Blue Moon

I've not seen such unanimity amongst the fans for a long time. Almost to a man they are unhappy with the lack of progress at the club. I was reading on Twitter that there will be a verbal protest 5 minutes into the game today about Ross Wilson. Others will be more circumspect about our situation but this is about to get messy I think.

I don't think I've seen enough of either to judge them just yet. I would like to see the get a run in the team.

Can't make it unfortunately. Wee kiddy's birthday party instead. Her dad knows nothing about football hence the Saturday parties. Home game last year and this. Maybe it is a blessing.

I like the RR. Generally they are well informed and measured in what they do. Didn't know they were part of the Herald Group (like the National 😜).

I have never felt as down after a loss. Franky, you summed up why. The club is in freefall.

Alan McGregor for me. Only player that didn't make mistakes or play poorly apart from the subs.

Little protection from referees is certainly an issue and is something I think the club need to be vocal about when in fact we have total silence on this issue.

I missed that. How did he explain that?

I can't understand why he took Morelos off when he did. And Bearger I would never have started Lundstrum and Kamara in the starting 11 nor played Tillman so deep. Left a total disconnect between the forwards and midfield and we missed Tillman's incisive runs. We were far too defensive and were never in control in the first half.

Why are you making that assumption? I am assuming the manager went with experience.

He should now.

The manager is responsible for that. Totally wrong team selection and the subs should have been on at half time. Can only hope he learns from it.

I went for Tav purely on his goals. Let's hope it is a return to scoring form for him. Raskin had a fine game and is the player we have needed for some time.

We a fit Roofe or need someone like him, an instinctive and clinical goal scorer. A couple of seasons ago Tav was scoring for fun. We could be doing with more set piece goals especially from defenders. We are short of goals from all areas of the park.

That's the team I picked his morning with Jack (if fit) in place of Kamara. I wouldn't risk Hagi on that surface but definitely expect to see Cantwell later in the game.

How god is Malik Tillman? He was a joy to watch in that second half. Can Bayern Munich take him back before we buy him?

Very one-sided report on the BBC website today where Tillman, the highest rated player got 5.7 down to Morelos' 3.99. PT highest 7.26 down to 6.36. You've got to laugh except then you realise some bigoted twat is stealing a wage that we are paying for.

I think Beale called this one right for Tillman's sake. He would have been hounded for ever more otherwise. Would I be saying the same if we'd lost the game? In all honesty no.

Ridiculous penalty kick.

That was quite the match! First half is best forgotten. We were completely disjointed and no-one in midfield and upfront seemed to know what they were doing. It was good to see Hagi finding so much space in and around their box but it was correct to replace him at half time. The manager has held his hand up and admitted he made too many changes today. Our ball players had absolutely no protection from a dreadful referee. Cantwell, Tillman and later Kent were kicked off the park and were barely awarded a single foul. The half time changes made all the difference and we dominated most of the second half. We were just glad to escape with a victory. Edit. Forgot to mention how bad Kamara and Tav were. We can't continue with 2 passengers in our team.

Cantwell just ahead of Malik. Agree with the others that Borna and Davies also had good games. I agree with Bill on Davies. He is improving all the time.

I agree Bill but I also think we won't perhaps appreciate what we have until he goes.

Great post. Sums up how I feel. I love Alfie and want to keep him but last weekend I was saying I was giving up on him. He elicits a split personality in me. I don't think he will make it at a top club and it would be a mistake for him to leave.

I thought when the manager took Sakala off he could have brought on Colak. Kamara was hardly in the game and one less defensive player might have made the difference. We aren't good enough to see out a game.

We played some excellent stuff, particularly in the first half, but struggled to create many clear cut chances with RC sitting deep. I worried about their height at set pieces and with McLaughlin flapping in the goal and no-one able to clear the ball we were lucky to only concede one. It looks like we have got 2 really good players in Cantwell and Raskin. Cantwell and Tillman were our best players. As for the ref, dreadful performance.
