“Team needs overhauled, too many passengers.”

“Lacked urgency, energy and overall embarrassing.”

“Team needs overhauled, too many passengers.”

“Sick to death watching this slow, sideways and backwards play. Our so called elite manager is just a one trick pony.”

“Early goal again from terrible schoolboy defending.the goalkeeper too losing that at the near post is another terrible mistake. Trying to walk the ball into the net and very poor finishing. We looked like a team going through the motions.”

“I agree with our manager some players too comfortable”

“Shocking, no words. I agree with our manager some players too comfortable clearly we didn’t buy enough players so in summer we need clear out and lot more in so bad today unacceptable to lose this game have say well done to St Johnstone they deserve it today.”

“Abysmal, serious lack of effort from highly paid players. Attitude was disgusting. St Johnstone ran us off the park.”

“BR2 is off. His body language tells you everything.  And the players know it. Who’s next?”

“We’ve only won 3 out of our last 8 away games. Does the team need refreshed? Quite a few off form. Without Maeda we’d struggle.”

That’s the knee-jerk reaction shortly after the full-time whistle so the anger will obviously subside and we go again on Saturday. However what the above does show is that these players are now on thin ice with the support who could turn on them if this continues much longer. It is not on.
