    Heck of a goal by Glass and Neilson looked good coming in on short notice, but apart from that I can't say anything good.

    That's not really the case

    We were where we deserved to be and still are, what had happened is a few players lost form just as we started getting key injuries, with that lost a couple games, one not deserved vs St Johnston, one deserved at Tynecastle, we got a couple decent results after that but still didn't get a break with the injuries and when Fuchs etc did comeback in he was a shadow of what he was before, the odd individual error aswell that we weren't seeing, poor discipline at the same time as injuries (Butcher) .. Losing the late goal in Dingwall also didn't help and affected us, we've had no run of games with our strongest line up for weeks now, then the covid outbreak happens at the worst time and we are seeing the affects still today and last week

    Hibs at full strength today, us not and that was before Edwards dropped out just before kick off (like Levitt a couple weeks ago) ... now glad the other games were moved, hopefully get the injuries back and covid affected players, make some alterations, if we get a chance to field our best xi consistently then we will do alright, we were able to do that and we got results, we haven't recently got the reasons above and this if the result

    Don't get why they decided on 500 to go in the George Fox Lower tier, that tier alone holds over 4000

    ETL surely the better option, still 4 seats for every fan

    Yup. We're actually now worse off points wise than we were this time last season and on a terrible downward spiral of form, the worst in the league. Thankfully St. Johnstone and The Fun are equally as bad as us right now or I'd be getting concerned about relegation creeping up on us.

    Yes, feared with Neilson in there but he did well, and Glass goal was quality. Only good thing about today is we have a winter break now, ridiculous amount of injuries, suspensions and Covid. Even accounting for injuries our attack all season long has been complete liability in terms of goal scoring threat and holding the ball up, and not acceptable. If the big French guy is ever fit and any good he has to come in.

    We are sh!te end of story. Thank **** we put points on the board early or I would be sh!tting myself thinking relegation was on the cards. Think we will scrape 9th or 10th to be honest.

    We aren't though, if it was a run of 8/9 games with our strongest xi not winning, then it would be a concern, it's been anything but, we've missed key players consistently through injurys, suspension and the like, before we managed to get back to something like our best team the covid outbreak hits, we have barely had one first choice centre mid at times from our earlier good run of form

    A run of games with your strongest line up and you get results and momentum, you do better than a stuttering period with injuries suspensions and mixed with loss of form

    One positive today is Glass scoring what sounds like a cracker, he impressed me in a recent home game, maybe Livi... Can see him becoming a regular higher up the park if he maintains that

    Well that was fun. I was one of the "lucky" ones who got a ticket today. Soaked from start to finish and nothing on the park to warm me up apart from the one piece of brilliance from Glass. We are woeful going forward and have ZERO goal threat with Clark up front. Hopefully by the time the next game comes around we will have better options up top, Nowhete near good enough. Courts now has less points than Mellon after 20 games, Honeymoon period well and truly over now for him and he needs to start showing he can turn this around soon.
