rather we had a young and hungry guy up there to at least put pressure on the opposition defence/goalkeeper

Hammell it is then
-
I reckon we will either get pumped 3-0 or pinch a 1-0 win in an abysmal game with or without GA at the helm.

Time to go

This is maybe more hope than a prediction

There both mince
They are mince or dug meat. We need a LB that is capable of defending and none of this modern LB pish. Our midfield and attackers should be the threat. Defenders are there to defend let's keep to basics before we turn OD into cafu, cause he clearly isn't
-
Or any of these
-
I wouldn't mind an away kit like this
-
Ojala doesn't seem good enough and looked very unfit. Big Nathan is too weak defensively and I'm not a Roberts fan I think he was on the pitch too long for me.
We showed great spirit but the ref kills the game from the off, I felt Roberts was more of a red than the Ugandan Prince.

We need to play 442 to stop the rot with donnelly nowhere near the starting line up

Loose and Saturday and it’s time to go Alexander. This is fucking shite. Zero heart, zero entertainment and zero quality.
Unfit and disinterested.
Exactly this

Can't score, Can't tackle and Can't pass this is awful. Kiss top six and any little cup run goodbye

I don't think it was as bad as many are making out here, we pressed well created changes on another day we take a chance and its a different game Hearts hit us with the quick break which with a high press is always a possibility. IMO we are missing Bevis. Thought Sol was looking a bit leggy today but were at the bare bones at CB.
Need to give Tierney some time started brightly but fell out the match.
Also they scored after Mcguire has to go off, Perhaps some will get off his back now
I agree with your Tierney point and I reckon he will continue to get better. With regards to pressing well I don't, we pressed the ball with sometimes 2-3 players and not one broke the play up and on rare occasions that we did we lost it immediately. So yes we pressed but not well and more often than not the hearts player skipped away with relative ease.
Sol has the attributes to be decent but often makes poor decisions maybe the manager being a former defender should have a word with him

I thought we played better than any of the previous 3 games but not making enough chances and so we need to take the ones we do make and somehow up our attacking threat. Still in 4th but obviously need to start picking up points to stay there
That my well be true in terms of performance but still not good enough to maintain a top six finish or even a top eight finish
-
Waiting on the excuses from GA after this one and the we weren't good enough chat should be shelved with him holding his hands up to say his tactics and personnel choices were wrong. I like GA but he needs to offer something more that "we are building" nonsense. Long term plans are great but so are short term plans/results
-
Really poor second half the midfield disappeared went back to punts(hopeful) up the park with nothing to show for it again. We became even more spineless when going for the ball. KVV and Roberts need to be benched for a bit. A formation change is also needed with a diamond in midfield to allow for greater support in attack as well as defending. GA needs to have a long hard look at his tactics as well as install belief in trying to fight and win football games. Previous stats/results count for nothing. This shower were not good enough again
-
We need to run at them in and around their 18 yard box get woolery on (I'm not his biggest fan but he may draw a few fouls)
-
I'd swap Roberts for woolery. Roberts hasn't done much much like KVV but at least KVV is more of a goal threat. Maybe get the new defender/striker up there he couldn't do any worse. At least the midfield looks a bit better. Defensively we still look a little fragile under pressure
-
So.........what about this Ross County game.

OD wasn't the problem it was down to the fact that there was no central midfield dictating any play or at least willing to grab the game by the scruff of the neck

I would take the boy Armstrong from raith, he would bring a bit of pace and desire.
-
Pure pish. No midfield and no heart. Second to every ball. Long gets his ambition mixed up with his capability. No pass marks for any of our players. The ref was pish too
-
I would play 4 in midfield with OD in there on the right with the hope of increasing the supply to the front men

This is what a cheap managerial option looks like, coupled with an absolute dross squad of players
