    he couldnt hit a cow in the * with a bread board so far this season!

    give him a couple of weeks on the bench so he realises he needs to get his finger out his fat *!

    I'm not picky.
    Maybe swap him and McCourt around then - McCourt starts with Commons on the bench. Give McCourt a chance.

    I think he is clearly carrying an injury, 5 games this season and 5 times he has been substituted almost all being early in the second half, today should have been the occasion to leave him out and bring in McCourt or Forrest.

    It's certainly been a very jaded start to the season by Commons. Our expectations for him were probably set a little too high in all honesty but he certainly needs to get his finger out and start playing better. His current level of performance simply won't do.

    He hasn't really quite got going this season but i certainly wouldn't drop him. Not yet anyway. Didn't he all but score the goal at Aberdeen recently or am i thinking of another game? Serious question. I think i can remember him creating the only goal in a game recently and i think it was the game against the sheep. I could be wrong.

    I'm not saying he should never be dropped but considering his influence last season and he has also played an important part this season so far, albeit a lot less than last season, so taking that in account i think it would be harsh to drop him. It's still only a few games in. Let's not jump the gun.

    I'm certain we will see a good reaction to this disappointing result and I'm also sure Lenny will kick some arses.

    Maybe it's a good thing this happened so early in the season. A wake up call early on for the players that they can't afford to be complacent against ANY opposition. Especially at home where we slit our own throats last year. I've heard all the talk about Inverness but that was only part of the story.

    Although we can't ignore the fact we were missing some key players, we really should be good enough and are good enough to comfortably beat st Johnstone at home. Unfortunately on this occasion the players didn't play to their potential and i hope each and every one of them realise how much they let the supporters and their manager down. Not to mention themselves.

    Disappointing result but no knee * reactions. Not from my corner anyway. Must improve though!

    Commons may have quick feet but he moves slowly. He isn't a threat to defenders in terms of skinning them. He's a threat when he cuts in onto his left and shoots.

    Majstorovic is not faster than Rogne or Loovens get a grip :56:

    He's not slow ffs! He has lost a bit of pace since last season but he will regain it if he loses weight.

    Maj is definitely faster than Rogne and there's not much in it between him and Loovens.

    give him a spell on the bench, and he might get his head together.

    Played like he was hanging big time, had no first touch, was reaching for the ball instead of running onto it, lost possession far to often and ffs missed a penalty.

    i did not see the game today. but, i remember seeing him on sky news. my first take on his appearence was that he bulked up, not overweight. i think when it comes down to his recent form (and this is only my guess) is that he is trying to reproduced the same great results as last year, this year. so, he is dumping alot of pressure on himself. he'll find his form again. confidence is key. let's get behind him.

    i think hes had a terrible start to the season. and i know i will get slated for this but i think he looks heavy! i know he is a stocky lad anyway, but he doesnt look anywhere near as mobile as last season, i dont know why.

    hi touches are shocking and hi decision making isnt much better.

    its annoying me as i like commons and think he was a revelation last season.

    i just hope he can pull it together.

    but i would agree that he couldnt argue if hes dropped

    Needs a wake up call, sitting on the bench for a couple of games might get him focused again.
