More bothered about our performances. They aren't world beaters but are a decent side that attack at all costs. We look terribly unfit, can't string two passes together and go to pieces whenever a team gets through the midfield.

We are going to get humped on Sunday.

I get really annoyed at the mentality that you are too young and inexperienced (Kelly).  Davis & Arfield were dead on their feet in the second half. The kid wouldn't have done any worse.

Well done Robby McCrorie. Composed when playing the ball out with his feet. He seemed calm in there.

30 degree plus heat tonight and a stick on to play against the filth on Sunday should have meant Davis should not have been anywhere near this game for me......

[Negri's lovechild 14,710]

Controlled large portions of the game, still too pedestrian for too long though. 

Borna had a shocker, Joe Aribo and Glen Kamara played well, but again too many sideways passes. Alfie also needs to buck his ideas up, otherwise he loses his place to Roofe for me. 

I don't think it's the horror show that some are portraying it to be, but we certainly have to start moving through the gears sharpish and start taking our chances.

A nervous wait till Sunday it is then. Don't know what's going on behind the scenes but there's something we can't shake and the covid players missing is no excuse cause we were rotten before that

I don’t think the management team know why we were so good last season (they said they didn’t do anything different) and I’m sure they have zero idea why this is happening now.

I think we will. We're pish but they're not any better, they're buying into the Angeball fantasy

Feels like there's no trust in the younger players either. Coaching staff rave about them but they only ever get a chance if players are out. Patterson is a little understandable due to the captain being ahead of him but Kelly not even getting on the park tonight is shocking. 

Maybe they felt they had to but holding the ball in the corner against 10 men from Armenia is one of the worst sights I've seen. 

It would have been ridiculous to throw in a young player with little to no appearances for the club, with the game at 0-0 tonight. Too much riding on it.

I genuinely think I could have played instead of Davis. No drive, no nous, fuck all in fact.

He shouldn’t be playing every game but because Gerrard has overlooked the midfield for years he has to. Hopefully Jack comes back but we are worryingly short in midfield

It should do but we are a timid, shell of a side. There is zero fight in that squad 

How is that we have been absolutely dug shite so far this season please tell how we are going to be so much better when we were outplayed by a team who are absolutely dug shite , brilliant Kent might be back to pass it sideways then run the opposite way .

Why?

Champions of Armenia, down to 10 men and our players couldn’t have looked less interested. I can understand bad luck or a keeper playing a blinder but that team putting in more effort than we did is not on.

Maybe one eye on the weekend but if you score you can make substitutions and then just manage the game. Doing it at 0-0 and relying on the goal from last week is just not on.

Play anything like this at the weekend and we are in for a rough ride, don’t care how shite their defence is, we look devoid of ideas and fitness.

This was never about performance. It was getting the result we needed to progress.

Job done. Get on the plane, rested and up for Sunday.

 

 

I get that, but when the performance has been shite in every game bar one, then I get worried. This team are capable of far better, but they just arent performing. They are way off.

[Number5 2,171]

Well done Robby on his clean sheet.

Thing of Nightmares that.

Aribo apart, the remaining players have to be asked some serious questions about commitment to the club. Some shocking performances tonight and overall an embarrassing aggregate score against a team of no real quality. Tim's must be salivating at thought of playing us.

No real quality hardly describes that mob. They weren’t as good as that and just as well for us.

[real boydie9 18,133]

That was rank hope we're saving a good performance for Sunday.

I never buy this “players looked disinterested” line. They clearly tried. We just have no zip and little quality in our play.

[the old guard 2,360]

Hagi, morelos and barisic the worst of a bad lot, need a rocket up the arse as that type of performance won't be accepted on Sunday.

All that matters is we’re through, we will play a lot better on Sunday👍🏻🇬🇧

Based on what evidence?

Garbage performances against Malmö twice, Alashkert twice and Dundee United 

[RockwellGers 14,837]

Football never goes how you expect, can and does always surprise you. I look forward to the battle on Sunday and hope we have a good day. 

Also we are in the Europa groups, which is no small thing.

the moon howlers could lose tonight and the pendulum will swing

yes but they are flying in confidence we are not ive already got us down for a 4 2 win but we will need to be aggressive especially after that display so im going to put down a red card too maybe one for each side

Calling posters bedwetters for calling a spade a spade. We were rank rotten tonight.

If you know anything about football, you cannot predict an OF game. Form goes out the window but there is no doubt we have underperformed all season long and that is a concern.
