0-60 mins: Fine. Missed a few sitters but Clark pulled off some great saves so you dont worry too much. Youll score those more often than not. Their goal a deflected one thats an easy save otherwise, still unconvinced the second isnt offside.

60-90 mins: A horrible flashback. An unorganised side with no belief just recklessly running about with no direction. Made worse by the manager launching on as many attacking subs as he can, which leads to a complete collapse of our shape and kills the slim chance of getting anything back.

Didn't deserve to.lose by three. Generally played well and knocked the ball about ok but we lacked the cutting edge.

Ref didn't help matters with some strange interpretation of handball rule.

Cammy my MoM. Thought carey and hallberg did well enough but when they had the ball it seemed to slow up our play too much.

Subs should have been made at 60 mins.

Agree with this. We had our spell then you could see Hearts regain a bit of control - suppose in the manager’s defence Hearts scored shortly after, but still subs should’ve been made. As Random says chucking loads of attackers on wasn’t the right move and a horrid flashback.

Remi should have saved 3rd.

Carey standing waving his hands for ages and not contributing when he thought Montgomery was fouled and Hearts go on to score first goal. The guy is a poser who contributes nothing to the team.

May doing all his work outside the box. Rudden should have been on to replace Carey at half time.

Collum's ballyhoo about playing on a decent pitch failed to materialise.

I thought it did, we had played decent football for an hour, without troubling Zander, second was against the run of play imo,never a 3 nil

Hearts, seamingly released 700 tickets tae Saints, why was the section tae the left o Saints supporters, covered over, more than enough room to get a few mare Saints supporters in, especially the ones who couldnt get a ticket, whatever the reason.

Left of us was a wall , right of us was standard segregation, apart from the bigot bros

Did well and not 3 goals in it , stuck to Calum’s plan and played some great footy with the ball on the deck but unfortunately Gordon can’t play that way and constantly looked to pass back to keeper as he was probably scared to punt it high up park to nobody as usual . As well as May has been brilliant this season ,we are just missing a prolific scorer . I also see that Hearts goalkeeping coach has taught Zander to not loose any silly goals at low level at his posts and covers his angles well . Pity ours didn’t do that training when he was with us .

He even comes out as far as the 18 yard line for crosses , throws the ball out to start attacks and is a sweeper keeper. Saints goalkeepers coach has a lot to answer for. Zander bound to be in the next Scotland squad.

It wasn't the worst performance we've produced this season but we hadn't tested Clark before conceding a cheap goal and were beaten as soon as the second goal went in. 

There are decent players here but they are hamstrung by a negative, inflexible manager who is well over his use by date.

You look at the bounce a Motherwell team who looked atrocious against us have had with a change and can only wonder what a more flexible and less negative manager could achieve with what is a reasonable squad.

A back three of Mitchell, Gordon and Brown on the left being asked to play out is so illogical it's hard to believe any manager would try and implement it, but here we are.

Fortnight before our next game. Perfect time for a change.

Were you at the open night? 

Nothing is changing with the current mob in charge.

Unfortunately this board will not even contemplate sacking Davidson even if we do end up in bottom 2.

We must have payed money for Rudden to get him mid season so we have an injury to a striker and we play a winger up front to partner a striker who thinks he is not allowed in the penalty box.

Rudden hasn't shown too much so far but hasn't had the game time but he is at least a striker who puts himself a about as he showed against St Mirren and in last 10 mins yesterday when he had two chances cleared.

It looks like we are stuck with a manager playing wrong formations with players playing out of position.

I can't see us getting new owners so roll on Geoff who I think would have got rid of Davidson after the Kelty fiasco.

You dont need to have been at that to know what the future holds.

The whole club is in a malaise with owners desperate to leave and those left convinced we should consider ourselves lucky to be in the top flight at all.

Spot on.

Alarm bells started ringing for me during the week when he came away with the “changing the shape” talk in the media. Knew then we would have no chance of winning the game and so it transpired.

The amount of respect he gives other teams is unbelievable. Aberdeen away, Dundee United at home and yesterday are all examples of that. The team is set up in a rigid system with no attacking threat. We inevitably fall behind before Davidson decides to start throwing on random players in the hope something might work.

In the main, we are rotten to watch. No doubt the powers that be will be patting each other on the back due to the fact we will not be relegated, but that’s not enough for me. Surely they can’t be happy watching the same pish that has been on display for most of this season and last season.
