So true what they say about supporters being fickle. A bit of perspective needed folks
1) People saying Kent been honking for weeks. He had 2 assists vs Aberdeen and was brilliant he did have a bad game yesterday but he offers a lot to team even if not scoring or assists yes he could do better but he ain't honking
2) People saying drop Hagi and Aribo and what replace them with barker and Stewart give me peace. If we had arfield and Roofe fine that would make sense. Don't forget these two same players were instrumental coming off the bench to beat Motherwell at Ibrox
3) 15 wins in a row and then a single draw and now we are danger of crumbling come on! We didn't lose any ground this weekend
4) Change formation to a 4-4-2 ok when we only have Kent as a winger and apparently he should be dropped. Nothing wrong with formation
One thing I think we maybe could have done in hindsight was to play similar to how we did against Kilmarnock on their plastic pitch given SG said they knew in advance that the pitch was in a bad condition. A lot of our technical players struggled controlling the ball. I think playing Itten and maybe having a midfield with one holding player and two players who hunt down second balls. Our midfield against Kili away was Jack, Aribo and Arfield and Itten played out wide. If you recall we played very direct that day to good affect I felt yesterday a similar tactic might have worked better.

Good post but to get the best from Kent he needs compotition for a Jersey. Stewart and Barker aren't bad players and should have been used more this season to keep their eye in for when we do need to use them.

Good post BRW, I think when Wright signs, play him wide on the right, with Kent wide on the left, and Itten leading the line, that would put more pressure on the opposing full backs, just an opinion, but I agree we are seeing a total overreaction to a draw.

good post brw. even tav and barasic was doing cut backs instead of first time crosses until our goal and the last 5 minutes. even davis was caught on his heels a couple of times and the defence had a flat footed moment. its done and no real disaster. expecting rebound.

Great post BRW. For some . Kent and Aribo should stilll be showing silky skills on a tattie field . not that simple me thinks 🤔.
