Saints v Shellic rescheduled. Again.

Bad day at the office - tried hard in the first half and contained them well. Losing McGrath was a turning point - we need to be able to cope losing one player - no matter how good they are.

Given the recent highs, we are not going to get that in every game but so long as we don't start a run of these kind of performances again !!!!

Hope there are players back from injury soon - we need more depth...

Well, that should put 'Top 6 in the bag' chat on ice for a while.

Started well - faded when McGrath went off. This highlighted how important he is and that all our other central midfielders are too similar, need to look for an alternative in the summer.

It was pretty obvious soon after our system had to go out the window but we were reluctant to change unfortunately.

Incorrect penalty award for me; very poor subs and a lack of concentration turns a tight game into a hammering. Real shame and hopefully morale is not too badly damaged.

This just means our game in hand to the Hammers requires us to take all 3 points to make up for the disappointment tonight.

The last 6 matches we have won 3 and lost 3 - Played Tic twice, Hibs, The Fakes,    Killie, and Utd  - Killie and the Fakes were the only teams below us !

Perspective guys - bounce back ASAP ...

FFS we are in 6th place with games in hand.

Any chance we could stop the catastrophising?

It was one shit game.

All the more reason to not get complacent. 

We've all seen collapses over the years at various levels.

Hopefully the players take tonight as a lesson and push on with their recent form.

And based on how we started that game, rightly so.
We just need a good nights sleep and then get back to that level from tomorrow.
Not many teams will pass us off the park like Celtic did in that second half.
Many players out there looked as if they didnt want to be there.
I see a major weak link in defence, but they will remain nameless.
Tait, was sorely missed.

That was a fecking disgrace, reverted back to the shitebags when playing old firm....

Simply not the case.

We tried to have a go, unfortunately our execution was poor and Celtic caught us out with their system by sitting deeper and we failed to adapt.

If anything Celtic took on our early season tactics of soaking up pressure and punished us when we tired and lost concentration.
