Really poor so far. I have little expectation that the second half will be any better.

Quite. If people want to boo then go to watch St Mirren, or Scotland, instead.

Relax. I didn't see anybody with a saltire in the main stand.

Lennon should not take any responsibility for the coin thrown at him. Lennon should, however, take some responsibility for his own actions. I've no doubt that there are rules that can be used to discipline managers who taunt opposing fans. I doubt the football authorities will lift a finger against him though.

Some uncalled for boo-hooing.

There is a twisted morality at work. It is just that it is not one Tom English will own up to.

I'm in the main stand too. Around my seat most of the people booing were directing it at some guy waving a saltire.

I think that people were booing because the second half was a massive departure from what the team had showed previously this season.

Barisic will be first choice when fit. Not much we can do about that just now. Katic has, arguably, played his way out of the team. I did wonder about Grezda during the match though. Why has he played so few minutes? It looks like Kent is suffering a dip in form so perhaps it would have been a good idea to play Grezda instead. Perhaps we will see him start in the next match.

This manager won't do that either ...

If I remember correctly a big part of the problem for Le Guen was that he thought mediocre league form was tolerable. This manager won't tolerate it.

If you watched the game you would know what to make of it. We were crap.

The second half, in particular, was terrible. We looked like we had no idea how to play football. The manager needs to get a grip of this quickly.

During the first half Kilmarnock had two defensive midfielders and a central defender on a yellow card. Despite this we still played it out to the wing at every opportunity. Very frustrating to sit through.

Hodson fails to displace Flanagan ... again.

Did I miss something? Is Lee Hodson now in contention for a place in our team?

A bit like wondering if Flanagan is better than Hodson, no?

Oh aye.

Even if he wouldn't score it looked like he would easily draw an actual foul.

Quite. Aberdeen would not have been able to compete with us if Morelos had been playing. Just need to wait a while and get them at Ibrox.

I've not watched a replay yet but it looked like Sadiq dived from where I was sitting. I have no idea why he dives in that situation. To me it looked like he should have stayed up to score.

A few things are becoming clear after this match. The attack is heavily reliant on Morelos. We can probably manage ok with Lafferty but Sadiq can't play that role at all. Coulibaly has put in a few underwhelming performances recently. Starting to wonder if this is what we can expect from him. A return to pre-injury form would make a big difference. Flanagan is a good defender but looked like he doesn't have the pace to compete with some players. I'm hoping for Barisic to return as he will offer more to the team overall.

Have you been drinking? Was Russell Martin old-school British, imposing or physical? Pretty sure Cardoso would be weak no matter how much time he was given.

His contract ended, no?
