    We should be closing them down, making them panic, slowing the game down when we get the ball, taking the ball into the corner, we could have made 3 subs all separate times, we could have faked an injury but what we did was just say attack v defence last 10 minutes, its was ****ing pathetic.

    We could only make one more substitution( well 3 but all at the same time) but even that would have helped.

    Sitting in and trying to hang onto a lead is either an instruction the players are being given or they players are ignoring the manager. Either way...it is a massive problem which isn't getting resolved. Totally unacceptable!

    We used to do it last season, I wasn't comfortable with it, but it was effective because we had the players who could defend a lead and basically head everything that came into the box, we were also fairly limited offensively for options, the whole team was geared up to to keep compact and limit the opposition.

    Yeah I got you bud. Three sets of fresh legs and an interruption to the game was absolutely needed and on top of that we were just so f*cking naive too. We should have had about 6 players going down with cramp, players getting booked for time wasting etc but instead we just left them to it. F*cking amateur!

    That's what was frustrating as think he got the team correct yesterday, it was the most we controlled a home game in ages, we should have been ahead by half time, we got the well deserved lead

    Then he decides to not utilise the subs to break their momentum was strange, we badly needed it, he said himself he didn't ask the players to fall deep so he should have made that sub, bring in fresh legs like farrugia, Dolcek and eskesen to run and close as it was clear Luca, Pan and the new boy were struggling to close down in the last few mins

    We really deserved the win so it's a sore one to let 2 pts slip, after losing 3 at Easter road

    Ok it's not a disaster result wise due to winning at Falkirk last week and getting through the cup but it's very frustrating again as would have increased Pts gap to those below and gained on Falkirk , the only team that did gain on us was the fun but they they dropped pts last weekend so it's as you were before last week's games, we've gained on the sheep and st mirren and still have the games in hand

    Yea we needed to be more street wise at the end, but as we weren't the manager should have taken control using the sub, we had plenty legs on the bench to run about for 5-10 mins

    would have thought fresh legs not only to see the game out but with midweek in mind too.
