    A miss of that magnitude has to play with the mind, really drained the confidence from him.

    Terrible miss and shocking performance. Could see what he was going to do before he done it everything on the wing, was like watching McGeady again.

    His shift going backwards was * as well, shown up work rate wise by his counter part. I will say it when we signed him and will say it again he is a pointless signing and people flew off the handle cause he scores a couple of goals.

    These loan deals are killing us.

    Was a shocking miss and he just never recovered from it unfortunalty.

    The boy is a special talent though.

    I still can't believe Roberts missed. Sad day for him I hope he recovers as he is a brilliant player.

    When we had a chance of a counter and Johanssen had the ball looking for Roberts to overlap and he just couldn't be arsed.

    Wee *. He may have 'talent' and be 'special' but he's a shitebag.
    And unless he sorts it out he won't go far in this game. Great wingers have heart - so far he has none.

    The reason he is with us is because he isn't the finished article. He should have scored, no doubt, but he's here because he has stuff to learn. He shouldn't be the player we're relying on so heavily.

    We put him in a position we're relying on him, nd of the day it should be someone like Commons in there in games like this. We put him there and it didn't go right, he'll learn, hopefully quickly enough that we'll have the benefit next season.

    Can't believe we let him do an aftermatch interview though, throwing him to the wolfs there.

    As long as he learns when to pass and when to try on his own he'll come good. Also needs to work on his finishing

    Apart from Griffiths, Tierney and now maybe Erik we have * all else to rely on.

    Team full of shitebags. That's it. No heart for a fight.

    Don't think that's it mate, Mulgrew was going for everything as was Broony even though he was * shocking. We have players that hide, no doubt. Bitton, GMS etc.

    It looked like we'd been told to not pressure them though, we stopd off all game, gave them 2/3 yards. Can't get my head round it. Everybody was dointhat, holding a deep position rather than puttin pressure on the ball. If that wasn't a tactical decision, that's the players saying * the manager. Players looked too frustrated for that to be the case for me though.

    Agreed. What the * was that about? Every time they were running at us we just kept backing off. Even Tierney looked like he was off message when he decided to put a * tackle in.

    Fitness needs to improve, in the second half there was a marked difference in him covering the full back and then disappearing as the half wore on.

    He is only young though, players miss those opportunities all the time, thought he was one of our best players in the first half. The criticism is well over the top.

    He was our most creative player in the first half half

    Was definitely tactical to me, look when their defence got the ball, we sat right off and invited them on. The * is that about?

    This was doing my nut in, it was a bunch of big donkeys slowly passing the ball between themselves while we just stood & watched them, any pressure they would've crumbled & gave it away

    Pressure for 5/10 minutes after the second half kicked off, scored, sat back off.

    Yeah i thought even 1-0 down we would steamroller them when we got our * in gear, we did for 5/10 mins and it looked as though it was gonna happen........and then they just * gave up
