Three solid signings with SPFL experience. Surprised St Johnstone let Tanser go, to be honest. A good days business all round. 👍🏻

I have to say watching that first goal back it is just magical, fantastic play. 
precision pass from Alnwick, brilliant control, pace and accuracy from Tait and controlled header from Erwin! 
wonderful goal and, if that was in the Hollywood EPL they would be raving about it!

I just watched Jim Goodwin's interview from official site he literally admits he went there looking for a draw he didn't think we could win the game with the players he had at his disposal .He really needs to get rid of his cautious approach and start believing in his team even Erwin said it was the plan to sit off them Jim really needs to change his mindset and start believing in his players rather than worrying about other teams because we are a good team being held back

A lot of credit due to the team today. We could easily have folded after the unfortunate situation two weeks ago. I think the international break gave time for the wounds to heal. 
A thoroughly professional performance today and pretty much everyone played their part. 
Great to see Dennis back, tremendous goal too, and a safe pair of hands in goal. 
great response today 👏🏻👏🏻

On reflection it is still disappointing that we blew the top six opportunity in the end. We did the hard work closing down Dundee United before meekly letting St Johnstone close us down. 
people, quite rightly, looking at the ‘it’s been a good season’ scenario but the season isn’t over and, in my view, we are the team, apart from Ross county possibly, in the poorest form so let’s see where we finish......
poor strike force, too much tinkering with starting 11 and tactics and a manager more interested in courting the media are the defining areas of our top six challenge. 
 
Onward to the next chapter of our history

The big worry now, for me, is the psychological impact this will have on us for the last five games. To be two goals off sixth we could now, realistically, slide down the table. I hope not but it’s a possibility. 
you look at the years we were fighting for our lives and playing teams above us who had lost momentum and how that helped us....
 

All depends on what you count as success or failure, if success is avoiding a relegation scrap we should just about manage that. Midfield and forward has had no continuity or style of play for the majority of the season. As someone else has pointed out we have actually only played well in a handful of games all season.
We have a manager who spends to much time worrying about the opposition rather than letting them worry about us. Our "success" this season has been built solely on our very reliable goalkeeper and the defence. We have turned JDH from a box to box midfielder into a very average holding midfielder and you could probably say the same about Ethan beside him. Durmus is asked one week to play as a wing back then the next a winger is it any wonder he looks lost at times. The least said about the right hand side of midfield the better, where Connolly and McAllister compete most weeks to see who can run about the most and contribute nothing to the team.
We have a multitude of forwards and for me, they all fall into the "mehh" category, oh for a Somner, McDougall, McAvennie... sorry showing my age.
Finally we have a manager that overthinks everything and seems scared to take risks and today was another perfect example of this.
To summarise I feel sorry for the guys at the back, but going forward that is not a top six team i'm afraid.

Like @lenziebud said above the Fakes game against Ross County will be a similar scenario to ours against Accies - at least it's in our hands.
FFS - How many spelling mistakes can you make in a one line post? 

I certainly hope so bud 👍🏻

No less than expected today. Doesn’t make it any easier to take! Probably the worst day of results for us today and part of me thinks tomorrow will be similar. For the simple fact that smellick won’t want to surrender title at home to sevco. 
I have to admit that st Johnstone are in great form, although after cup win I thought they’d take their eye off the ball. Accies, in all fairness, have had a steady run of results. So at this moment in time I’m glass half empty.......
oh and our nemesis team this season St Hibs did nothing to help!!! Typical 😫😤

Jack hasn't helped us much since he left to be fair so today isn't a big surprise. We will do it with no favours from anyone.

On a slightly different note, I am very disappointed with the manager’s comments in relation to the penalty and about Quaner. He has called his own player a possible cheat and, whether he thinks it or not, should not berate his own player in public. 
this is more about his own previous comments about other teams and to save his own face he calls out his own player!! The lad didn’t dive as there was, in my view, clumsy contact.
