    I try to cling to the positives - we’ve not been completely outplayed in the league, we have a new squad with a number of younger players etc, but there’s only so long that we can keep using these excuses.
    Three out of our next five games are home games. I think we need at least 8 points from the next 5 games and for the team to show more attacking intent. If we go through the next 5 and things continue as they are, I think the club should be looking at Maccas position.
    Macca needs to put his hands up and acknowledge that Ryan McGowan would be a better option than many of ahead of him currently in the team and also move away from playing May up front on his own.

    Think macca has to bite the bullet and bring Ryan McGowan back into the fold either as a centre half or into midfield. He’s a hundred times better than McClelland or Smith.

    Not taking sides but how many non season ticket holders would we expect to come to this game. If you want to go do you think an extra £4 will stop you. We have many season ticket holders who won’t come to this game because of the bile. So personally I have no objections to getting as much money out of the old firm as possible.

    No doubting Kane suits this set-up a lot better than May does. But I think if May had Kane next to him, or Clark (as we saw last season), we'd see a completely different Stevie May. Frustrating that May always seems to get subbed off for another striker rather than kept on to play with the substitute striker. Personally I'd have brought Kane on at half-time on Saturday and sacrificed a midfielder in order to see how May and Kane do together for the first 15-20 minutes of the second half.

    Yeah, McClelland surprised me how slow he was and Considine is just slow.
    Much as I have had a downer on Liam recently I think he should be played against Rangers.

    Main had a bit too much personality which caused a few silly errors but I doubt we will see a better save at McDiarmid than from that header v Dundee.

    Leaving the senior players out is bad enough but having a keeper with a broken leg on the bench is a bit much.

    To be fair being the forwards coach doesn’t mean a thing if the manager sets the team up to play with only one attacking player.

    TBH I didn't think the performance was all that different from Saturday's, but this time we didn't take our chances and we were punished by a much better opponent.
    Lack of options really killed us last night as Macca had *nothing* at his disposal for either moving things around on the pitch or bringing game-changing subs on. I've never seen us look so lacking in depth and really that should have been remedied by this stage. Obviously getting targets in isn't easy but the season has started now and for me we're out of the cup as a direct result of our failure to strengthen quickly and early.
    Macca gets a bit of leeway in my eyes as he wasn't confirmed as manager until the last game of last season and he's still new to all this, but the whole club just seems to hibernate during much of the summer and that's been apparent for a few years now, and we're now paying the price for that on the pitch.
    However the coming season goes, the club really needs to learn from this and start preparing *much* earlier.

    What a lot of shite you spout.
    6 or 7 injuries with 4-5 more players coming in will change the whole dynamic at Mcdiarmid. There's still several weeks until the window shuts ffs.
