That equaliser was totally out of the blue but we will take it. We were poor today but for once we had a plan B. Main issue continues to be the fact we have a top class striker who works his ass off but gets no service. Hoof ball won't work! Another worry is the fact that some become anonymous when things not going. I'm not convinced by Shane Sutherland at all at moment but he seems bomb proof? Oh well might be a vital point in end and actually in end we might have snatched a win.

Just waiting for someone to blame the wind at Arbroath or covid for that load of bollocks. The mediocrity of the teams around us are keeping this race going. Good debut by Mr Donaldson at Morton warms the heart though, shipping 4 with a bonus og too. Nice.

Great last 10 minutes to the game but wish we showed some of that urgency through the rest of the match.

Relieved to have rescued what might yet prove to be a crucial point and actually find ourselves a point closer to the top. However, that was, for the most part, very poor and we are going to have to find much better and more consistent form if we are going to maintain our promotion prospects.

What worries me is that we seem to have become so poor at doing so much of the basics. For 80 minutes today, we were 2nd to most of the 50:50 balls, we couldn't pass the ball, we couldn't shoot, we couldn't cross, we couldn't find spaces we, didn't try to take players on, there was no movement at throw ins and we couldn't cope with the far more direct and attacking movement of Raith. Thank goodness Ross got a knock early in the 2nd half because he made complete mincemeat of our defence in the first half. Yet again, it was Ridgers who saved us from the scoreline we deserved. We only came alive and showed a bit of belief after McAlear's great strike, but by then it was too little, too late and too panicky. We may still be 2nd in the division, but unless there is some considerable improvement in the quality of our, play we will be fortunate to even make the playoffs. I'm not going to single out individuals for criticism because we don't know who has had Covid and how issues around Covid have affected particular players and what can be done in training. But remember, we got 19 points from our 1st 7 games this season but have only managed 17 in the last 13 games - that's the sort of return that over the season would hopefully keep you just above the playoff place at the wrong end of the table. We'll need to do better than that for the rest of the season if we are to remain in the playoff places, and much better than that if we are to maintain our title aspirations.

The main question for Dodds and Wilson is why did the players not demonstrate the sense of urgency they showed in the last ten minutes for the first eighty? We need to be at it for the whole match and that is an ethos that needs to come down from management.

I agree with most posts,main players poor today. Their number 22 was very good and we could not handle him.Just as well he had to go off.Don't know if it is just me,but why we persist with Sutherland I don't know.He is a big fellow but cannot jump and he is easily knocked over.Thought he was a passenger today

If we'd got a goal from that ass-ist it would have been superb.

If Duku doesn't get a goal this season, him making a pass off his arse will be forever engraved on my memories

A poor show from our main players today not trying hard enough!

Very talented player but glad to see the back of him

I am sincerely hoping that we will not be eligible to play in next season's Challenge Cup.

We did well to recover a point even though only played with any purpose in the last 10 minutes. Carson Sutherland and Walsh were the main culprits in the first half. Duffy was actually playing okay. Interesting that Dodds at long last resorted to 3 at the back. Broadfoot was also playing left midfield before our goal. Have to win next week to restore confidence in the team and faith of a lot of our fans. Any word on ticketing arrangements for the QoS match?

That was an atrocious performance. I didn't even see the equaliser as I decided thawing out was more important than watching another five minutes of that dross. Turns out I missed the most exciting part of the game! Far too many players off form at the minute. Maybe Deas, McAlear, Allardice and Mckay get pass marks. The rest of the guys were well below where we need to be at if we are to sustain a title challenge or at least maintain our spot in the playoffs. Harper and Walsh created precious little of note although their roles did change when we move to 3 at the back at the start o the second half and both defended well but we desperately needed them to create more of note for the likes of Mckay who was living of little to no service. I cannot agree with some earlier comments that Duku and Sutherland did well. I thought they were both really poor and I am surprised that Jamieson continues to be overlooked for both of them. The move to 3-4-3 did seem to lead to a slightly more improved performance in the second half but I felt that Walsh and Harper became too preoccupied with having to defend and weren't able to create anything of note down the flanks. For the most part we seemed content launching long balls towards Mckay, Duku and Sutherland. The latter two almost never won a header and Mckay was absolutely dominated by the excellent Berra, Musonda and Benedictus. A big difference between the sides was the Raith back three were able to find their midfield and forwards with well struck passes along the ground whereas we seemed panicked by the fact we were losing and thumped aimless balls forward with little reward. With Gardyne and McDonald moved on in the last couple of days we desperately need reinforcements in the wide areas and after unimpressive showings again from Sutherland and Duku I wouldn't be against additional competition for the strikers and perhaps looking at moving one of them on. Duku just doesn't seem to offer anything in this side for me. That we appeared to have scored with our first shot on target a few minutes from the end is incredibly concerning.

Duku actually looked decent when he came on. We wrote him off as a dud striker earlier in the season, and whilst he’s never gonna score goals for us, he at least brings something to the attack that we aren’t getting from anyone else.

We were shocking for 80 minutes and didn’t deserve anything from that game. We were second to every ball and could not keep it when we had it. Our midfield misfired badly, particularly in the first half, and it was no surprise when Carson was hooked. The only ones getting pass marks from me are Ridgers, particularly for the save at 1-1, Mckay and McAlear. We are having more off days than on days, and need to get a grip. Thankfully our rivals are also misfiring but we can’t expect that to continue. We need a creative player to give Mckay the chances we know he will take, as we created very little today. However, under the circumstances a point gained, which we now need to capitalise on.

It's very simple. The first thing we need is someone who can consistently put the ball in the back of the net. The second thing we need is someone who can pass or cross the ball to the first person, instead of over-hitting it nearly every time.

WIN PLEASE 😉

Thankfully in my ‘research’ into this I didn’t find the actual video footage, but I did learn a new word. Turns out autofellatio has nothing to do with cars. 😮

Also a bit concerned about where the probe ended up.

Great news that he has been released.

I almost invariably wish our players well when they move on. Not so on this occasion. Gardyne's behaviour unsettled our dressing room for far too long and deprived us of a regular goal scorer in himself at a time when we were and continue to find goals hard to come by. I am sure, had he behaved better, we would have more points on the board at this stage and be leading the table. Goodbye and good riddance MG.
