    Diabolical performance today, coasting in that first half, second half it went to *.

    I'm all for squad rotation but we still need to win games, especially at home and especially against poorer sides, which I consider Hibs at this point in time to be.

    Plus our first group game is just under 3 weeks away, I can understand the game time aspect for the younger boys, but at least put some more experience on the bench, unless there were injuries that I'm not aware of.

    Also reckon Commons should have been on way before the 75 minute mark.

    Not gonna dwell on it too much, but a really cheap 2 points to drop today so obviously hugely disappointed today.

    Just back from the game.

    Couple of points; McCourt was dreadful, his attitude was nowhere near what it should be. Didn't make a tackle all game and didn't use the space properly. Very lazy performance.

    We have also got to stop switching off. We were pummelling a poor Hibs side for the majority of the first half when, if you had told anyone in the stadium it was going to end up 2 all, you would have been laughed at.

    Not the end of the world by any means but there is massive room for improvement in attitude and application.

    Good points; Izzy played very well as did Lustig.

    What would you say the attendance was today? Lower sections looked very full for the most part, didn't see much of the top tiers on the stream. Well over 50,000 anyway, surely?

    It turned out to be more of a game than it was looking in the first half and it kept my attention to the end.I would rather not every game was a gimmy and we have to work for a result.We played some good stuff and obviously had a couple of bad moments defensively but all in all it was a good experience for some of our promising youngsters.I thought hooper was poor today he could find himself under some pressure from our new strikers.

    Game of two halves, one with Victor Wanyama, the other he was replaced with a you gater who I rate.

    We didn't take our chances and our big players didn't step up to help the youngsters, we were fantastic first half. Second our experienced players we had in there couldn't control the ball.

    Hate playing without Charlie Mulgrew or Scott Brown, performance is never at a level required without them.

    I'd say about 45000.


    We were unlucky not to win. I won't be launching my scarf onto the pitch just yet.

    Nah it was about 45000. There was a vast chunk of space in the stand above the GB.

    Not a great performance but we have so many injuries right now so I'll take a draw. 2 week break for our main players to recover


    Can't blame the youngsters that were thrown in, Watt looked lively but Twardzik and Irvine weren't upto much. Mistakes from the senior players cost us at the goals, really poor defending and communication between Forster and Lustig

    Large portions of the LL upper were empty from what I could see, my estimate at the attendance is 46k

    the attendance didnt look good we wer rotten the second half but hehoo good to see youngsters getting game time it can only help us in the long run, the league will be a canter so dropping points at this stage is not the end of the world and one other thing the doom n gloom merchants are a buzz :56:

    Wow, thought there was at least 50,000 there. Stands looked more full than I've seen them in a few months, for an SPL game.

    My stream was * but for me it looked like Forster shat himself for the second goal and just didn't come quick enough. People seem to be implicating Lustig though. What's the story?

    looks like we are not going to be the big fish in the small pond, the SPL looks to have
    got better players in than we have, that's the second time we have drawn and by the least two teams you would expect to cause us bother, I await to see and hear the excuses when we meet the better teams in the league. will it be the old favourite chin up, or is it the refs fault. just heard the new one, we where unlucky not to win.:smiley-laughing002:

    I think that Forster was at fault myself. Lustig could have cleared it but Forster was far too slow off his line
