    Think part of the background to this is quite a few of our players who were brilliant for months have been taking a form dip over the last few weeks - Matthews, Vic, Forrest, Hooper etc. We have looked like we were going to stumble for quite a while. The Dundee United game didnt fool me. The sending of completely changed that game and before it they were all over us. Where the manager got it wrong IMO was sticking with Forrest and Hooper when they were way off form. When that was compounded by Stokes having one of these days then that ruined us as an attacking force.

    I think its fair enough thought to make one observation. This team looks sort of flat/square when Forrest and/or Sammy are not flying. THat is worrying because Sammy is sort of a happy accident and Forrest is young and form is up and down. SO, the creative aspect of the team is a bit thin IMO.

    Samaras never played and Forrest was ok really.

    The issue was Hooper lacked interest and Stokes was misfiring. When that happens and you don't bring on someone like Sammy to offer something different then you're never going to score. The lack of spark in the final third was the problem from the first minute to the last.

    Forgot about this till just there, when I went in on Sunday turnsitles 60-67 or whatever numbers it was around that as I went in 67, I only walked through and heard a woman shouting "Hey hey" and going nuts turned round and a wee steward was running and it was only then I noticed 50+ people had just came walking through an open gate and were running up the stairs.

    Was absolutley brilliant atleast 50 + people must have sneaked in. Whilst a steward stood talking to two polis with the gate wide open :56::56::56:

    Did anyone else see this or know anyone who got in :56: what a blunder by the steward I dont know how long it was open for as I just went up and went in but it could have been opened for quite a while and people could have been walking in for fun.
