    the problem is our '1' is scott mcdonald, whos verging on dwarfism. nothing sticks up top, and when it does the attacking players are never close enough to him

    Agree.

    1,2 or 3 up front. We'd still be sh#te

    Most expected us to lose, kept our first cleansheet on Falkirks plastic for awhile, didn't leave with nothing

    Not lost ground on the top either

    Now have to beat a decent Morton side next week

    We've got our clueless manager to thank for that, but all is ok according to Ray and his happy-clapper followers...

    Another good win for Morton, and Dunfermline continuing to win strong and score goals.....both of these teams will fancy their chances over the next two weeks, and I'd bet my house their manager's won't be setting their teams up in a defensive way, or starting the game tentatively.....they be telling them to get stuck right into us from the off....

    I've just realised the answer. Don't go to the game & then you can find loads of positives ala Shedka.

    Had a lovely afternoon with the family at the Olympic, came out to be somewhat surprised to see we hadn't lost and kept a clean sheet.

    Then looked at the BBC stats and discovered we managed a mighty 6 shots at goal and NONE on target..., NONE.!!

    My heart goes out to the hardy bunch who travelled today.. 🍻

    I've no idea whether you have or not (but I'm pretty sure I will have been to more away games), but if you can't see that this is one of the worst Utd teams in the last 40 odd years (due probably to the managers ineptitude) then I can only think that you are easily pleased & must have an extremely high pain threshold.

    Sounded like a poor game where both teams best chance were headers onto the bar
