Im expecting a pretty dull, industrial performance from us. With 20 mins left bring on Mika who adds the spark of quality we need. 1-0 or 2-1 will do nicely thank you chaps.

like that he doesn't shy away, takes full accountability when things go wrong and praises others when things go well. A manager with lots of common sense and honesty. Now go and get 3 points , calm us all down.

Miller was unfortunate , there was no intention to foul. it's likely that he made contact, albeit not obvious and given he was last min I can see why he was red carded. Versus their penalty (Jesus wept), Mugabi's timing of challenge was awful and took everything infront of him. I was stunned he wasn't booked . He's been solid this season but he has it in him for these moments. He must have conceded more pens than any player in recent history. The sooner Butcher is back the better for everyone. Agree with @Coatsy Wilkinson should never have been booked. Suspect his slow pace made it look a like he had taken a dive. Don't think it warranted a pen but equally never a yellow.

Big difference between quality of loanee vs perm players . id be happy enough with 3 -4 high quality loaners each year whilst focussing on bringing through our youngsters perm signings have been brutal

After a very positive start to the season , things are beginning to even out. Suspect at the end of 11 games games we'll be somewhere between 6-8th. Performances pre yesterday have been very decent so don't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater but it annoys me when we refer to losing to the top 3. Come on folks let's not include StMirren as a top 3 club. Assuming we get everyone fit I suspect we'll have a mix of 3-5-2 , 5-3-2 or 4-4-2. We need 2 up front and best guess is our 2 loanees will be our best 2 forwards. From new summer signings not seen anything from Soare, Wilkinson, Bair to make me think they're good enough. Jury out on Davor as he's not had any real game time. The opposite can be said for our loanees . All 3 look valuable and would crack on using them.

Kelly , McGinn and Casey all got pass marks

That’s the first time I’ve been with SK. A 5-4-1 formation against a team who hardly scored was odd . It was calling out for 2 up front . more maddening is it was clear we needed to change early on , energy was poor and livi were winning all the battles . should have changed shape long before the sending off . Generally the mgt have been excellent at intro game mgt but today he kept blind faith that the team would spark into action

We were rank rotten today and didn't deserve anything from the game. This is one of the few games I'd questions SK's set up ahead of the game. Playing a lone striker against the OF is understandable but not against Livi. It was also clear that our players had given all over last 2 games and some needed resting. After 20 mins it was obvious that the shape at best would earn a 0-0. Sending off could be questionable but he certainly gave the ref a decision. Midfield were all off their game and it took +75 mins before Paton (who has been decent but not today) got subbed. Add to that Mugabi's shockingly mis timed tack at the edge of the box. Having the type of moment we know he's likely to make. We need to see a reaction from the team and a plan B from SK when it's needed. Felt he was lazy today.

Far too many piss poor individual performances and SK has been piss poor in. Or making changes

What the actual … shocking individual performances today .

From 10 mins it was obvious we needed to change shape/ personnel if we were going to win this game Need to make significant changes if we want anything from this game

Absolute dross of a first half . appreciate the desire to keep continuity but we don’t need to set up the same way against livi as we do the old firm.

We certainly lack a cutting edge . Feels like we’ve also dropped a few gears from last 3 weeks . playing into livi’s hands too much for my liking

I’d like to see us with 2 out and out strikers to stretch livi Or we need to push the wingbacks further up

Would prefer a claret and amber warning and go ahead and thump them

I felt for him a bit in that respect. He must be keen to get away from Parched asap, if he was playing regularly he'd be in the Scotland first team. Be nice to see him move down South for a period and then comeback to us when he hits his early 30s.

I genuinely believe this is the best we've been for a few years. Takes me back to our purple patch under Robinson when players were working hard and playing good footy. The watch out for me is burnout, particularly in midfield. Davor is the only midfielder we have from the 1st team not playing. Longer term we'll need more depth, appreciate Butcher may return but not sure he'd cover the ground that our current midfield are. We'll need 1 -2 extras in Jan who can fit in nicely. Overall accept being gutted to lose with a team I'm proud to be associated with v's some of the dross of last couple of years. We're moving in the right direction.

Social media reports he's stable.

performed well as a team, every played added a level of value. Paton has proven to be a much better player than I first suspected and got my vote ahead of Spittal who I thought was very composed taking his goal

Like us all, gutted we didn't take something, particularly when we thought we'd rescued a point. As much as it hurts there's plenty to be proud of and all the team & management deserve credit for their efforts. These are games that we basically shipped +4 goals in the past. As hard as it is, we're at least competing. However that's 3 games in a row that we've played to our max and taken hee haw. It's key to grind out results and put some points back on the board . Don't want confidence to drop.

prob the right level. Well done to all. Club have been superb at moving out those who won't feature long term

To be fair the last 2 games have been far more competitive than I’ve seen for over a decade against the old firm won’t be overly critical , we’re working well as a team

We could and should have replaced midfield 15 mins ago

He reminds me of lasley . Works hard , does the simple things well . Not a world beater but much better than I first thought

Once Soare is fit I suspect we’ll play spencer on the right and drop SOD
