I think the root of all our problems is the midfield. The space we are affording opposition is shocking. That second goal last night, Watt had an embarrassing amount of room to get his shot off. Saturday was the same but we got off with it.

I thought that midfield lost us the game, gave them the impetus for the base of their 1-0 lead, leightweight and slow, could have subbed every one of them. A pretty woeful display that would have gone under the radar had we got in 0-0 at ht and made the changes, actually thats three pretty awful first half performances in a row - Rangers, St Mirren and tonight.

Are you sure you don't want to make it 5 in row? I would add Livi and Kilmarnock to the list of poor first half performances.

That midfield trio was so slow, lacked mobility and poor on the ball last night. Must have been fitness concerns over camara not to start him, which if so I can understand as you wouldn't want him missing for a lengthy period. I'm not sure what the answer is at the moment tbh, a sitting mid to screen/protect the defence? Maybe pappoe was the answer. You can't play 2 mids without camara in there.

We were lucky their shooting was rank Saturday as they had a lot of opportunities edge of box that never got closed down. Think last night there was an element of game being stretched and having lots of attackers on pitch, but even if then the defender can get out better.

First goal I thought the Hungarian lad just lacked bit of aggression to get ahead of the attacker and get the block in, but I'd have to watch it back, which I don't intend doing anytime soon.

It's a bit of a cliche, but it was one of those nights I felt sorry for the away fans travelling through midweek to see a first half effort like that.

Sick to fk of hearing Jim saying the same shyte, we need to start games faster blah blah blah and yet we start every game like the players have been f*cking heavily sedated! Fingers out of arses time or this season is only going one way. Drastic improvements required all over the park and first picks need to be getting splinters on the bench until they start giving it everything for the shirt.

Taking a half to warm or to rethink team choice is killing us.

We seem to approach most game negatively. 1st half defend and hit in the break. 2nd half more attack minded. Problem is we are usually having to come from behind with this game plan.

I?ve mentioned previously that we need Graham back. The defence at times is a bomb scare with big Bert at the heart. They don?t seem to speak to each other or know how to cover each other and are often caught out of position and fail to pick up runners.

We are also missing Max. I think moller and max cld cause issues if played together.

Has JG explained why he decided to start Camara on the bench?

Apparently he had a slight ‘niggle’.

I appreciate it's early days and he deserves time but, from what I've seen so far, Moller doesn't look like a striker that'll score. We have a fantastic knack of finding these fellas.
