Our passing is appalling.

Snoozefest now.

 

Interestingly though, when i bought the stream i was number 6k odds. Almost 7k. I hope that's a cumulative total for purchases of this game alone. If so, it was absolutely correct to charge the 14/16 quid

I would be less surprised if that was over the course of the season than if it were just for this game.

Utterly sick of Hopkin. Would quite happily see him emptied.

Naismith has been excellent for Hearts it has to be said

[TheGoon 669]

Defensively, Omar aside, we actually look okay, as we have for the majority of the season. Middle to front though is as bad as it’s ever been. We’ve got nothing, and rely on teams just gifting us opportunities.

Considering his legs have gone, he's amazingly classy.

[ChampTon 8]

This is just utter shite. 

[TRVMP 3976]

Hoppy looks fucking raging on the sidelines but it's not good enough. There's just no invention at all.

[TheGoon 669]

Dreadful. That’s the last game I’ll be buying for a while. I canny stomach watching more of us. 

[pink_panther 66]

So glad I watch these games on dodgy stream. 

[ChampTon 8]

During times of low funds I really cannot be arsed paying to watch that shite.

Four league goals in six games. And three of them were against "Ayr", who aren't even real.

[AyrshireTon 452]

One goal in our last five games, and that was against a shite St. Mirren team.

Despite it being October to April - this is going to be a long season for us.

Yeah, in the last couple of seasons when we've generally been toothless we've at least had one outstanding talent who was far too good for the division and could produce goals out of nothing in Kiltie and then Cadden.

Now we don't have a creative player with half their end product despite stockpiling literally a dozen of them, and to go along with it we don't even have a centre forward as good as McHugh. The squad has significantly regressed, to a greater extent than can be excused by budgets.

[RealTonKid 121]

We have nothing up top, just a bunch of headless midfielders. The only positive is Alloa and Arbroath both lost, but they'll struggle to sell future games if that's what we have to offer.

[Ton4life 97]

Yes detaching with bottom four. Soon to be cast afloat.

Had hoped for loanie scoring some goals but are far too isolated from our group of holding midfield.

Get Lyon and Luca in the team and give us boys who have potential to become decent footballers.

This is where the criticism of Hopkin should be focused - that and inexplicably playing Muirhead of course. Jacobs would have been a better replacement for Ledger because at least you could have given Colville or someone a chance in central midfield instead. Omar is just a massive downgrade with no upside anywhere else on the park.

I wouldn't pay money to stream matches because it isn't value never mind entertainment. The job of a football coach is not to entertain people or sell streaming packages though: it is to get the best out of the squad and - in our current circumstances - to keep us in the division at all costs to allow as smooth a transition at the top as possible. In those terms we're doing okay but Hopkin's summer transfers have clearly contributed to the limitations that we're dealing with as well.

Perhaps we can move on some players in January but otherwise the sooner this nonsense season ends the better.

Maradona was the greatest player ever to kick a ball, I fail to see how a football club honouring the life of the sport’s finest ever player is a nonsense.

As for the game, pretty much going as expected. Good to see other scores going our way with the other bottom feeders (apart from Dundee) all losing.

Who decided he was the greatest player? Cheat, drug addict & criminal? Yes
