Late to the party and I have voted for a change to be made. The mention of Jody Morris should be the type of a candidate we pursue. On the back of the last two home seasons dismal home form I have decided to hold off on renewing my season ticket, but seeing how the close season has gone it has made the decision simple to not renew and pick and choose games.

I haven't renewed my season ticket yet and neither have my brother or dad. We were holding off to get seats together, but as more time passes I'm not sure I'll bother with a season ticket this year, which would be the first time in 11 years.

Pretty much done with this team and manager. The clockwork like substitutions of MacPherson and May, the tombola subs getting chucked on in desperation. It's all clueless and boring to watch. The thought of 'trying not to lose' our way to a playoff final fills me with utter dread

County also getting a draw. After our previous perfoances removing both Butterfield and Hallberg is a big mistake. Admittedly Hallberg was enforced, far too powderpuff. The 4 subs were desperate stuff

I thought the same yesterday, his tackling, closing down and ability to get about the pitch can certainly add to the team

I feel like we have turned a bit of a corner, the team spirit looks much better and we have certainly added quality to the squad and we even look a bit more threatening upfront. But I agree with what others have said, that we will need to take the game to teams to start turning draws in to wins. Siegrist had 2 really decent saves and a shot off the underside of the cross bar, the red card unfortunately nullified our attacking intent for most of the 2nd half. With County v Dundee meant this match was 'must not lose'. Defensively we look really good now Cleary looks a great addition to the squad, good with the ball at his feets, wins headers and seems to like a battle. For the St Mirren game I would have Sang replacing Hallberg in midfield as we need to try and maintain the quality in midfield, that I don't think we would get from Davidson or MacPherson.

We don't have the personnel for the 5-2-3 or 5-3-2 for it to be effective and certainly don't have the depth of squad on the bench to radically alter games. I firmly believe that with the players we have 4-2-3-1, would get far better results. Booth and Brown can concentrate on defending. CM has a number of options in Butterfield, MacPherson, Gilmour, Davidson, also Craig and Bryson too. The 3, any of Middleton, Crawford, OHalloran, Vertainen or even a deeper lying striker Ciftci or May. With scope to add a further creative player. With Hendry or Kane as the focal point. There are opportunities to tweak the personnel that would have at least some chance changing a game when needed, but would rely on the 3 playing reasonably high to prevent the striker being isolated. TW brought in as Director of Football might be a shout to steady the ship a bit and provide a bit more management experience to help Callum and his team out.

May be time to pick up the phone to Derek McInnes. Callum is appearing to have run out of ideas, chopping and changing line ups and chucking players under the bus. We really needed to get to January, keeping some confidence and competitiveness in the squad so provide to a base to get new bodies in. We now have rock bottom confidence (and league placing) which places real pressure on any new recruits brought in.

Bring back Gilmour and Ballatyne from loan and get Crawford and McPherson in the bin pronto

Would have to agree with this. We have an inability to break teams down and that was typified yesterday with St Mirren sitting in and being difficult to breakdown, Jim Goodwin pretty much admitted that his team was set up. Parking Tanser right on OHalloran prevented Mikey getting any space and prevented him being able to run at Tanser which is likely where we saw our best attacking opportunities. We lack any sort of guile when spoony is missing and quickly resort to going long, this was slightly improved in the 2nd half. All these things were apparent at home last season, the main difference being I was watching on a laptop or phone, and could distract myself with other things and come back to the football, we don't have that luxury when watching it in the flesh, which amplifies how poor our home form is. A big January coming up and hopefully with financial backing and the HoR onboard we can see some positive movement for targets.

I actually thought it was a clever way of distributing a lot of tickets very quickly. The season ticket holders would likely prevent selling to away fans through self policing and the potential was the game could have sold out many times over through sales to season ticket holders alone, but the club bargained on there being a balance. I used my ticket to buy 10 for family and friends and my dad's season ticket to buy an extra 1 for someone who was struggling on WAP. The ticket office would have been unable to shift that number of tickets in that short space of time. I would not be surprised if the same system is used for the LASK game.

Are you both needing tickets still. I might be able to get some bought on my dad's season. In the north stand.

John Hartson, left over from the Celtic match

A lot of teams are having a big clear out. I imagine this will partly be down to COVID and cutting cloth to suit and lowering wage bills. Our squad is tiny in comparison to others but I have been really surprised that it was only the Celtic COVID game where we looked absolutely thread bare. No too many players out there I would be clambering for so far. I trust Callum to know what he needs in.

I wonder what will happen with Callum Hendry. When he left to go out on loan (to bigger and better things) we were languishing near the bottom of the league. Fast forward a few months and all of his team mates now have 2 winners medals and secured European football. I still think he can do a job for us and our style of play would suit him better now. I think he can do a job for us but whether he wants away though might be another matter.
