When you have a back three consisting of two small full backs, it's not difficult to figure out how to beat us.

Graham better be back in next week. A centre half first and foremost. One who has played that left centre half role well in the past and isn't afraid to put his head on the ball

Not seen anything from today so cant comment.

As to playing Edwards and Graham at the back, i cannot for the life of me figure out why the 2 of them cannot be played together, but if we have to have a 3rd player in there, who would it be? Can McMann or Smith work a role between the 2 big lads?

The real issue is why have we ended up at 10 midfielders to pick from, but only 3 centre backs?

I would say that Steven Fletcher is exempt from any of the above criticism...we knew he is in the twilight of his career but he still puts in a fair shift.

Glad to see that as i think he is the only one who has played with a bit of pride while others have wilted for whatever reason!

Three centre backs and we're only playing one of them. WTAF???? Graham and Edwards played perfectly well together last season. I'm not sure what the issue is now tbh.

To be fair, the 3rd one is long term injured now! Any chance of an emergency loan for Butcher who i think is warming the bench most games for Burton!

I would be playing the same back 3/5 as the last two home games even Motherwell visit next week

Two home wins and cleansheets, if they don't make it 3 wins in a row at Tannadice then maybe to change

Freeman back in on the right, thought some of our past against Hibs was class first half, hopefully Levitt back for it

Cannot say we've not had a difficult run 3 away games after the 9-0, then 3 home before 3 quickfire away games again

We are still much better positioned than we were

Yeah, joint bottom! Much better

I think autocorrect is making that difficult to understand for me.

However, i fully understand the last bit, but not how you came to that conclusion! 2 wins in 12 and serious deficiencies in key areas of the squad!

We are still much better positioned than we were before, this looked much bleaker a few weeks ago

Looked vulnerable at the back from the start. As mentioned befure playing smith and McCann in the 3 is a gift to the opposition. We simply cannot handle high balls into the box. The keeper can’t come for them and the aforementioned can’t defend them. We can rarely put 2 passes together and win very few 2 nd balls. Djoum is to soft, pedestrian and poor at passing. No idea what he will bring to the team. Behitch can be decent going forward but gives no support to the defence. We get bullied all over the park but what’s more concerning is Fox’s comments that we passed the ball well! Don’t start this pish Foxy we look like a team that is not being coached properly at the moment. With no idea how to break teams down, defend or press properly.

Just compare the table and results, early Oct we had 2 pts and were getting cut adrift, we have been in every game since the 9-0, the defeats have been 2-1 where we were in the games, 9 games with 6 being away from Tannadice

Prior to this we had lost 5 on the bounce getting walloped left right and centre, that's why we are in the current position

Remember after St Johnstone at home, you'd have been saying we were doomed no doubt, I'm confident we will get ourselves away from danger but it will take time which I said a few weeks ago aswell, since then we've made progress but we will get set backs all season, the key is not falling into a rut and a run of defeats in the league, we've lost one narrowly today after 2 wins and a draw, if we bounce back next week to make it 3 wins in a row at home then things will seem much better with the world 😉
