Just watched the highlights. The cross from Gent and the movement of Mika to get in front of the defender for the equaliser was top class. The former has to be nailed on to start at the weekend surely.

Gent gave us the width we lacked all game and has a good delivery in him. Thought Bair improved us also but it looked like he missed a two yard sitter.

Kelly's been under scrutiny for months. Both Slattery and Spittal started the season well but their form has gone off a cliff in the last 2 months. When that happens there should be replacements waiting to take their chance.

Out of jail. Point gained.

Pish. Slot that across to Bair and he's got tap in (hopefully)

Half hearted from Spittal again. We clearly haven't anyone to replace him

Kettles boiling 😁🥴

Got to get a touch somehow

That may be true but he offers very little, especially going forward. We have the pace and dynamism of Spencer on one side and O'Donnell running through quicksand on the other coupled with the fact his passing is woeful.

We've turned into a hoofball team again. Devoid of ideas and confidence. Blaney, Casey, Spittal, Slattery and Kelly to a degree awful for weeks. Don't start me on O'Donnell, Gent must be wondering what he's done to Kettlewell to not get in this team.

The only success thus far 😁

Aimless lumps up the park, a midfield short of confidence and numbers and a goalkeeper going though a mini crisis. We're in deep shtook I'm afraid.

Butcher

Any result will do. Preferably with a clean sheet.

Painful viewing tonight. Our midfield was overrun from the first minute. Slattery was atrocious and could have been hooked anytime in the first half. Spittal is one of our best players but he's been off the boil for weeks now. Our midfield that served us well has now been well and truly found out. The fact that Kettlewell can't pick a settled forward line tells it's own story, it's like striker roulette every week. We desperately need to get Mika fit to start and quick.

Casey for coming closest to scoring all day. Kelly should have done better at their first imo. Should be dominating his 6 yard box better.

Said I'd take a point today at a tough venue but the sending off coupled with us being generally poor in all areas saw us lose the game. A bit of perspective required in that yes we've lost 4 but 2 against the OF and 1 against a St Mirren side who are having the season of their lives. Today was the only game where I've been genuinely disappointed by our performance. The break will do us good, we've had a tough few weeks and could really do with some bodies back to give us a fresh impetus. Miller will be a huge miss in 2 weeks time but it will hopefully give Kettlewell the opportunity to go with 2 up front for a change.

The irony 😆

His job is to provide knock-downs for Spittal and Slattery. That much is obvious at this stage. The issue with playing with an out and out striker is that he will probably need the support that Bair supplies thus sacrificing a midfielder.

We've looked instantly better in the last 15 minutes with this forward pairing. Slattery and Paton have been good as has Mugabi again. The changes have just come too late or there I say the wrong lineup to begin with?

Agreed. Spittal has been awful and Bair anonymous.

Our passing in the final third is abysmal. Just when it looks like we could create something we give it away cheaply.

We need more mobility in the final third. Their defenders haven't had to work nearly as hard as they should simply because Bair doesn't make runs. Can't help but feel that Biereth would have run riot in that first half. Still well in the game at 1-0 though. COYW

They look ordinary and we're well in the game but we cannot give them that room to shoot around our box. Frustrating.

His knock downs, lay offs and general hold up play was excellent today. We played some tidy stuff but sadly we lacked the cutting edge required. Said before the game that the first goal would be critical. Robinson's teams are great at getting their noses in front then shutting up shop and defending for their lives. That said, the fact they've beaten us twice now this season without conceding is though to take.
