Very poor show Saints. Ross County took total control of midfield. Only bright part was Stevie's overhead kick. Only started to ask questions of their defence in the last 8 mins or so. Good chance to get further away from Hibs gone.

Need to total yup our game, put pressure on right from the word go.

Very very disappointed, perhaps Tommy would be better using using the energy he spent shouting at McNamara in shouting at our boys.

Pissed off at 3 points dropped

I thought Tommy spoke really well after that p*sh, refusing to make too much of the goal at the end. And I agree with him, we didn't deserve anything from that.

 

Really disappointing performance. The midfield is letting us down. And it's hardly news but McDonald offers absolutely nothing in midfield, or indeed anywhere on the park.

First chance I've had to see a game in months and it was absolutely dire.

Croft got plus points for showing some endeavor on the wing.
What an enigma Hasselbaink is. Some of his first touches are sublime - but the number of times he gets the ball and is easily dispossessed, leading to an easy breakaway is unbelievable.

 

The County goal was a peach, but two players were so easily skinned it was a joke.

 

Someone was asking earlier when we last equalised - that's a good point. It points to us being an extremely one-dimensional team in that others are so easily able to shut us out of games. This is tactical naivety on the management side at best. Certainly we never looked like scoring a goal tonight, against a team who had a goal difference of -17. That's twice that County have shut us out this season - they must wish they could play us every week - we're keeping them up, having gifted them an easy 6 points.

Poor poor show, and not one that'll have many fans rushing back to McD. You just have to look at the way McInnes has taken a grip of what was a very poor Aberdeen side to see what potential there has been to bring back fans. We may never have the pulling potential of Aberdeen, but 2200 fans in on a Saturday evening tells a sad story.

Taking Croft of seemed very bizarre. Lets take our only player who created anything off and change formation to 4-3-1-2 and play narrower. Makes total sense. Lets not stretch them and allow them to stay tight.

We played right into their hands and allowed it to get scrappy.

Very poor. Deserved to be beaten. Two good saves from Brown and a very harsh decision for an accidental handball but us getting anything would have been robbery with violence.

Outplayed and outfought. Service for May and MacLean was non-existent.

McDonald....f**k sake.

Absolutely abysmal!

Beating by a very poor County side. They are fighting to get away from the playoff position for a reason.

Defenders scared of their front two.

Losing out on 1st, 2nd and 3rd balls!

Can't pass only punt.

McDonald losing possession too much.

Hasselbaink posted missing, again and again. Never defends, goes in the huff but never gets hauled. He provides no balance to the team.

Second half was a disgrace. Route one with Nigel up top?? This causes me concern as it seems that TW has no back up plans.

May and Macca isolated the whole game.

Why does Spoonie not play left and croft right. Dunne and Cregg in the middle??

More cash wasted on that shite again.

Nobody deserved man of the match, nobody for me for over a 5.

Their keeper was outstanding with 3 great saves.

We are Jekyll and Hyde this season.

Only shining light was Hibs were beaten today.
