I thought we’d be 3 or 4 up by the break given how we played for much of that half.

How slack are we at the back though? Goldson is having a shocker and sounds like the fans are getting on his back now too. Couple of really awful goals to lose. Borna should have stopped that cross coming in.

And that pitch…..

Goldson has the fans on his back now! let's see how he copes with that

[Frankie 8,570]

A good first 25mins or so then, as normal this season, we resort to a pedestrian pace, get slack on the ball and let the opposition back into the game via the concession of a cheap goal and are lucky to still be in front.

 

So, so lazy at times.

Fantastic save from McGregor! What's happened to Goldson? He's so slack now. 
 

Getting concerned now 😬

Only that Forrest was about a yard offside ... (of course, Arfield touched the ball on the way, but that only counts for Scum offside goals)

 

Livi doing what worked for all plastic-pitch teams: long balls, hope for a strange bounce and grab what chance you get from that. Anderson a bit lucky that the save from McGregor landed perfectly for him. 

 

Anyway, we still look in control, just need to stop these slack passes ... then, again, the pitch doesn`t help. Arfield, Hagi and Aribo good at keeping the high press and run into dangerous areas.

We seem unable to maintain any tempo in our game these days, it seems to stem from certain players being intimidated when pressed. 

Big test coming up for Goldson after a poor first half.

Barasic should have stopped the cross for their goal, needs to get tighter

[Rousseau 10,640]

Rangers fans wanting a snowball fight behind the goal. 

 

David Martindale's not happy.

Couple of goals? What have I missed? 😮

Sorry, David...

Maybe we don`t allow away fans to go to games who`s mental age is below 10?
