The Dundee game and the joy of the semi aside we've been honking and toiled every game I've  watched us. 

Winning ugly? We've been riding our luck and tonight has been coming. Utterly disgusting stuff.

Fuck off eh :Warnock

We've won 8 out of 9 including a semi after getting relegated so lets not slate Neilson just yet ffs.

A lot of those players have to use this as a wake up call tonight though. Boyce and Lee should be dropped.

Neilson deserves some flak for another uninspired performance from the usual suspects. But it's not his fault we've skelped the bar twice and Boyce missed a sitter.

This goes way beyond Neilson - he's inherited a bloated, overpaid squad that needed stripped before he could bring in wingers. Left us with 3 strikers, and they are all starters Laugh 

If we are trying to play with wingers, I'd rather Moore was at least on the bench above a joker like Frear.

Not worth getting carried away, at some point we are going to have to give a manager a chance to actually fix the absolute mess that has left us in this position.

I wasn’t exactly buzzing with his appointment but ridiculous to be writing him off with the start we’ve had to the season. Some people need to start being a bit realistic, if you’re going to greet like fuck about how bad it’s been over the past however many years accept its not going to be fixed in 2/3 months. There’s absolutely no doubt he’ll take us up, doubt him long term but he gets teams out the championship.

It does and it doesn't.

2/3 wingers signed have been shite. Was Frear even a regular starter at Motherwell? Cannot remember ever seeing him play.

Of course he deserves flak, he made an arse of it tonight with selection and attitude but surely his start has gave him a bit of leeway otherwise cunts have chucked it and have a short memory of just how bad the last few years have been.

I'm looking at the players more for this tbh. Really bad approach to the game.

Possibly a bit harsh on Roberts, but Frear is definitely a dud. I think the consensus when he signed was that he was shit, but should be adequate in the Championship - turns out he absolutely isn't Laugh

The pace clearly comes from Ginnelly. Very worrying that one injury is what it takes for our game to suffer.

You were defending Frear who was absolute pish but slating a kid who came on for 20 minutes and set up a goal. Naijoy

Even if you don't rate Irving, you surely can't deny he's a much better option than Olly fucking Lee Warnock

Might be overegging it a bit, but I've really not seen anything from him yet. I just don't care for wingers who seem to be reluctant to take players on. Ginnelly seems to be the only one of the wingers both willing and able to try things in the final third.

I stated Frear was no worse than anyone else in the 1st half. I don't believe he's good enough. After watching the last few games I would suggest that applies to a few of the players Neilson has brought in. We lack pace and energy and opposition players know that and target it accordingly. A bang average player with a bit of industry and tenacity will cause us problems. We saw that all night.

Andy Irving has a decent left foot. But similar to Lee, and a good few others, his lack of pace and urgency are major problems for us. Sorry if that doesn't sit well but it's how I see it. Irving and Lee are so pedestrian it's not true. You need a real edge to make it if you're that fucking slow. I don't see such an edge with him.

We need to keep it firmly in mind that a number of those players out there tonight played their part in our relegation. It shows big time.

That's a huge defeat in a truncated season against a side who'll be up there. Put ourselves under pressure now.

Struggling to care like. We'll still stroll the league.

Olly Lee, Roberts and Frear are humpty. Irving should be at Falkirk or something like that.

On to the next one Jezza

The greatest indictment of where we are as a football club right now is this: we, the 3rd biggest club in the country are playing in the Scottish Championship after historic and continual mismanagement and piss poor performance. We are continually told we have one of the best and most innovative youth setups in Scotland and yet we have not one player deemed good enough to start and grow into the team even at this lowly level. We bring in total journeymen ahead of giving the opportunity to young players who surely wouldn’t do worse and suffer through yet more dreadful Hearts games.

I mean, a good number of those players were involved in our relegation so it's not hard to lay blame at the feet of the players. Their attitude tonight was rotten. What were Jamie Walkers instructions? Go on and do your level best to get sent off?
