    * boring game. Take the point and move one. Everyone can see what we need and everyone knows we ain't gonne get it. Too scunnered to dive into issues that clear and obvious.

    He was part of the issue. No doubt about that. Scales was our best player mate. Take the blinkers off.

    Our front three were the biggest issue, for me. Scales failed to successfully progress the ball forward without losing it for the first half hour of the match. He defended well, but Cam was better imo.

    Our front three are a major problem. There’s no question about that. Our midfield were equally as bad though. Surely you can see that. McGregor was part of that, and once again, looked miles off it. Scales defended our box far better than CCV. Failing to progress the ball forward more often than not came from a severe lack of movement from the midfield and the front three that you have said were a problem. There was zero movement from our forward players today.

    Yamada won some fouls, but had no real chances. Pressed well.

    Yamada was a success for sure he's No1 pick for striker for me, made runs held the ball up strongly and well under severe pressure was fouled a good few times from it, finally a striker that can bring others into play, he has to start now

    Most disappointing aspect of today’s performance, was how predictable it was.

    Somehow the defence again kept a clean sheet, but as mentioned earlier our attacking threat from last season has completely evaporated.

    Across the whole team (from back to front) possession is too slow, clunky and lacking confidence, pace and purpose.

    How the *, the board have contrived to put us in this position is beyond me. But realistically, on the showing so far this season, a fortune needs spending to put us anywhere near where we were only a few months ago.

    The midfield was definitely a huge issue mate, not denying that.

    100% His head and half his chest ahead of the last defender. Not even debatable

    Take this in - they have conceded 114 chances in their last 6 games. We created 0 of those 114

    Definitely no excuses whatsoever but coming back from a massive trip around the world 7500 miles playing at altitude for 120 minutes knocks absolute * out of you for many days, Aberdeen and hibs 2 tough away trips both at home today, Aberdeen lose to Falkirk hibs draw, we were * today no doubt about it, certainly no happy clapper be raging if we don’t get a few in, no overjoyed but okay with a point away at the shitpit
