Or 5 at the back as it often transpires, big risk in chopping And changing each week but if it works we will all be happy ( well most of us )

I Do think its a formation that will work for us but not sure its best position for Lyon

A point at Perth is something that has eluded us on many occasions so a good point, risky for Canning to stick with devlin but dumping guys like Jesus and SW for similar horror shows; and also very risky to bring 3 or 5 at the back out of nowhere. Dropping Gills is also harsh after playing him out of position for 2 weeks.

Nice to see Kurtaj back after falling out with Les and Ronnie and Martin and the players and various other indiscretions that came into the imaginations of some people.

Killie's win makes it tight and with us, Killie and United all playing each other soon we need a quick fix and if we are at all interested in bringing anyone in the last gasp might be good money after bad.

Good point

Canning must go now or we will not get out of second bottom!

Is it one win in 14? So poor

Well the rot stopped in the sense no goals conceded so I will settle for that although Killie winning wasn’t ideal but we are in a group of 4/5 and not cut adrift. Unfortunately its celtic then hearts so can’t see anything for us out of this games. £5 for parking shower of robbing bxxxxxxs

We got a point at a notoriously difficult venue - the reason is quite simple, Canning never once put his hands in his pockets, all we need now is for him to stop folding his arms and we'll sail up the league.

This is the world we are now in! We are happy with a point due to months of letting in goals and being shit. Today we were shit but did not let in a goal. Was this good defending or that ST J can't score just now?

The hard reality of it is that Teams around us are getting wins and by the end of Jan we could be sitting second bottom all alone.

9/24

Nonsense, we are happy with a point against a team who have a much better record against us in recent times, 4th in Scotland's top league and especially considering we have been poor of late I think it's a great result.

It seems to me that despite what ever we do achieve you still wont be happy or will look for some negative

Your happy with a point? Does this make up for the result last week and another long winless streak?

Because insults will make it all better.

Long term prospective is needed!

9/24 is not Good enought to keep a job in the armature game.

No signs of any new players or a new manager says it all!

Insults don't help; but then neither does making up lies about a player's absence or behind the scenes goings on.

It IS a good result, It wasn't a particularly good performance. Surprised it took so long to book Lucas. We do an awful lot of, quite blatant at times, shoving, its excruciating to watch at times. Nice to have Kurtaj back, he is classy. D'Acol has really disappointed so far. Dazzler, who I am no great fan of, had two or three wonderful marauding runs but spoilt it with his usual daft fouls and shoves, infuriating! Never mind, an easy week ahead! Not sure I'll make either, certainly not Tuesday and I really don't like Sunday lunch time games (unless we're away to QoS)!

Well, that was certainly better today.
Much more compact, defended well and didn't do anything stupid.

St Johnstone hardly threatened McGovern at all and Accies looked much more dangerous in 2nd half.

Kurtaj is a most welcome sight in a side devoid of much going forward.

Thought Devlin did well today after last weeks horror show, Kurakins did pretty well too although he doesn't inspire me when he has the ball.
First half we sat back very deep, as we did in last 10 mins but first 25 mins of second half they had a go and Morris really should've scored.......
That ref is honking.....every time we have him I think that he can't get any worse.....but, he does!!

Will take a similar style on Tuesday night, with a bit more good fortune.

Imrie returning will be a boost.

I was impressed with D'Acol today. Brought Docherty and Kurtaj into the game very well but never really got in good goal scoring positions. You could tell the difference when Morris came on, though.

Mmm you obsession with me is touching, the return of Kurtaj does not mean what was said by other about his absence was lies. It also does not mean that we don't have problems at the club.

But spin what you like to keep your greviance going with me!

Wasn't there today - didn't fancy the 500 mile journey :)

"Difference" - better or worse?

Worse. Morris offered nothing whereas D'Acol impressed me in terms of his link-up. It was a bit annoying the best chance of the match fell to Morris as he completely spurned it.
