Camara didn't look fit at all. He could barely move.

1-0 Utd Moeller

Read a lot of comments putting Saturday down as a bad day at the office. Personally, it's not a phrase I like since it allows people to avoid taking responsibility for the result and performance. I think there are always things players, manager and fans could have done better.

The atmosphere was flat all game, people appeared to turn up expecting us to roll them over (me included). I've lost count of how many Utd games where this scenario has played out the the next game after a good performance. We needed the atmosphere to replicate Tuesday.

The manager's changes were wrong for me. He needs to switch Fatah & Dolcek if they are getting no joy as inverted wingers rather than sub them. Sapsford was poor, should have been off for Moeller & we could try some crosses into him. Instead of punts from chs or full backs 30 yards out.

Finally, not for the first time v Killie we saw some players go into their shells when things weren't going their way and Killie started mixing it. That LeBron James haddy up front was leaving boots in all game, not once did anyone go through him.

Similarly, David Watson (who is everything we need to start aiming for with our academy players) was getting tore in all over the pitch, not once did anyone actually give him anything back.

Was it it right to say we could have played all night and not scored? Not really. You knew the penalty was getting missed, not because of this, but because Sapsford looked pretty dejected all game. Strange to allow him to take it. If we score I reckon we'd have got something.

Bad day at the office? The proof will be in the pudding next week. Make no mistake, they will play EXACTLY the same way as Killie with the ball launched to Muirhead & Yengi up front & Pittman in midfield under orders to smash anything that moves. We need to show we can handle it.

I'd be tempted to bring Strain back to rb and put Luca in midfield. Probably revert to back 4 as well. Think someone needs to explain to some of the players tha

2-1 Utd

Kuchernko actually pushes Vicko which causes him to lift his arm. Now way could he deliberately react like they are saying in real time. The whole thing is a joke.

But it won't be overturned because of... reasons.

I remember that game, in fairness Donaldson was just on and Paul Dixon inexplicably threw the ball right across the park at about waist height at him. Jamie Robson played all the other games in that run and Dixon come in and played and was pretty crap.
