Can’t believe what I’m watching...

Thats one of the worst first 20 mins I’ve seen from us in years. Disgraceful attitude. Can nearly not watch it I’m that mad.

Thought Mugabi was immense tonight, along with Lamie. Mentions also for Kelly and Watt. Midfield is a concern.......

What a win that was! To play so poorly and win is remarkable. Beat Accies on Saturday and I think we can start looking up! Alexander is either really good or really lucky! Hope it’s both, but time will tell! Can’t say I’m loving the tactic of standing off wide players and letting them sling it in our box and back us to win the header every time, but it’s worked in a few games so far to be fair.

Get it changed now. Before it’s 1-0. Ohara on, Crawford off

Expressing concerns about a players record (or lack of) is not to say he won’t be given a chance. Two different things.

The “and” is that the strong likelihood is that if they’re not good enough for these clubs they’re highly unlikely to help us start climbing the table. But time will tell.... Desperately hoping Gallagher is still a Well player by midnight otherwise I fear we’re in deep deep trouble.

Hope I’m wrong but very much looks like we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel. We’ve now signed guys that are surplus to requirements at Livi, St Mirren and championship Hearts.....

I’d take a point now. Ohara, McGuire and Lawless (if fit) in for Polworth, Crawford and Seedorf. My god we quickly need to find a creative midfielder from somewhere!

Right wing is the least of our worries. Our midfield is horrific.

Take Gallagher off now.

We’ve been poor and could easily have been 2 or 3 down before we eventually came into it. But the handballs a stone waller, how the 2 on commentary missed it completely I’ll never know. Then as some have said the ball doesn’t go anywhere near out from the pictures I’ve seen for the one Cole rolls in. Conspiracy theories will be rife if Gallagher gets sent off 1 game away from triggering a contract extension! Seedorf is a man down most of the time I’m afraid. Let’s hope he’s replaced before it’s 2-0.

Well pleased with that today, as I really did fear the worst! Not just the point but the heart and desire to keep Rangers out after the equaliser. We've all seen us repeatedly fold after losing an equalising goal to one of the old firm. 2 or 3 point from the next 2 games and a couple of new faces in and I think we'll be ok.

Can’t remember being quite this pessimistic heading into a game. Hope I’m wrong but 3 forwards (including Seedorf) against Rangers is madness and really asking for a skelping. With Crawford & Polworth in midfield, we better hope wee Alan plays out his skin.

Not disagreeing, as he’s not had a good season, but the alternatives are undoubtedly worse! McGuire, Crawford, Grimshaw.....

Totally agree but the only other viable option is Ohara alongside Gallagher and I think we need him in the middle of the park to complete.

Might be pessimistic but I think it’s damage limitation tomorrow I’m afraid. Both County and Accies have far worse goal difference than us, let’s hope we keep it that way. I’d go with a 4-4-1-1 Kelly, O’Donnell, Gallagher, Mugabi, Carroll, Lawless, Ohara, Campbell, Polworth, Watt, Cole

Also, we should deffo be noisily demanding one of these games (Killie or Saints) is played at the end of the month in the free Scottish Cup slot. Not a chance we should have a free weekend whilst Killie and Saints are allowed to pull games forward before these outstanding games are played.

Spot on re Celtic. Bizarre situation when it would have been better for Celtic if Jullien had been a close contact of MORE players! That way they could have said they can’t fulfil the fixtures (both of which they have failed to win), take the 10k fine and play the games later in the season with a full team.

I’d love to say it’s an unbelievable verdict but nothing should surprise us in Scottish football. Admit to COVID breaches and get a 10k fine rather than play a reserve team and almost certainly give up 3 points, I know which I’d choose! Bet Celtic are raging they bothered to play a weakened team earlier this week, the 10k fine would be far preferable, especially for a club with their finances. As some have said we need to try and use this to our advantage, to motivate the team into getting themselves out of the shit that we are most definitely in!

No strong opinion either way but pretty uninspiring whatever way you look at it.....

100%. Don’t think they can have Celtic breaking protocols and playing a reserve team whilst St Mirren & Killie break protocols, get the games called off and then play them with a full team...

I thought he was our man of the match to be honest! And I wanted him dropped...

It’s a shocker of a decision. If it’s given against Gallagher for pulling then we should be seeing a penalty at every corner in every game.

I know what your saying, however dont you think he’ll have watched recordings of our last half a dozen games over the last 24/36 hrs ? Not to mention any prep he did for the interview process. I think he’ll have a fair idea with the exception of maybe some of the fringe player who haven’t played much recently. You’ve also got to imagine Las will have a bigger input today than maybe in the weeks going forward. Suspect Ohara will come back in and Kelly will make his debut, don’t expect many other changes to be honest, although i hope he brings McGuire into the middle of the park, think he gives us a bit more strength in there which is lacking without Donnelly.
