    Genuinely don’t know how anycunt can blame him for that.

    The squad is a shambles and few injuries have shown it up again.

    Well and truly * it tonight, he's made some utterly mental decisions in the games we've dropped points this season, going to be a monumental task to pull this gap back, we don't have a squad remotely capable of winning this league currently.

    Can forget winning the league unless there's a massive, massive improvement in performances.

    Before tonight the winning record was great over the last few months, but the actual performances have largely been poor. We've had injuries, yes, but the idea of Angeball (sorry) has been just that - an idea. How many times in the last couple of months have we blown teams away and put games to bed with plenty of time left? Once or twice?

    He's being hamstrung with injuries but he needs to find another way to win games. Yet again we had a bucket load of set pieces and did * all with them.

    Tippy tappy pish. Also we must be the least imposing side at corners in the whole of Britain.

    Could Kyogo not have been on the bench as a go to in the event we were chasing with 10 mins to go?

    He'd have been there to tap in that one Ralston fizzed across for sure.

    I understand he's not 100% fit but leaving him out completely tonight when we only have 1 more game before a 3+ week break seems baffling.

    Don’t think he should be getting any blame here to be honest. The squad he has fit is completely inadequate.

    Johnston - Abada - Moffat to break down 11 men behind the ball? You’re kidding yourself.

    Why was Moffat off before Abada or Johnston

    Surely we have a B team striker who could at the very least be something to hit up front games like that I would honestly rather play at CB up top for the sole purpose of having a focal point Abada offered nothing

    Didn't manage the game very well, but almost all of our problems at the moment stem from a total lack of any depth.

    A striker is fit and we win that game tonight imo. No disrespect to Moffat, but I don't think he is that atm.

    No really sure what else he could have done. We don’t have the depth to replace dumplings like Johnston and Abada.

    The failure to win tonight falls squarely on the attackers on the park.

    He got slaughtered on here for taking players off or resting them.

    * he’s getting slaughtered TONIGHT for resting Kyogo..

    Kyogo said he felt his hamstring again when he came off.

    Don’t think there was any chance he was making it.

    He has the same basic problem all purist coaches have. If plan A isn't working what then? Juranovic tried hurling a few crosses in but who to? Abada? Johnston?

    Fair enough

    The mental decision to risk him v Betis has eventually caught up and cost us.

    Its there for all to see, take out our front three and we just drop so many levels. Abada and Johnston are just not good enough.
    10-15 side passes before each cross is terrible, that game tonight looked like something you would see in a pub league.
    So many basics missing from this team, shooting from edge of the box that does not end up in the north sea, crossing to a area where we have players waiting rather than them stood watching it flying over there heads. Free kicks and headers, why do we never score from those anymore. All our goals from the start of the season have vanished. Said before all these scrappy 1-0 games would bit us in the * and we got lucky last week with the 97th minute. tonight it ran out and it wont be the last points dropped, we are hanging on by a thread and some real quality needs to come in during Jan.

    Is that every game we've dropped points in this season Kyogo hasn't played up front ? He played wide at Ibrox and never started against Hearts, Livi x2, Dundee United or tonight. We're a 1 man team

    Yep. Baffling why we couldn't put him or at least a natural number 9 from the academy on the bench..

    No one can convince me that Abada was a better option than say a Brooks..

    If we're being honest this has been coming. We lucked it at Dingwall. A number of home game's we've failed to take chances early and then ride our luck getting over the line..

    We've gave them a massive lift. It can't be denied..

    What a Christmas present. Torture man..

    How is he supposed to implement his own style without implementing his training regime? It's partly due to the stresses of the high press game he wants to play and also bad luck, but it is largely due to a lack of reliable depth.

    He's also been slated for poor squad choices every time he does rest players, which again, is because the replacements are incapable of getting the job done.
