Played alright at times but once again our defence has been a bit dodgy . 

Thought Sakala has done well,  but Roofe needs to get himself involved a lot more . 

[Johnsey 1,540]

We haven't been that bad compared to previous weeks but still miles short of where we need to be. 

I usually defend Tav but don't get why we can't throw Patterson in when he's playing poorly. He's getting beat easily, giving the ball away and not offering much going forward. 

[STEPPS BOY 73,762]

Also, if that’s Roofe or Morelos in their normal position at front post then they don’t score there.

Basset is in no way a CB. He’s whiffing on headers for goodness sake.

Cant head a baw, looks like he can't actually jugde it coming to him

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,308]

I'd put Morelos on asap.

Read this place you'd think we were brutal the whole game 

Need to be braver on the ball. Frustrating that they're clearly not great.

Is mcinnes actually telling us why mccoist constantly had 11 men in the box at set pieces against Stirling Albion and Forfar 🤣🤣

[KaiserJon 12,392]

Hopefully we can organise ourselves at HT and up a gear.

[shaka 1,669]

It's the same problems we've been having all season in one half of football.  No creativity, no desire to press or even show some aggression when the opposition have the ball and worst of all too many players playing at half pace.

Would make some substitutions at half time but most the team deserve to be replaced.

He’s playing like a hound mate.

No shit

Agree 💯 with Ally with regards to not having a man at the post. Does my fucking head in.

[Bristoe1872 2,537]

InBadly need Morelos on the park. Also thought Lundstrum should have started. Bizarrely other than the goal I thought we looked relatively comfortable. Although we are creating nothing. Players look like they are going through the motions. Worrying. 

[Scottywellhousetb 50,432]

Whether posters on here like it or not, as a club we are totally concentrated on winning the league this season for obvious reasons, any success in Europe is a bonus, Gerrard's interview pre match said it all, don't know why I continue to drive myself mental reading some of the shite on here.

Roofe has done nothing this match. 

Roofe has been a passenger for too long - he needs dropped.

[BlueThunder 8,452]

I can’t help but feel that the Kamara booers will be happy at full time. Only Alfie might give us a shot at upsetting them.

[SkylineBlue 23,117]

We were by far the better team until the goal. We were playing well but had the wind taken from our sails. If we can come out refreshed and composed in the second half we can win this game.

Gerrard needs to properly reflect on how we are playing and what he is asking these players to do. They dont look like they know what they are supposed to do and look completely devoid of ideas and belief in themselves and what they are doing on the pitch. 

Mindless passing and hoping we get lucky. 

We need a complete rebuild of the midfield which should have been the priority in the summer. None look good enough atm to command a starting slot. 

Our defence and goalkeeper have been chopped and changed, we let katic go on loan but kept simpson.. 

Our front three constantly look like they have never met each other though to be fair its often the first time they have played together. 

So frustrating we have looked bang average and its like fitting square pegs into round holes. Something has to change and change quickly. 

According to his press conference the other day, there is no issue. No poor performances, form was good blah blah. He just isn't seeing what we are seeing!

Looks like we are ball watching all the time, not thinking quickly enough.

[Sunglasses Ron 2,455]

This team are there for the taking if we can be bothered.

[molesmole 1,037]

Think the plan to maybe rest players for the weekend isn't working. 

Suprised by the starting line up. 

Feel we can still win this.

We aren't exactly playing amazing in the league either.

Roofe seems to be lacking something right now. He doesn't look match sharp because we know he can do a lot more in games. I commented at the weekend that he looks like a forward whobneeds a goal to get going again but I'm really not sure what it is. Could be a confidence thing but it's not something he usually lacks.
