St Johnstone v Aberdeen

[rico94]

Nope, just not good enough, not by a long shot.

The amount of times we lost the ball from a poor touch, pass, control or decision making was ridiculous.

Hibs would have won that, so would Hearts.

This lot have blown third, cant see us getting it now, just dont have the quality required.

After the start we made, its a really, really poor show.

EDIT: Didnt realise Killie had equalised. Still dont think we will get third though.

Yeah today was a disappointing result because we really should be beating the side that is bottom of league with the budget we have.

I believe that if we beat Motherwell in a few weeks that will confirm our place in the top 6. I dont think we will finish 3rd either but if we finish 4th or 5th that is a decent first season for Thelin alongside the 2 cup runs.

Next season I would expect us to be winning games like today though. If we are still struggling to win against the smaller teams in the league next season then Thelin will be under a lot more pressure than he is this season.

Yeah Rico thats fair comment, though personally anything below 4th for me any season is failure & underachieving.

Weve also not had to play anyone in both cups until the semis, but you can only beat whats put in front of you tbf.

Agree Thelin will face much more scrutiny next season than he has this year - as he should.

No way Hibs and Hearts are gonna make the poor starts they did this year so hes gonna face stronger competition too.

I really dont know what he was thinking putting Shinnie back in the middle yesterday - Clarkson didnt deserve to be dropped, Shinnie had been doing a good job at LB, and he has all the creativity of a tree. That midfield combo with Palaversa (who wasnt great either tbf) just didnt work.

Thelins made a number of good signings, but theres also some questionable ones - out wide especially - so hes gonna need to hit the mark in the summer.

Shady Mo consolidated his position as an effective impact sub and not a starter.

Keskinen has the first touch of a baby giraffe with cramp, and does a great impression of a puppy chasing a crisp packet in the wind most of the time.

Okkels was just the usual - a waste of a shirt.

Width is important in Thelins setup. We need better out there.
