v St Johnstone (h)

[BackRowArab]

Can't wait to check out those chances again. On another day we could have won 3-0 easily. First half was shocking, every single player was off their game, first touches were a disgrace. Even in the second half when we improved, still too many players standing like statues

I had a brief chat with TC after the game and he was away to do exactly that too. 🙂

Max must have 2 broken legs,a dislocated knee,a pulled hammy and shin splints if he can't get a game up front over Clark.......mon Tam he's had his good game of the season at Hibs so it's now time to give him splinters on the bench.We are battering a team in the 2nd half looking for that equaliser and Tam doesn't put another forward on!?!? I honestly don't know what's going on in his head.

This 500 %. If Clark is the answer then feck knows what the question is. Truly baffling team selection today. Thank feck I was in hospitality and didn't have to watch that sober. Tam must've been on the pish last night to come up with that tombola travesty.

Frustrating as the result is, it was actually a cracking game of football to watch.

Well what did we learn today (hopefully Tam does too)

We cannot afford to drop the likes of PP and the mighty Finn for 2 x championship fringe players

Smith is not a right back

Like Wednesday we struggle to break teams down who sit in against us, it’s hard for every team though

Their keeper was MOTM but we still should have got an equaliser

We still need an out and out striker hopefully a fully fit Max is the answer cos it’s certainly not Clark and I like Clark

Referees don’t give us many decisions in our favour

The Nichols bridies gie you terrible heartburn, it’s steak pehs fae now on

Winter is here that was f ucking Baltic the last 30 mins

Good summary J, and totally agree, we had a winning “formula” why fecking change it (if we didn’t need to)?
Hopefully lesson learnt, move on..

All three subs were for players that we all wanted on from the start. 2 subs at half time tells us Tam knows he ****ed it up today. First round if games we lost first time out due mainly to a poor set up and second round of games has started same way. Let's hope Tam learns his lesson, if it ain't broke don't fix it. An encouraging second half but ultimately my feeling is one of real disappointment tonight.

Second half I would agree TTT but that first 45 mins was tight up there with the Pittodrie performance on the opening day. What on earth was TC thinking with those changes. Mind Boggling.

[BackRowArab]

I'm guessing there was a reason such as tiredness or something, I'm also assuming he wasn't hoping to have to bring them on at half time. I'm sure he didn't just make the changes for a laugh.

EDIT: To also say that Saints made 4 changes today

Very poor first half. Wrong team.

Very good second half, deserved a couple of goals at least.

Some feking goalie that Fermer Bin boy. Scotland squad.

Tiredness should not be an issue, its not like we play every midweek. ****ing hell our great United teams of the 80s regularly played well over 50 games a season sometimes over 60. I doubt they had all the molly codling modern day players get either. Niskanen played an hour on Wednesday so unless he was injured its unfathomable to think he couldn't play the whole game today.
