Would someone but their boot through that drum!!

I will 100% not be getting a season ticket next season and listen to that 5hite. Fk that. I'll just go to games where I know teams don't have a *******ing drum.

Liam Smith distribution FFS

It’s the weakest part of his game.

It looked to me that we came out 2nd half to defend. We sat back and let them run at us time after time. It was inevitable. Thought 1st half we played some good stuff. Fletcher and Harkes played well. Sibbald and Middleton should have been subbed sooner. Both just weren’t at it today. Behich was desperate to get down the flank but the support wasn’t there.

Thats said there are definitely some improvements within the squad and I don’t think we have anything to fear from hibs. Next two games are massive. Minimum of 4 points to keep us in it.

Think that was the plan from the start & it worked great first half. Give up posession but they werent really doing anything with it. Really thought we would push on a bit in 2nd half but it was a damp squib. Really should have come out with some belief that we could do some damage but we let them get at us & as soon as a goal goes in the plan goes out the window. Its very difficult when youve been playing a holding game to suddenly have to try & get back in the game.

Thought we were the better team in the first half. Our shape was excellent, we set the press well and went as a team when it was right to do so. Won countless balls in the midfield and dominated that area. Yes they had lots of possession, but were forced deep to have this. Didn't trouble us at all and we had the best chances.
Second half they started strongly then there was a crazy phase where the ball stayed in play for a good 5-6 minutes. Match was stretched, we lost our shape and they scored. 2nd goal was all round poor apart from Birighitti's decent initial save. After that, we just didn't get into the game. Our distribution was poor and we didn't get a look in in midfield. Sevco improved compared to the first half, but our level dropped hugely. A few tactical fouls early in the half, would have slowed their momentum and allowed us to get our shape back. One booking all game, against THEM (that was late on for a pointless foul), is hugely disappointing.

First half a positive, second half disappointing. Still, gives me confidence that there is enough in this team to give Hibs and Livi problems in the next two games and get us genuinely looking upwards. We looked comfortably a top 6 team based on the first half.

Positives for me; we were the better team first half and the fact we didn't capitulate after losing two rapid goals. I, and I suspect most folk, were fearing the worst when that happened. Oh, I thought Popadom was very decent and another game passes where he hasn't flogged a goal.

Negatives are pretty obvious but the fact we never got near them second half was particularly disappointing.

The killer was losing the 2nd goal 2 minutes after their first.
Game over.
At 0-1 it wouldn't have been.
The 2nd half after that was a bit of a bore tbh.

Watched the highlights on Sportscene last night. The Goldson handball in the box at 0-0 that VAR never even looked at😳.......what's the point. Waste of time and money. Bin it.

Au contraire Terry, the goalie was blooming good. He seems settled in now and has attitude as well. I can see him becoming a fans' favourite.

United had a very competitive 1st half, but in the 2nd half allowed Rangers and Tavernier in particular to play 10m higher up in our half. This was disappointing. However, the team can take the positives from the 1st half and move on to the Hibs game.
Also on a positive note, I thought Mark Birighitti had a sound game, which added to the clean sheets against St Johnstone and Ross County should give him more confidence. At long last I think/hope he's starting to settle in.
Ona negative note, I thought Levitt was absolutely exhausted after 65 minutes and should have been subbed for fresh legs.
