    Yang got a reprieve from me recently but it's been revoked. Just cannot have a player who is so dreadful on one wing compared to the other, just looks utterly clueless there, not adaptable in the slightest. Always want players to do well here obviously and only player in recent memory I seriously wanted chased was Bolongoli, but just think this lad needs gone.

    Yeah our run in the league should see us at least back to 11 clear by end of Jan, probably more.

    Poor performance where the conditions did not help. We were always going to drop points here and there throughout the season.

    There is no title race. Just a bad day at the office.

    Yeah. I know there has been a drop in performances the last month or so but we've had a good season so far. Won a cup, favorable position in the League and Champions League. Traveled to most of the tough away grounds and won all the games outwith this one. It's annoying to drop points today and we should of done better but outwith the invincible season we've probably had one of the best start to a season for us.

    Won away at Tynecastle, Easter Road, St Mirren Park, Pittodrie, Fir Park and Rugby Park.

    Outside Ibrox this was probably our last difficult away fixture for a while.

    Win the next two, beat the huns and the league is ours, I wouldn't be surprised if the huns drop points in the next two games either.

    Think we started the wrong team. The tricky conditions would have suited Idah, Bernado and Valle from the off, much better in my opinion. Hatate and Kyogo are completely off the boil, and should not be starting games.

    I would not have taken McCowan off, as he looked the likeliest to score. Yang and Palma
    offered absolutely nothing.

    Our squad depth is poorer than we imagined and needs strengthened in January.
    And once again we waited far too long to make substitutes, we should be bringing players
    on at half time, when things are going against us. It was poor game management to be honest.

    I think we all knew our lack of depth out wide would cost us points in games like this at this time of the season.

    I don’t think it’s a big deal. We’re still 9 points clear. It underlines the work we need to do in the window which is no surprise. It’s only problematic if we neglect what we need to do.

    I'd put it more down to not being clinical or composed enough today tbh, rather than lack of wingers. Which is still a problem of course.

    Had enough chances to bag a couple and absolutely pat our shants.

    This game showed we can make one or two changes to the team but after that it begins to look a very ordinary team the lack of pace was evident today and it shows the need for another couple of quality players

    We just need to upgrade the dead wood. Too many with no future here getting game time. That's the next stage of our evolution and it should start in January so we no longer see Palma and Yang .

    A poor 2 points to drop. Dundee united were awful and it took us about 80 minutes to start creating chances.

    Did you miss the chances in the first half ? The manager referenced them in his post match commments. Hatate has to score or square it for a Kyogo tap in. Kyogo gets a cut back and fresh air shots with the goal at his mercy . So many chances edge of box with no pressure and we hit wide. One of them freak days in front of goal.

    The performance today reminded me of early last season. I've never seen so many backward passes since then. Sore watch today.

    Sections of our fan base our entitled, spoilt messes. Getting the fear for Ibrox after a draw with half the team out. Thankfully the squad will stay calm and carry on with the business at hand.
