    That was a relegation performance...

    There were a few positives - Carson good, Mugabi did very well relative to his position in the squad, Campbell better, Turnbull much better (though still with a long way to go), Seedorf again dangerous, Hylton lively when he came on.

    But jeezo...Livi just lost to St Mirren and got pumped at home on their midden of a pitch, they haven't won a game on grass for over year and while a draw was probably fair, we certainly can't say we were unlucky not to win.

    Hastie on the right yet again? Long equally poor when not asked to lead the line? White won a few headers but is an utter donkey and nowhere near good enough for the top-flight yet we gave him 90 mins (!!!) with Watt on the bench? Polworth almost sold the jerserys twice. I'm not going to crucify Lamie as he's effectively third choice LB but we'd be as well playing Carroll on one leg.

    I'm normally relaxed about Robinson's flaws as a manager because I think overall he gets the club, the players always back him and ultimately scrapes through on the pitch but three games like that are very, very hard to defend. Easter Road and Parkhead are obviously going to be nil points so if we don't beat Accies at home (or god forbid lose, which you wouldn't rule out) we'll be bottom of the league by the end of an August which should have, on paper, had points flowing.

    Edit to add: for all my moaning, I can see us getting better and sharper in the midfield and/or going forward. But we're not improving the defence or the supply to the midfield/forward until our injury situation gets better and that's a long time coming. We're essentially a relegation team until September, this will not be pretty.
