Completely unacceptable to play so negatively against a struggling team and we stand as the only team Thelin not to lose to in his last 5 games. A team who this season lost at home to Falkirk Motherwell, Hibs and drew with Livingston and St Mirren hardly world beaters deserving of a back to the wall defensive effort to try and sneak a result. They were very much there for the taking.

I don't dislike JG but his negativity and too cautious approach is costing us points and stifling creativity. And these terrible slow starts to games which I think is a symptom of his cautious approach.

I agree that we were better once they equalised and we went at them but it's hindsight to think that would have been the case from the off with the players they have in attack to be too open, they were not struggling at the time so that's wrong right away, they were in the top 2 over the last ten games form table when we went there and had just beaten Hearts at home

We went there and were very comfortable and but for a poor spill from Richards (not sure the first time) would likely have got the win, hence we need a steady keeper

If we attacked from the off then we'd likely not have been in that position, we went there without some key players, Graham and Luca, we had Bert at the back etc

The 3-4-3 system has worked ok away to the bigger sides, it's not the system, it's needing or best players on the park consistently
