Really need to get more from the wide players King and Doran carried absolutely no threat whatsoever. We also need to go with an extra front man to support Doumbouya and disagree with  those writing off Boden who deserves a chance. 4 5 1 is not working for us, we need to have a plan B.        

Ex player or not, the tackle was reckless and dangerous, but to me his reaction to continue playing instead of putting the ball out of play was unforgivable.  It was obvious Brad Mckay was in some distress, yet he decided his priority was to try catch us out by going for goal. 

Think that would have been McInnes voted for him, only average today as he could only give them the one penalty. 

Absolutely 100% agree Hayes, Maddison , Rooney take your pick they have it down to a fine art, more so than any other club I have seen at TCS. Leaves a bitter taste even now, two days later.     

Though Richie should have made changes earlier and brought on more of a physical presence to support Doumbaya. To me King, Doran, Cole and Mulraney are all very similar and to be honest I have yet to see any of them impose themselves on a game and make things happen.

What has happened to Boden that he is so far down the pecking order that he is  never considered. We need to get someone  to support Doumbaya as on Saturday for all his hard work, most of it was in vain.     

Agree Clancy was absolutely rank rotten, but lets  be honest Aberdeen led by Mcinnes were embarrassing. In Maddisson and Hayes they must be guaranteed at least one soft penalty or game changing moment every game and they will continue to con referees until the SFA clamp down on it.

Doumbaya

Tremarco

Struggling for a third, Mckay maybe . 

Fair assessment from Richie Foran thought we offered very litlte going forward, although have to disagree with his comments on Shinnie.  The tackle on Mckay was nasty and over the top and could have been a lot, lot worse.  To make matters worse when Mckay was flat out in obviously in distress Shinnie and co played on  going forward encouraged by that absolute nark Mcinnes,

An absolute disgrace by a club that has no class,  

Absolutely gutted when we only took a point from Killie, although the 3 point from Motherwell was a massive surprise so evens itself out.

Thought we might have got 7 points, but 5 and undefeated will settle for that.

Hearts played the referee they had him just where they wanted him . Really awfull performance from him and the gamesmanship from Walker ,Nielsen and co left a sour taste.

Good performance from us all things considered, standout for me was Raven at left back never put a foot wrong.

That was absolutely brutal. Terrible advert for the game typified by the goals a penalty and scrambled goal.

No real fluidity from either side in a game that seemed to stop every couple of minutes.

Motm easily Tremarco who most of the time carries our biggest threat going forward, superb commitment.

Think it was a point gained from the jaws of defeat.

Mate, that is a big ask.

Was really hoping that Killie would be in total turmoil by now, but that was a decent result at the weekend.

Motherwell away in midweek, would take a point.

Hearts, think we can raise our game, payback time for earlier in the season,

7  from 9 for me .

Cant comment about 'out of depth' but his performances in the U20's after being dropped from starting XI, and his appearance at Hamilton, didnt look like a guy striving to get back into favour, which i suspect is why he hasnt!? We only see them one day a week, the coaching staff see their work rate and attitude in training throughout the week, if his desire doesn't show through the week then it's no wonder he's not getting his chance.

Whereas Fisher's desire shows through every time he takes the field. His attitude is what we need more of, as well as goals. Even showing up on a cold and windy night at Grant St to suport the U20's...That is why i rate him above the other two.

You are right I have no idea what goes on in training and I obviously base my assumptions on what I see on Saturday afternoon. My point is that is to early to write off anybody's  prospects so early in the season.

Fisher for me as well. Boden and Doumboya look out of depth but of course that could change. Fisher the most promising imho and looks the most hungry to do well. 

How is Boden out of his depth, this is based on what exactly ? A couple of games max he has started .

No idea why Boden has fallen out of favour, but lets be honest he should still be given a chance to stake a claim.

The 2 that are playing at the moment have got a couple of goals between them, hardly prolific.

Thought we were pretty poor tonight good start and a decent finish but for 60 minutes looked for route one which failed miserably.

We are certainly better than that performance.

Some decent performances Draper, Warren and Mackay some not so good .

Think Mulraney due a run of games we were really lacking pace tonight

Looking forward to this one, hopefully we can get a decent crowd through the gates and continue with our mini revival.

Maybe one change to last week and that is bringing in a natural wide player on the right, Doran or Mulraney. No slur on Liam Polworth who has done ok but is much more influential through the middle.

Difficult call for Richie Foran any 2 from Tansey, Vigurs or Polworth.

I emailed the club yesterday evening with my thoughts and opinions on the matter, along with a few questions. Received a reply today saying it had been passed on to the Chairman and he would respond soon.

I will post an update as and when I hear back 

Come on mate, no need to keep it to yourself what was his response ?

Not at all but going over the same thing over and over is tedious....sorry

Also do you actually just want a moan or do you want something done about it?

Oh and by the way the club crest underneath your name ...........it is so last year.

Given you've been met with silence I think that's your answer but if you write to the club I think you would be more likely to get something back from them.

So what you are saying is that nobody from the club visits their fans forum. Erm how interesting ......

Agree with Rig. This is becoming tedious. As with most stuff emailing the club would be a better option.

If it is so tedious for you do not read it.

Maybe to some it is a big deal , football clubs are identified by their club crests .

Once again folks the questions are very simple and should have very simple answers

* Why was there a need to change our badge wording?

* Who had the authority to change it?

Still waiting for the answer to two very valid and important questions.

Do you not think they are already doing that, and have been for years, with every penny they can safely get?

Oh FFS here we go again same old chat about pennies, give it a rest man and stop greetin.

Richie Foran has come out and publicly said he needs a couple of players to bolster the squad, these need to come in sooner than later.

If you ship 14 players in the summer and recruit only 4 it doesn't leave many options.

Excellent point ,time for the board to step up and show Richie some support

Foran was an excellent player, although sometimes let down by his volatile temperament.

Not sure, looks like the cheap option if it comes off.
