IMO we were not adventurous enough going forward. We were clearly better than most teams but were happy to knock the ball about, until ultimately the game just fizzled out to nothing. 

No standout player either who could raise the game or the supporters, we kinda just plodded on regardless.

Result didn't match the performance but more worrying is we finished the game with 8 loan players on the pitch. Of the the 3 left 2 were over 30.  Basically we are going to completely have to rebuild from scratch, maybe need to sign ten or more players in the summer and get them to gel in probably less than six weeks.

Not good for the CV, would like to think he would do the right thing and walk away from his contract. 

That had to be the most torturous 90 minutes ever yesterday. Thank f*** Ayr where more concerned on going down and time wasting or it could have 4 or 5. 

After being gifted a way back into the match we still couldn't kick on and the lack of desire or effort to win the game is scandalous. Where is Ferguson's much celebrated will to win, I see no evidence.

Maybe Samuels is not the answer,but we will never know if he doesn't get a chance. At the end of the day we are quickly running out of options and games.

What is with Austin Samuels never getting a kick, surely we have try out all our options, because at the moment we ain't gonna scoring.

Solid at the back, but absolutely no creativity going forward. 

Not a great penalty has to be said. Although to be fair it was gifted to us.

Thought last night the only way we were likely to score would be a set piece, but on second look even Devine's hatrick of headers were miles off.

We are in a real dog fight with a bunch of loanees who will be leaving in April. Will they go toe to toe against Morton, will they scrap for everything against a rejuvenated Queens, will they have the guile and wit to take points off Raith. Some have never experienced proper adults football. It looks more like our management team have totally underestimated this league.  

The bunch of loanees were the standouts tonight. Not sure where your thinking comes from to question their commitment. Cammy Kerr easily the best player on the park tonight

Just a 1 nil will do fine for me.

First half did ok 3 central defenders solid, made  changes  again as last week and the whole dynamics of the game changed. 

At  2 nil down they should have been gone ,as it was they looked more likely to score the fourth.

Positives today though, first in a long while.

Hopefully that's true , but just have a nagging feeling it might not be that straightforward. 

It's Scottish football after all.

Oh f*** what next, things are really not good for us right now.

These temporary stands must be well past their sell by date by now.

Nathan Shaw is struggling for form along with a few others. Always produced his best form out wide, not sure suited to his new role in a midfield of 3.

This is a wind up surely.

Things are pretty grim right now, but give the guy at least a wee bit of a chance.

Such is the apathy that Hibs probably outnumbered the home support today.

Baffling substitutions, as said earlier the three at the back were coping well, and swapping 2 of the 3 was never going to be a game changer.

As usual,gave the opposition to much respect and it took until 90 minutes to actually have a go.

Not sure how we can turn this season around.

Unbelievable we couldn't put a really poor QP under any sustained pressure after going behind. We had 40 minutes but yet again huffed and puffed and created next to nothing.

IMO need to go back basics and ditch the 5 at the back.  Playing one up at home with Billy McKay playing deep in midfield is not working.

Starting with 4 centre halves, that's an interesting selection.

To many players looking to take the safe option when a little more ambition is needed.

Unbelievably for large parts of the game we never played with a a striker with Billy dropping so deep.

Whatever formation we are playing it's not working, No wonder we are struggling to create and score with five defenders and Gilmour sitting just in front of them. 

Last 5mins we showed some desire but as always to little to late.

Need to have a good look at the formation ,5 at the back clearly not working with the players we have. 

Shocking again only 1 off target shot.

IMO we need to move the ball quicker and cannot fathom how Welsh (if fit) isn't starting.

Cannot believe our lack of desire to win a football match.

Things have to change in the second half or we are a stick on for the automatic drop.

The five at the back definitely does not work.Lost count the amount of times harper had the ball on the half way line and had to go back due to nobody wide in front of him. 

We just carry on threat going forward.

Get the terrible conditions didn't help, but thought we were a lot of 'huff and puff' yesterday and lacked creativity . All just a wee bit flat, Patrick not much better though 

On the plus side the central defence looks pretty solid and willing to carry the ball out ,as opposed to the usual long punt.

Early days I suppose ,but the table does look alarming as we head into winter. Cannot afford a repeat of the last 2 winters

Signs of improvement but still came away with nothing, worrying we are going to get detached at the bottom.

Positives ,the two centre backs look  decent and good to see Doran back to some form.

Special mention to Goodwin though ,an absolute tool. Set up his team in his own image, sez loads about his lack of class.Lost count of how many yellows, a deserved red, niggling fouls,trying to deceive for a penalty the list is endless . Also a special mention for his ultimate shithousery. At least 3 times DU deliberately kicked on an  extra ball to try and break up our attacking play. 

Sadly at 4.50 all our 'jobs for the boys' had disappeared from their cushy padded seats straight into the bar. All had made themselves scarce before Carson and co had even left the pitch.

Only the Pars board were left acknowledgeing their players.

Absolutely no faith in any of them and do wonder how many have the club at heart and are not just on some ego trip.
