Utd to send Saints marching home

[Dreamsof83]

A brief positive.....was good to see a change in the shape. We began to look comfortable enough in it. Agree re: tempo being to slow as that was clear for all to see. Were flashes of positivity, committing defenders on the wing first example. Behich and Fotheringham combining well on occasion. Absolutely should be winning that game when we get level. Can't legislate for the idiocy and sabotage that followed.

I try hard not to be too critical. I have taken my time since Saturday for that reason. Like others though I am concerned by the lack of "changing up". Not surprised McGrath came off. Just back from injury so was never going to complete the full game. Can't understand not being more positive from the bench after that though. Had attacking options (only options we had really) to make a positive impact. If he had done more than one change at a time would still have been able to bring Newman on for the imposter when he got injured. No excuses there

Some credit to Fox for the shape change (wish it had come sooner though). Huge criticism for in game management. Would like to see a move to a 4-2-3-1 from a 4-3-3 now. McGrath central with 2 out of 3 wide players (Middleton, Fotheringhay, Cudjoe) to support. I think this is the only way we will get more bodies in the box to effect chances. Also gives more targets for Levitt to create from deep to.

Need more from Fletcher in terms of finishing though. That 1v1 looked just onside on the BBC pictures.

Unbelievable, despite how rotten we have been, it remains in our hands to get out of this. Personally think some subtle changes like above will give us more penentration. Bring on Saturday

I'm not sure what Graham has done to get his place taken by the young lad from Huddersfield. The young lad has actually pleasantly surprised me. But Graham must be wondering, WTF?

Agree with all points. Credit to the big lad fae Hudds, he's been decent.

We must have different definitions of what "in our hands" means, because as far as I can see, we need to win some games and are relying on other teams losing games at the same time. Us winning is not enough so I wouldn't say that is in our hands.

Strictly speaking, it is. Win all our remaining games and we'll finish a minimum 10th. Not gonna happen I know, but I assume that's DO83's point.

Yeah, that's true, but all the teams above have to do is match what we do and we're goosed.

Not if we won our game in hand

On plastic.

We've had one league draw on plastic so far. Yes, we beat Livi there in the League Cup, but that was our first win there since Adam was a boy. Our overall performances and record on plastic is myopic.

Aside from Parkhead, that game in hand is possibly the toughest tie we could face. And we're bottom at Week 25 (26 for the league).

We are in all shades of s h i t e and there is no room for any slip ups at all now. None.

Agree Mecca , not holding out a lot of hope re that game in hand , our record on that surface and against Livi in general is horrendous , even more of a concern is lack of bottle with those players for a relegation scrap . At the moment I honestly can’t see us getting out of this .

Nah Killie away would have been worse, just can't get a result down there. ☹️
