    That was a tough watch but just shows our squad is second to none .
    Hopefully whatever is going on in the background is resolved pronto and the team starts playing the way they can .

    One thing I learned us to stick with the invincible team we have left. Griff, Rogic, brown.

    Going forward we should be starting with two strikers, even in Europe. Eddy isn't prolific enough this season to be on his own.

    Aye, he scored and missed a sitter. We played 2 up front.

    Getting the right players in their best position is the most important thing for me.

    Elyounoussi was 100% playing up front.

    Elyounoussi was playing just off the striker in a free role in my opinion.

    You’re right mate- if broony had started instead of turnbull today and game had went the way it went- every single wannabe manager including myself would have being saying how well turnbull played last week and how it would have been different game if turnbull was in instead of broony slowing it down- think the bhoy will be a good signing and certainly come good but he was pretty pish today after expectations from last weekend

    Ntchams been getting away with being pish I don't think he warrants a place in the side

    The 2 frenches sabotaging for a move ?

    For all the good players on paper we have the football is trash so their over rated

    We literally had no chances to be clinical with until Griffiths scored though mate, that’s the worrying thing.

    Another game where the first words afterwards are thank * for that.

    We need to get the finger out and start playing the way we know we’re capable of.

    Irrespective of that, is he a striker?

    Enough said.

    No, which is my point. The formation doesn’t matter as much as getting the best players in their best positions

    Play two strikers and we’ll have a great season, same as last year.

    You’re right, I should just have replied with “What a load of absolute bollocks” instead of giving any indication as to why you were so wrong :50:

    If I’m not wildly mistaken is that the way the Huns set up against us?
    This is my fear. Maybe the fact it’s against them will stir us into some form. The way St Johnstone played today with 3 shutting us down at the back is exactly what the Huns do. At this moment in time the fact there are no fans in grounds is helping them, hope that changes soon.

    Well played St Johnstone, should have got something out of it. Exactly how the huns will set up, every man has someone in their face, little time on the ball. Good warm up for for when they visit. Great vision by Lenny to put the two goal scorers on, eddy ain’t really firing so the way paddy and griff finished was more than welcome. We have 4 up front now,when fit, who can score and don’t forget, with some luck which you sometimes need, another clean sheet. Four centre half’s,glut of options in midfield and maybe not enough cover at wing/fullback....... but hey you can’t have it all. Feel a corner has been turned today. Thank you st Johnstone :50:

    Oh and by the way, a keeper we don’t keep talking about, so he must be doing his job.....

    We're simply too slow on the ball. Duffy is garbage and Taylor doesn't have what it takes. I'd much rather see Christie or McGregor at LWB and of course Jullien back.

    The biggest positive today was the return of Leigh Griffiths. Excited to see him and Edouard back up top.

    Missed James Forrest too naturally. Frimpong rarely delivers end product.
