Should have wrapped that game up. Again the same players contributing next to nothing almost all game. Lack of subs was a head scratcher, Mcdonald and Clark had no legs left and not much to begin with either. Mcnulty absolutely awful again. Can we recall any of our loans as we are really struggling for players right now imo.

The substitutions, or a lack of, was an interesting one today, I can see why Courts didn't change it because we were on ascendancy and making chances, but some guys were flagging, I actually thought it showed a lack of confidence in the bench.

There is absolutely a lack of confidence in the bench.

An ok but not good result.

The Fun did their best to gift us goals - especially their keeper.

Credit to Watt who was excellent and Mulgrew with great goal.

Levitt and Graham also played well

Biggest complaint was LACK OF SUBSTITUTES !!

Screaming for subs from 65 - 70 mins.

Niskanen had a poor game by his standards - and we had Sporle and McMann fresh on bench.

McDonald obviously tired by last 20 mins.

Freeman is a top player and should also have been introduced.

Could not believe we weren’t making subs.

A fresh players for last 20 mins is better than a knackered one !!!

Someone tell Tam he’s allowed to put subs on the pitch FFS

Yes we were calling for subs but at the time we were creating chances, just not taking them

Whilst the football has been dull at times and I've been quick to point this out myself, credit where its due I think. Top six, sitting best of the rest at the split and with every chance of a European place. Far more than anybody on here was predicting and most folk couldn't see past relegation. Add to this that we sold our talisman striker and replaced him with a cardboard cutout with lovely hair, and I do think Tam deserves credit for where we are. Alxo the Dees look ****ed and despite them taking the gloss off yesterday they are going down 100%. Whilst blowing the chance of victory yesterday left me feeling robbed, I'm still happy to be where we are right now, how quickly some forget the fizzy years and the Durnans, Czabas and the other names that bring bile to the stomach.

Having seen their goals back is put Benji at fault for both, especially that second one. At the match I thought it must have been deflected but no. Never even moved at it and it's not like it was in the postage stamp or anything. Let us down, without either of them we most likely would have won that.

Agree, the first goal was more crucial, all he had to do was move his feet and he catches the cross or atleast gets enough on it to divert it away to safety, he didn't even move his feet

Definitely cost us yesterday

a few weeks ago I criticised him for making mistakes. He is keeping on making them and I don't rate him as highly as others on here. Sometimes he is brilliant but there always a blunder coming. Yesterday it cost us 3 points. To be fair to him he has got us 3 points or a point in other games almost singlehandedly with his saves.
