    stationary defending

    Watching the highlights and noticed we had 10 players inside the box and still let mcgregor stroll through easily to score their first. players seemed to just watch and nobody took charge to challenge him. Someone has to make the desicion and commit to try to stop the player. Im not one for picking teams, tactics and training but maybe something JW should be working on.

    Possibly but just think defence has been fine overall this season, we've not had the same defence playing every game either recently, two of the last 6 league games have been at Celtic park and one at home to Rangers, has seen us concede 8 goals

    In our last 6 against non old firm sides we've conceded 4 goals

    Thought Graham looked poor for that goal to be honest. Standing with his hands behind his back then a poor attempt to block the shot. i know easier said than done but letting Jota constantly cut in on his right is just asking for trouble, need to be showing him down the line more. Turned game off at half time, cant stand our lack of attacking threat. Its quite pathetic really.

    Also wtf are we doing with Campbell. Playing him as a striker? nonsense.

    Too many players now look like they are struggling either with form or system.

    Stephenson for a young laddie has lost that bounce.
    Fotheringham seems to have temp plateaued and not progressing
    Adiboyega needs to be taken aside and refocused.
    There seems to be some kind of animosity between Trap and Ferry on the left also (Ferry didnt play saturday but could be seen before)

    When it comes to stationery defending I think we need to push the envelope and think outside the box.
