We need to come out and go for it in the second half,we cant miss out on taking something from this game because of that total fuck up for there goal.were still in this but need to be taking the chances that are coming our way.

Shot ourselves in the foot yet again,shocking goal to concede when we have been comfortable.

Lamie won me over after thinking he was a bombscare for a while,I was hoping he would have signed on again but it's no real surprise he's moving on,I dont think he would ever be more than third or fourth choice pick.ideally he would move on before the end of the month.

That's exactly the changes I would like to see,we've looked completely flat since coming back from the break.we need to make some changes for this,play like we have been and this will be a certain defeat.

Agreed,I was hoping we would have went with goss,slattery and cornelius against morton.the midfield we went with last night just doesn't have enough legs about it,cornelius would bring a bit more energy in there.itll be interesting to see who alexander goes with now that donnelly is suspended.

After the sending off,I was happy enough with a point but for me it still feels like another opportunity missed,we were poor but hibs were even worse than us.weve passed up two real opportunities between last night and the ross county game.defensively last night we were fine,mcginley was solid enough,his distribution in the second half at times was woeful but that was his best game for a while,carroll wasn't put under much pressure but I really don't fancy him in there for games when we're going to be defending more than we did last night,sondre was class and like mcginley, odonnell had a fairly solid game. The midfield is a real issue,the three that started last night just can't play together,goss has been good of late but we can't have maguire and donnelly in the team at the same time,there far to slow in possession which just stifles any momentum.we could get away with one of them playing it simple and moving the ball onto other players but we can't have one slow player passing it to another.im guessing it's the managers instruction but atleast one of the midfield three needs to start getting forward and supporting van veen and getting beyond,we need the midfield to keep the opposition guessing by making forward runs,having three defensive side of the ball just isn't working. My last point about our midfield leads me onto our forwards,roberts is dropping to far back to try and pick the ball up,there was so many times last night, especially in the first half he was picking the ball up about the half way line and having to much do then after,we need him on the ball in more threatening areas.van veen and shields were quiet last night and just highlights how we need another option up front,hopefully we get someone in. None of the other teams have seen to come back from the break on fire,so theres definitely no need for us to panic,I think if we can get another striker in and a wee tweak in midfield,we will be just fine.

That was dire stuff from both sides,we have came back from the break looking really flat,we need to find a spark from somewhere.that was as poor a hibs side as I've seen for a while,there was no urgency even when we went a man down.

Exactly

Stupidity from donnelly,he was never winning the ball coming in at that angle.

Strange line up yet again,hopefully we manage to get the job done though.

To play a left back at centre half when you have two centre backs on the bench is slightly baffling,I get not starting ojala as the last thing we want is him getting injured again in a game like that but there wasn't a better time to play oconnor.

The team selection on saturday was baffling,carroll can't get a game in his natural position but he gets brought in at centre half when we have two defenders on the bench,I think this would have been an ideal game to give o'connor some minutes.saturday showed yet again that maguire and donnelly shouldn't be in the team at the same time,there both far to slow in possession,which would be fine if we had just the one in the team and there role was to keep it simple and move the ball onto others but both in a three man midfield just doesn't work,we have some decent options to pick from in midfield,hopefully we see atleast one change for the hibs game.like maz in the post above I think we would have been a couple up had van veen started,there was 3 or 4 times in the first half where there was a decent ball in from out wide and none of our forwards were in a position to do anything about it,if we had a natural centre forward on the park,I think we would have been up by half time.i think we need another striker to compete with van veen through the middle,it would be madness to rely on just him as our main source of goals for the rest of the season.

He does look a good prospect,he looks the type that wants to get on the ball and doesn't lack confidence.

Don't get me wrong,play like we did today against aberdeen and we will get put out.as much as it's a boring draw,it's actually a decent chance of progressing into the next round.our cup performances so far this season have been terrible and there will need to be much improvement to go any further in this cup.

There is nothing to fear from playing aberdeen,that's just a fact.

Boring draw,for as shit as we were today,there's nothing to fear playing aberdeen at home.

We got out of jail big time.the positives are far and few between,tierney looks like he will be a good addition playing in the number 10 position,he's good decent vision and he actually moves when he's passed the ball unlike some of our other midfielders,today should be the end of playing 3 that are there to play goal side of the ball.we need another striker,the options we have there right now won't do for the rest of the season.were through that's the main thing but there's definitely some alarm bells ringing after the last two performances.

The players on the park during the week were shocking,they should have had enough about them not to lose to a 10 man ross county team,alexander was right to be raging but today it's on him,wrong team selection from the start.we never took the league cup seriously so it's no surprise we have chucked a performance like this in today.

Maguire has been decent enough but the other two have been awful,how they have lasted to this point is beyond me.

We're getting what we deserve,we've been shocking from the first minute.

His decision making in this game has been shocking.

We've had a couple of decent chances other than that we have huffed and puffed,were playing into there hands with the slow tempo and constant fouls from either side.donnolly has been anonymous,there's options on the bench get him off at the break.

Agreed,strange to either bring carroll in at centre back or shift mcginley in there when ojala is sitting on the bench,I would have rather oconnor came in and played beside sondre than either of the first two.

I'm not overly convinced by that team selection,I was hoping slattery and cornelius were going to come in.if morton's defence is slow they could be in trouble as we have gone with pure pace up front today.
