Paulsen has been excellent this year but simply made a misjudgement today. Donnarumma of Man City committed a howler that escaped a goal by about three cms today so it can happen to the best of GKs. Even then I thought we could have scored but three reasonable chances went a-begging in the first half and we looked out of it in the second: knackered. The international break for once has come at the right time for us. I'm pretty sure we'll come back strongly against The Mutton Molesters. Alfred was honest in his post-match comments and I'm sure we'll make amends. Aberdeen hopefully get a bruising tiring 120 mins game at Rugby park next Saturday before they play us on the Tuesday. Be nice for us to be the team that has rested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get folk being disappointed with the result, and everyone is entitled to give their opinion on the performance, particularly second half. But cheesy peeps, some of these takes are wild! Its always the same when we lose a game, suddenly half the team are rotten and questions to be asked. We lost a game, its our first defeat of season, it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost a game, its our first defeat of season, it happens The problem is some of our fans are believing the hype. Against Dundee United we played well but we were against 10 men for 75 minutes. To listen to the media and some of our fans you'd think we were world beaters and we weren't, just as today we were poor but we weren't as bad as some are making out. We are 3 points better off after same games as last year. . It also took us until 25/10/2025 to win two league games. We also lost to Falkirk at home in round 8 and the second half performance in that game was worse than today. So lets take a deep breath of reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Always disappointing to lose a game, but we need to be realistic here. It was always going to be a huge ask to take anything from a team who will finish second in the league, in their own back yard. We've had a hectic and punishing early season schedule and that clearly took its toll today. Now the players can look forward to a 10 day rest and AJ will have some time on the training ground to get across more of his ideas. If you'd said to me a few weeks ago that we'd draw with Falkirk, beat Dundee United and lose narrowly to Sevco I'd have bitten your hand off for it. As for the minutae of the game, hopefully AJ has learnt some valuable lessons too. I would hope that he now realises that TJ is no main striker for example. No one individual to blame today, but I agree with Grizzly over Cookie and I half expected him to go out on loan to a Championship club. That may still happen. I'm not convinced that RB is a settled position. Right now, I'd say that Johnny Koutroumbis, although injury prone, is clearly No 1. SOD's days there may well be numbered, if not over, and Tom Sparrow has done a passable job as an emergency stand in, but thats all he is. A wee bit concerned to hear that some players were a little awe struck at Ibrox. Manny Longelo again appeared to be left isolated on the left as we concentrated our efforts on the right. These are all detailed issues, hopefully, that AJ can sort out in the coming days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I been waiting all day to see what folk have been saying and its embarssing to say the least.The toxic levels on social media some of things being said today these people are beyond having a word with themselves. We have lost one game of league football i repeat one game of league football,got put out of Europe by the joint leaders of the Bundesliga and got put out of the cup by top club in the Championship unbeaten so far this season!(not that i think thats a good thing btw but it is what it is). We are not the same as last season people need to let it the fek go its progress we are still progressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finish 4th last season and they expect that all the time. Losing 1-0 at ibrox is hardly a crisis but some of the reaction is bonkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago It's unbelievable the hype people are believing. We have done nothing yet. There should be no expectation of beating a team with vastly superior budget away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
