Hibs away

[Arabdownsouth]

I think that’s a massive point today. Lest it’s forgotten, we’re running without Moult, Docherty, Sibbald, Graham and by the sounds of it, a half fit Trapanovski. That’s half a team of guaranteed starters right there. 16 pts from the first quarter - repeat in the next two sections and we’ll be going in to the split on 48 pts. That would be top six but most importantly miles away from relegation issues. On the flip side, Hibs are increasingly in big trouble……………………..

We'll play celtic 3 times in the next round of games ( not a quarter when it's split into 3 btw &#129325 so I wouldn't be banking on 16 points next time around. In fact if it wasn't for some very late goals we'd be bang in trouble ourselves. We need to seriously look at ditching this current formation as its clear to me it's no longer working and teams are working us out. We need to be back to basics and 442 in my opinion, more dig in midfield and more threat up front.

Robbed Hibs today, shocking performance from start to finish. Can tell Goodwin is desperate to play Strain but trying to play him and Stephenson didn’t work, Stephenson much better once moved back to right back. Every game I have seen Babunski offers nothing to this team, too slow in possession wants to much time on the ball, don’t think he won a tackle all game today. Fotheringham never a SPL player, Thomson for me was the obvious choice to replace Trap. Odada needs game time to get up to speed as he is the only natural centre midfielder we have until Sibs and Doc return.

Yes a very valuable point in the end as we weren’t at our best and it was a joke decision by VAR to give us a pen for that.

We need some bodies back from injury ASAP. We really are hanging in there in games just now and really lucky that Sheepies, Well and Hibs ain't that good or we'd be getting a hiding or 2.

I'm a bit worried that Goodwin thought that starting lineup was any good.
First half we were completely outplayed, an eye bleeding mess and lucky to go in only 0-1 at HT.
The missing players is killing us but why not put a starting 11 out that can control the midfield.
Even 451 would have been fine and it would have given ourselves a better chance v Newell and Hoilett.
We just look so vulnerable with this current back 3.

If I'm going to take any positives from that performance then I suppose we should be happy to get a point after playing that badly. More minutes for Strain and Odada I suppose

Agree with the formation in that it might work for us with our first pick 11, but it most certainly doesn’t work when 2 or 3 are out! Think we’ve proven that beyond doubt….

There is just no controlled attacking play whatsoever.

We need to look at mixing this up a bit. I know we can’t argue with a point on the road especially when playing so badly, but we aren’t even playing football here. Essentially defend for 90 mins….

Goodwin knows 3 at the back isn't working though, too f*cking stubborn to start with the right formation and forced to change it completely at half time. We need to be working on a new formation all f*cking week and no days off after that performance.

What is the story with the injuries?

This, only I'd suggest 4231. If everyone's fit then it's Luca Galls Ross Ferry
Sevelj Sibs
Kai/Miller Babunski Trap
Moult
With an attitude to try and win the game rather than not lose I genuinely feel we'd do ok

I think Dalby links up well with Moult personally which is why I'd prefer 2 up front,also we just need to be more of a threat so 1 up top just doesn't work. I'd want Doc beside Sibbald if everyone is fit too.
