Stoooop! With all the negativity. You'd think we've forgotten we have a significant lead at the top. We haven't been as clinical this season but nonetheless were still by enlarge the best team in the country.

I think that as mentioned earlier the pitch didn't do our guys any favours and the injuries done us no good. But on a whole a below par performance, the lads need a balling for that.

As for the complaints on recruitment. Yes I'm gutted that we've still got one or two areas needing strength but on a whole, playing a squad with an average age of 24. Even better 21 minus two of the old heads. To me that is evident to what BR is planning. If we get 3-4 season's CL football for 16 guys by the time there 25 heading to their peak they'll have plenty experience at that level. (Even if 4 left you'd still have 12 guys with that experience) this can only be a good thing.

With regards to plan b. We've been messing around with the formation for the last couple of games this is is trying to work out different formations. It worked against hearts let us down today, with such a massive lead in the league it's worth a gamble every now and then.

Disappointed but realistic we learn from this and move on. Expect better next week.

But is the point not, if you find a formation that works, shouldn't you just keep it, until it comes undone, and you get forced to try another one, and then you try some others till you find another one that works, don't see the point of finding one that works, and then the next game saying, "think we had better try something else for this game, just to see if it works as well",

8 points isn’t really a significant lead in my view.

It was 12 points this morning. Was there not a comment earlier about sitting static and other teams catch up we constantly need to try and improve.

The other option is with the likes of zenit around the corner knowing your options is better than going into to the game with 1 plan and untried alternatives. I'm not blind to say BR got it wrong today but i think it's to harsh to question the teams ability with 2 domestic defeats in two seasons.

4 leaf that's far too sensible a post in the aftermath of our 2nd domestic defeat in 70 odd games, you should be posting stuff like we"ll be lucky to win the league and we"ve no chance of back to back trebles. Some on here need a reality check, they over react when we win and do the same when we lose, in their eyes we are either world beaters or we're pish . The reality is we are a very decent young side that is only going to improve and are streets ahead of anything else in Scotland. In Europe
we come up short for the same reason the rest domestically come up short against us. Money.

I agree, but unfortunately there is some of our supporters that aren’t happy unless their moaning., having said that believing that we will win everything in a canter is wrong too, if Aberdeen had had taken something from us or sevco, they would be breathing down our necks, and we seem to have lost our spark this year.

And if we beat all our draws and losses then everyone would be happy and if our women didn't need to sit down when they went to the toilet theyed be our boyfriends it's a league get over it 38 games most points wins not who got points here there and were!

It’s not about losing a game. It’s about the complete lack of any threat. The complete lack of any co ordinated approach to trying to deal with Killie playing deep.

The performance against hertz was one if the best and yesterday one of the worst in the last year

The injuries knocked us but, we should still have had enough.

One shot on target shows you how poor we were. Nobody could beat a man. AlwYs taking the easier backward or sideways pass. Not until Eddy came on did we pick up a bit

I thought overall Hendry looked ok and time will tell if he can help makes us less porous.

Piss poor performance and gives us all something to think about. I’m hoping it was another one of those days. Too many of our more creative players created absolutely feck all.

A real worry now is facing Zenit with an even worse defence than we went into the window with if Ajer doesn’t make it.

Musonda was surrounded by three players at all times. Releasing the ball in those situations is the best move as they have too many players committed and we failed to exploit that.

A disappointing window was lessened by a great pwrformance on Tuesday. I think that formation is our best hope and Charly and Forrest should be the only swap if one is to happen.

Need to get our confidence back because if they play like that against them we haven’t a hope.

Any news on how bad the injuries were? Especially to Aje.

I'd agree that well win the league easy. Cups are difficult a bad day at the office for one team and another team at there best means a cups anyone's game. But were mentally a much stronger team since the Ronny days. Again when we get the opportunity and it's a game we can risk it's sometimes best for BR to try something with the team he believes will work and might be the next step to us progressing yesterday obviously didn't work well get back to normal and not take risks again till were in the safe zone again.
