    Our form

    Only the fun have been worse than us and no team has scored less goals.




    All this from being 3rd in the league and looking solid and scoring goals. We are in danger now of blowing top 6. This is on JG for inexplicably changing formation, tactics and not playing our creative players. I have given JG a lot of credit this season for his early recruitment and play but WTF he is doing now sabotaging it?

    No need for this imo

    We scored twice tonight, the decision seems farcical

    We deserved to win that

    This isn't about one VAR decision. This is about a sustained period of poor results.

    Most of which was expected

    There are a couple really poor ones in there, the cup and killie otherwise I can't see any real bad ones that don't have context

    Hearts home, Celtic away st Mirren away, to start, we were running in fumes mentally and physically after a very demanding schedule where we had an extra game to fit in, we finished it with an excellent win in Paisley

    The fun we could/should have scored a few in the last twenty mins, then Sevco we dominated early but they still have good players in attack hence they've won a few away from home in a row now, like at Tynecastle and rugby park

    Killie seat a difficult game to go into in that pitch, rubbish game we edged and imo the goal should not have stood

    Celtic away enough said

    Best Motherwell in a poor game but edged it and deserved to win

    Tonight the better team, mainly second half, imo robbed on the night

    If you are happy with not playing our wingers and think it is working then batter on. Poor decisions by officials tonight isn't papering over cracks for me and I am talking as someone who has stood by JG for the vast majority of time as manager. Questions need to be asked about his decision making which seemed good for the first part of the season.

    Well I agree with you its puzzling that Middleton didn't get brought on, there must be a reason as it's JG that has played him a lot even when fans were dead against it last season

    Maybe there is as reason but that isn't why we lost tonight imo, the game turned on that goal, var is ruining the game, we still were the better team after but it gave them a lift to still be level when we and they had thought it was 2-1 and deservedly so as all United second half

    I said in the match thread that it appears like JG has a dose of the Micky Mellons, and because of that we are in danger of letting a good finishing position slip through our fingers.

    I called it before the game, their is zero creativity in that line up, we competed well over the piece and were shafted by the ref, but I can't remember us making one chance from open play second half until we were going all out at the death.

    I don't see what Campbell is bringing to the team, pretty lightweight too, but I'm not sure what his role is, he isn't a creative or attacking mid, or combative, I'm not saying he is terrible, but that midfield trio offers so little going forward. I wouldn't have started Paton either, I'd have got fresh legs up there, he is struggling to impact matches, though tbf, he works his ass off, and Probably not suited to the way we are playing, and not enough support from midfield.

    Ferry injury could be disastrous, we've no cover, Middleton doesn't have defensive attributes, sjvel toiled in his short time there. We could put Graham out there, but then we have two right footed centre halves now that Holt is gone.

    something is off with Goodwin. Something has happened. His treatment of players even seems different. He will lose his job if he continues playing this way ill guarantee it. I used to say no sign of ego with him. Well now that's all i see. I can't watch Paton be given another shot when Jort does more in 5 minutes than he does the rest of the game, level too high for Paton this. Our treatment of Middleton and less so Trapanovski is nothing short of bizarre. The team is absolutely suffering right now with Middletons lack of game time in his preferred position. He managed to get him playing the best football of his life then bombed out the team or small cameos on the right ffs.

    Strain is not capable of doing the job hes asking of him. Not with the lack of pace or quality supporting him. Ferry will burn out with everything we are expecting of him. There isn't another actual good footballer in front of them. It makes for some of the worst football I've seen us play. Its a mess.

    Getting rid of Miller Thomson when he's needed. Playing Kai against the old firm and that's it. Like he's cracked some kind of code to only get beat by a couple goals if he plays that 442 against them.

    What was that **** double sub last night Fiotini and Bubunski. Incredible stuff.

    We look Micky Melon levels of ****e right now. **** knows what's going on in Goodwins head but if he keeps this up he'll be out of a job pretty quickly because it can go south pretty fast in this league.
