Get duk on. Keskinen is torture. What a ball from Leighton that was and he'd no idea what to do with it

The fuck was that? I've supported Nilsen all season but that's criminal

We seem to play backwards a lot. Hoping a big diagonal comes off. Constantly putting ourselves under pressure. That's on Jimmy, surely tactical and it hasn't worked for some time.

I genuinely think Polvara could be a good centre half. He has height, pace and composure. As little as we've seen of him there, he takes away the threat over the top with his reading if the game and pace.

Garbage again. Strong start then lost belief. Tobers looked ok, mcgarry put in a shift. Otherwise we were bang average. Doohan makes two fantastic saves and deserves to keep his place. Morris deserves more time because nobody else can create a thing. Props to Polvara, did really well again filling in at the back.

Thought Clarkson had been our only composed midfielder. Whilst shinnie continually hooks it blind over his head into the channel hoping a red shirt gets there first. Okkels disappointing so far but we aren't building it well. Back to my earlier shinnie comment. By the time he turns the ball to the wide areas is cut off. We're then firing it back to a CB or full back and launching it 40yds for a 50/50

I know I'm never his biggest fan but is shinnie ever going to open his body to receive the ball? First touch is always backwards to let him turn around. Plays like a full back funnily enough

Thought Polvara did really well at CB. Also thought Clarkson did well and seems to be hitting form. Maybe we should be playing around him.

Can't agree. All fart no poo. Though just having some endeavour made him better than most.

Shinnies passing is fucking abysmal

I'd settle for somebody smashing Tony watt and accepting defeat at this point.

It's shinnie playing in the hole?

All the optimism is gone. We seem to have a squad who only play under a new manager bounce then collapse. Time our captain was replaced by someone with drive he's overseen multiple disasters now and is clearly unable to turn a team around. McGrath is quite comfortable playing at the bottom of the league ( he's used to it) and that's his level. Nice touches, little effect on a game. Flatters to deceive. Those being two of our middle three, is it any surprise were seeing mediocrity and not dominating? Keskinen is a headless chicken, I'd be gutted sitting on a bench watching him run into people. All round disappointing again. Mentally fragile team and despite the miracle start, Jimmy will come under pressure soon if any January changes don't improve form.

United deserved that. We're toothless and we have a weak streak through this team. Imagine losing to Goodwin. Jimmy has a big few weeks. Can he be ruthless and add backbone to this squad because that's what's missing

We're far too deep and laboured trying to play forward. Need to be getting that ball up to the wingers a damn sight faster. Ps McGrath is a total fraud. Tackles like an under 10s girl. Just doesn't have it in him to roll the sleeves up but amazingly always seems to stay on the pitch

Is mitov our play maker now?

McGrath anonymous, shinnie just isn't up to the physical games and this was always going to be one. Nilsen very poor today and we look to have no real plan other than to get it in a channel and run with it. Really poor. Changes are needed . We need to up our physicality and impose ourselves on games because the tactics have been found out.

Aye he should've been out with the line.

Had our chances. 4 on target each. Doohan did well Only criticism is that they just seemed a bit physically stronger in the tackle. I though Nilsen was a force in there again.

Actually thought doohan looked comfortable and was quick off his line when needed ( the goal was a bit of a fluke with a deflected cross then it comes off Devlin from the header) Mcgarry played ok until going off.

That was a rough second half. Again, struggling to get a foot on the ball up the pitch. Thought despite a couple of slack passes Nilsen was everywhere winning the ball. Shady was outstanding for the first half and Milne was excellent. The games changers on the bench struggled to get into it though. Not a bad result at tynecastle I'd still question playing McGrath wide instead of someone that can get past their man. Especially the way we spray it wide early. I think it's him or Clarkson, not both.

Had a few let offs there. Great goal from ester, although Morris must take a lot of that credit. Centre halves and the keeper are an issue. Don't seem to know who is doing what. I know Mitov is a great shot stopper but he's quite indecisive when the ball is in the box and the centre halves don't seem to know what to expect. All young but definitely could use some work

Devlin very lucky there

Surely we brought a nisbet in to get in front of the centre half. Both strikers were pointless today.

Most dangerous team won. Passengers everywhere. Now the real work has to start. No threat from us at all today. Sick of watching us try to cut the ball back instead of firing it across the face. Another game where the physicality was questioned.
