    Can we talk about the passing about the box in the last 3 minutes?

    What the * was that?

    One of those games that we didn't deserve to lose due to the chances created.

    However, we're seeing these games too often since Christmas.

    We really need to start showing up.

    Slow, hesitant and generally off it, also lazy and arrogant perhaps for some in first half?

    It's been a pattern starting games lethargically, maybe Rogers needs to give them.a rocket at kick off and not wait to half time.

    Struggled badly with the dry, bobbly pitch also - not an excuse but it seemed to freak them out on the ball.

    I wish I could say we were just unlucky today, but unfortunately I can't, we got what we deserved. Saint Johnstone did what they needed to and I can't argue against them taking the 3 points tbh.

    I * hate it when we don't show any urgency in games until late on, we should be on the front foot from kick off, but I honestly can't remember the last time we did that, which is hugely frustrating for me.

    Our away form this season seriously needs talked about.

    A more consistent huns team and we're in big trouble.

    We have had too many games like this. Unacceptable really.

    The only thing he did of note was that one ball that Idah layed off for Forrest, who should've buried the chance. Apart from that, was pretty much invisible, as you say.

    Embarrassing result against the bottom team in the league. The quality of finishing and general play in the final 3rd is more often than not miles off what it should be with this team.

    People will say the mentality was off or players are on their holidays etc but its been like this way too often this season - can add this to a long list of poor away performances characterised by woeful finishing and conceding against teams that have 20% of the ball. Same type of excuses are made for the regular no shows against Rangers now as well.

    My original point is we have been under par since Munich, which we have...

    This latter part of the season we’ve been * dreadful.

    We need to be ruthless in the summer, if there’s upgrades available spend the money.

    We are going from bad to worse.

    Seriously think Rodgers position should be considered as his tactics are shocking with the slow ponderous tippy tippy * along the back line and an inability to change or set your tram up against the side who are bottom.

    We are now entering that period where the brendan bounce is tapering off and the side is regressing.

    Not good enough...not even close.

    Ultimately the buck stops with the manager and he isn't earning his crust.

    We missed 3/4 sitters today. Absolutely brutal.

    That's 14 points dropped since the new year too. Pathetic.

    CalMac and McCowan were decent. Kuhn was poor, Jota not great and Yang had no final ball today, despite improving his game.

    Sinisalo was confident in coming for a cross, which is encouringing for him, but once again we're undone from a header.

    Utterly dreadful performance, so slow and predictable. Forrest miss at the end summed the game up, absolute sitter but we deserved * all out of that.

    Also CCV and Trusty absolutely brutal. Didn’t have a huge amount to do, but anything the did was unconvincing and their use of the ball was brutal. Far too passive and safe.

    Again, apart from the games I mentioned. Which was about half.
