So got to Tanny for the first time in a long while and has been said we only played first and last 15 mins or so.

Behich, Fletcher and Ayina (who looks the real deal) got pass marks for me, the sheer effort alone from the first two, should have inspired the rest of the team. Edwards had quite a good game compared to his last few and needs to maintain. I think it proves he plays better without Mulgrew, who should now stick to the coaching.

In my opinion Cudjoe and Niskanen should have been brought on far earlier, yes Niskanen missed a sitter or two, but you can’t expect a player to automatically turn it on, no matter how easy the chance seems; they both gave the St Mirren defence something to think about by running at their defence. How many does Fletcher miss in a whole game?

Djoum? No value to the game, tried to shore up too early, even though under pressure. The outlet ball with the aforementioned two, would have been equally effective, I think.

It definitely needs someone to be running off Fletcher every time, I don’t think we have found the answer to that yet, or tried long enough to form a partnership.

It also proved that the 1000 passes to nowhere, doesn’t work that well, even if the opposition don’t have the ball, they’ll just eventually press.

Keeper still worries me greatly, he wasn’t tested that much, so if he’s it for the foreseeable, then we have to defend when needed, which mostly for our lives and restrict teams from getting into the box.

VAR on another thread is a complete lottery and having ex pros of what ever persuasion would not solve the issue, absolutely no impartiality, as some one said before, the BNBC, would crucify teams like united, the majority of the time and the OFFA, would only see fit to employ ex OF players in that role. The only 2 I would probably trust is McCoist and Sutton, love them or loathe them, I think they along with Michael Stewart might be acceptable.

Nice to get back to Tanny though and make up an 8k+ ( as advertised) support, whom deserve much better.
