Lots of hard talking required between now and Saturday.

We need to be much more structured and disciplined to allow us to play our football from a solid base.

We also need to be running harder than the opposition, particularly when we lose the ball, to win it back.

Do these things and we can win on Saturday. Dont do them, and we could be on the end of another loss.

Unless the manager sorts out the XI and gets this team playing with some sort of coherent tactical plan, I expect more of what we saw against Rangers and Aberdeen.

The plan seems to be to retain possession, which is fine and what we want, but beyond that I can see zero effective attacking plan, loads of possession with no end product, weakness in the turnovers, a pathetic press, and a complete lack of ability as a team to win and compete for second balls. The complete opposite of last season.

It does make me wonder what he spent the 10 days between those two games drilling into them.

3-0 home win.

We are ineffective and the ball is burst. Last night was not a blip it was a sign of things to come.

We've won 5, drawn 4, lost 4 this season.

Which of those games are blips?

We did well enough in the European games, the HJK home game was a highlight.

Hibs away wasn’t great but a massive win and a brilliant move to clinch it.

Dundee Utd at home was a very good performance, our best of the season albeit we were playing against ten men from an early stage.

Falkirk 0-0 was insipid and dismal, St.Mirren away was a capitulation after a good start and only a great goal at the death saved our blushes.

Rangers at Ibrox was a pumping in everything but name.

And last night v Aberdeen was a pumping, in both name and in the way we performed. I know people will point to them only having x amount of efforts on goal but I saw nothing from us that was in any way effective whereas Aberdeen were.

It’s the most important game we’ve had in a while, we really need a reaction after that horror last night.

last season after the St Mirren game we were pretty shell shocked and scrambled a 1-1 at Aberdeen the week after before we found our feet again. Dundee are decent but a bit erratic in their performances. As much as I think we could win this, I think I’d settle for a draw. A clean sheet preferably

I like that team but I’d give Levitt a go in place of Hodge with Lucas as Captain

I always love the analysis that consists of downplaying the wins and positives, but absolutely playing up the losses and negatives. Can't beat it.
