Full time 0-1 Desperate stuff really. The squads a mess, but we knew that anyway, that's why Danny is leaving in the summer regardless. He's not leaving now though, it's too late. Badly missed Goodwin tonight. Magennis is not a outfield player and shouldn't play for us again. Kelly and McGinn had perhaps their worst games I've ever seen them have for us. 0-1 flattered us. We may still avoid 11th but if we do it will be more luck than anything.

Flat as the proverbial pancake here. St a Johnstone cruising home. If we do get anything from this game we won't deserve it.

Thommo booked, looked a tad harsh.

Not much happened last 10. Saving ourselves for the big push..... Here it comes... Any time now...

Think we might sneak 1-1? Would be jammy, but certainly got a chance.

Teale on McGowan off. Not the sub I would have made, but let's see how it goes.

We have soft looking penalty claim after Kenny hits free kick hit into wall turned down.

Magennis plays like he's a centre half that's just thrown up front in desperation for the last 5 minutes. Big, strong and a bit quick. Doesn't have the faintest idea what he's doing though.

Magennis header off the line. MUCH BETTER!

Much better last 5. Thommo heads narrowly over.

Carved open down the left side again. Cut back, Saintees miss a sitter from 8 yards. Who knows how this is only 0-1.

Big 45 minutes, here we go.

Newtons been terrible aswell to be fair. 4k a week aye? Wouldn't give him 400.

Newton off Wylde on.

Kello off Dilo on... Injured I guess ?

Half time 1-0. Lucky it's only that. Magennis and Kelly have been shocking. I would say get Sean off, but we don't have another left back. Certainly get Magennis off, get Goodwin on and sort out the midfield. Get McGowan, McLean and McGinn further forward.

Wee half chance from a corner for us comes to nothing.

We need to get in without conceding again here. We are an absolute shambles at the minute and 0-1 flatters us.

I can't believe Josh Magennis started instead of Goodwin.

1-0 St Johnstone From corner Been coming

Still not great. Wee saints getting a lot of joy down our left side, Sean's having as poor a game I've seen him have for a while. Thank goodness May or Hasselbaink aren't playing, if they were we'd be losing by now I think. Still 0-0 though!

Not a great start. Mix up between Kello and Cheesy presented them with a half chance from 18 yards which was just wide. Very much on the back foot in midfield, get Goodwin on get Magennis off. Still 0-0 though...

I'd drop Magennis for Goodwin and go: Kello Naismith-Cheesy-McGregor-Naismith Newton-Goodwin McGowan-McLean-McGinn Thommo In the 4-3 game that front 4 caused the Saintees back line no end of trouble and I'd like to see us go for it again. Campbell's done nothing since the first half at Easter Road and doesn't deserve a start IMO. Can see us maybe sneaking a narrow win but I'll sit on the fence and go 1-1.

Although I can certainly see where the 'must win' camp is coming from, I certainly wouldn't put this game in that category. If we draw we will go 2 behind Killie and there's a decent chance we will go 1 behind both County and Thistle. Hardly all over given we we will play all 3 post split and 4 of our 7 games after this one are at home. A loss would certainly damaging to moral but it wouldn't be fatal. Out of these 3 games before the split 4 points would be a decent return, 3 wouldn't be bad, anything less than 3 and we will certainly go into the split in big trouble. I'll save the must wins for the post split matches though.

I've always used the VW centre in McKean street around the corner from the ground. My Bora's on 240k miles now so they must be doing something right!
