St.Johnstone beaten today and Hearts will be beaten tomorrow. No chance of second place but third is pretty much guaranteed.

Missed the game due to kids having bloody parties to attend.  Seen the subs and thought WTF?

seem to have mostly worked in turning it round. And I'm glad that underperforming players were hooked it looking at it I'd say it was more of a statement from the manager that captain or not- you earn your place in the side.

sky states up top was waghorn. How did he play? Given that he has been going on about being a striker on not a winger lately.  

Waggy, largely forgettable

[Tenerife Bear 1,748]

The players are a disgrace. Pedro is right up against it in the next few weeks. Fans will undoubtedly form opinions on him over that period, fair or not. Wish he could terminate a few contracts right now. 

[BlueAvenger 10,242]

Just back from the game.

No excuses, we were fuckin useless and all over the place.

I take it Wallace and Hill were injured.

H

Foderingham saved us.

Positives....St Johnstone got beat !!!

Straight from the school of kevin keegan. At least he had the firepower!

Pedro did the right thing... he cant be faulted for his pish bench, or team for that matter.

[CottonRunt 978]

The worrying thing in terms of players coming in, is that we will be losing Toral and Hyndman at the end of the year.

There is 2 players needing replaced right away.

Changes appear to have been forced. Oh well, nothing to see here

I just cannot understand this attitude. He now takes responsibility for (2 weeks now) a crowd of supposed professional footballers who played at least 70 minutes of complete pish. No ideas, no formation, no communication, no skill, no passing, no fight. Fuck me I thought it was horrendous. But for a few saves from Wes, we were on to a hiding!

This was worse than MW!

[Valance1690 3,827]

Just in from the match, 2nd half was unbelievable, never seen us play like that home or away

A back 3 of Halliday/Toral/Kiernan to start with and eventually to a 4 with O'hallaron dropping in at right back

Nice to see a manager with a plan B and trying something else, hopefully Garner showed him enough to get a start on Wednesday night over Waghorn

He doesn't have to put the flag up unless the player puts in a deliberate attempt to get on the end of it. It's been like that for a few years, you don't have to agree or like it but that's the directive.

Any dedicated full backs or good CB's there?

What a fucking disaster!

Very average display, 

Thought Fods was our man on the match which says it all. Waghorn needs a partner and that should be garner. Miller looks done, his touch isnt good enough for possession based passing football

Fod had a brilliant double save but he should have came for and claimed the ball at the corner leading up to it, also the goal was another corner head height 6 yards out that should also have been caught.

I think those half time subs are seriously worrying. Unless there was a couple of injuries then it was reckless not brave... our midfield was shite in the first half and if he wanted to make a statement then make it in the middle... pulling off three of your 4 defenders and replacing them with three attacking players is very concerning signs

Better than waiting till the 60th minute then changing the front three.

We were very poor during the first half, and at least offered more of a threat in the second half.

Granted Wez made some good saves, but fair play to Pedro for trying.

I get all your points but If he hadn't put Motherwell on the backfoot 2nd half which is something MW would never have done he would have done 60min subs instead Pedro just had a go and even though we only got a point I think both teams created chances to win the match so in that respect I think he was unlucky but also lucky if that makes sense.

[gmcf 34,199]

Disappointing result though I thought there was an improvement in the 2nd half . 

Had the pleasure of sitting next to @eejay the dj after half time . 

[ForeverAndEver 71,502]

Waghorn can fuck off as well btw, absolute fucking garbage.

One of the best Bears you can meet. Murder trying to get a word in tho :)

[Bighouse 1,012]

I'm not sharing the sort of light hearted  reaction to what happened today.

MW was rightly slaughtered for being embarrassingly open defensively so I won't be praising a continuation of that.

I just cannot get my head around this Rangers team, they can go to the piggery with everything against them and put in a battling display and play a bit as well. In front of a full house, on the back of a few good results and with a new gaffer to impress they come out the traps like a tortoise and turn in a sloppy, turgid awful display.
