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.

Seriously though what strengths, we came out in that second half and never strung more than 2 passes together. We never went looking for a second to try and kill the game ,we just sat in . In the end we were fortunate to take a point.

Absolute comical at the Pars goal , 4 of them crowded around some picture book that Wilson held onto the whole game.

Second half was devoid of any football from us and consisted of Ridgers passing it to their centre half's head and them coming right back at us. If they could have finished their chances we could have been embarrassed this afternoon 

FFS we even made Joe Chalmers look good.

Absolutely dominated by QP , who passed it around us for fun and imo did us a favour by time wasting and not going for a 3rd or 4th goal. Could have been embarrassing today.

We really are devoid of any fresh ideas and the opportunity for change in the summer has been a badly  missed one.

Barely 2000 for an opening day fixture ,sez it all really, nobody gives a toss about the clubs current set up.

Seriously though orange and red, with a stick on badge,classy stuff.

Is this a third kit ?

anybody know if we have dumped the red and black altogether,pity all the folk who bought into it last year, scarfs and hats etc

Probably just got rid of the most in demand and classy away kit(red and black) for this ?

2 best players off to Killie and County surprised that they both set the bar so low.

Both could have done so much better.

Typically we don't get a bean for either of them, criminal how we let our prizes assets slip through our hands year after year.

Not many goals in that 15 listed at the top of the page.

Lots of blah,blah and maybe this is going to happen , but then again  probably not. 

None of this convinces me we are going in the right direction and there is any sustainable plan in place. 

Just words to try and sell me a season ticket again.

'Interviewed by the Sporting Director' wtf is he still doing around. Wage cuts, players released ,but we still have a Sporting Director.

Honestly, time  to look at who's contributing off the park, and who is living off past reputations.

Never got the opportunity to see the best of either of them. Woods especially only got a few minutes here and there ,usually brought on when we were chasing the game.

F*** sake Deas,  Kilmarnock !! more of side step than a forward step I  think. Been outstanding for us, could have done a lot better.

Big miss, McInnes just loves sniffing around our players, obviously a master at picking them up for next to nothing.

Did we not only take 1 point from 6 in our last 2 critical games.

Absolute disaster of a night, no competitive football for a month and we are expected to turn up and give Celtic a game ,wtf. They have now 5 warm up games while we just kick our heels.

Tonight was a huge let down for a decent crowd and all the momentum we had built up over the last couple of weeks just evaporated in a terrible 90 minutes.

If you asked any ICTfan who would you take in the last game of the season (at home) Ayr would have been up there. But for some reason tonight we bottled it, big style. 2 maybe 3 shots on target in a must win game ....not good enough.
