Ogren is a big part of the problem. The budget this season was seemingly much lower than people think (11th in the league I think) and the backing was poor in January yet again. Goodwin's been hamstrung by this. This needs to change in the summer.
Heard similar,
For instance, Dalby on £1600pw at Wrexham.
We got all those goals for (I assume) £800pw

HT 0-1
45 minutes of utter garbage. Lucky it's not 0-3.
I could type several paragraphs about how garbage that first half was but one is enough.

Woeful, squad looks done.
Defensively horrendous again

An unforgivable shocking performance from the manager and players.
Lucky it wasn't 5.
An absolute disgrace.
I don't think Goodwin can coach a team to play football

Fucking angry as fuck with that! Don't even know where to start but if I hear the same shite trotted out by manager and players this week they can all fuck off! Nowhere near good enough,nowhere fucking near!

I honestly cannot f*cking believe we are about to blow a 9 point lead over st mirren, honest to fuck United show some fucking pride! Fucking embarrassing these last 3 games,absolutely disgraceful! Hang your shirts on the pegs and fuck off the lot of you!

Not angry with that, the squad makeup has simply caught up with us. Holt, Stephenson and Graham out, Gallagher not the only one playing through injuries, a midfield without Sevelj. Rough.
Team is a banger running on fumes.

That was really poor today. Worse still we yet again don't like we actually know how to attack when we need to chase a game or when we're expected to control the game.
I have defended Goodwin several times due to squad he has but some of the decisions I can't understand. For me SCH had to play today if he was fit, we should be avoiding playing Sevelj, or anyone else actually, out of position.
Trap wasn't particularly good, but I can't justify replacing him with Paton. We then stick on Moult which gives us 3 forwards in the middle but only Middleton to really create anything.
Abysmal today. Pass marks for Middleton who I thought at least last offered something and got us up the park today. Poor from the rest.

I defended Goodwin and the players last week because we were up against it away to arguably the 2nd best team in the country.
No such excuses today. That was pitiful.
Out-fought, out played and bullied tbh. Didn't see much of a fight put up by anyone in a tangerine shirt.
They looked like a team who have collectively clocked out for the season. Really poor stuff.
Ibrox could be a right sore one if they smell blood and realise we are a wounded animal.

St Mirren looked bigger, stronger, more mobile, more aggressive, and more up for the fight . All the ingredients required to win games in Scottish football.

There’s a real lack of fight when it’s against us.
There’s no Charlie Miller’s, Barry Robson’s, Lee Wilkies.
Fuck even Paul Paton or John Rankin’s within the squad that can dig the rest out of a hole.
Got (for example) Middleton just letting his man run unmarked, so many times.
We’ve chucked Europe. Goodwin is 0/8 post split fixtures and what a fucking laugh that is!

Not much to add really, most of it covered apart from some of the posts that single out certain players.
Every last one of them were off it again today, nae idea what the game plan was either.
Another Saturday for the third week running where we have been miles and miles off the required standard.
The only thing Goodwin got right was his aftermath assessment when he said the better team won.

I did spot one positive today.
The St mirren RB while chasing for the ball stepped in front of ( think) Trapanovski and collapsed.
McLean didn't give the usual standard free kick. Hopefully the start of a trend.
Should have booked him for diving though.

Was screaming for a booking. Cunt of a player, cunt of a ref.

Pathetic.
A disjointed & stretched squad on its knees.

That was loupin the day. The Midden looked the better side, and was getting worried they were gonna score 4 or 5.
Ok, there was a couple of sh1t decisions by the Officials. And it didna help that half their squad were 6 fut 9.
But seriously, we canna score 1 phuckin goal at Hame in front oe our ain supporters, against St phuckin Midden.
3 gehms post split, and not a phuckin point. 3rd place meh @rse.
Thoroughly p1ssed aff.

Do you know what is starting to piss me off a bit? The 'fatigue' excuse.
No club in Scottish Football has had more free weekends than United since the New Year.

Yeah me too, that post match interview is fucking shite tbh. Oh well we've done well to be where we are so let's not complain too much when we lose all 5 post split games again,blow a 9 point lead + healthy goal difference and blow European qualification, aye right Jim! It's fucking pathetic.

If that’s the case that they’re done in and only running on fumes they should be charging £2 on the gates and refunding us the amount back on our season tickets.
Loser mentality.

Our honeymoon period is well and truly over, I did not expect to win the game, cause I knew we didn't have it in us. Home should be an advantage, yet we're the worst team and the only ones who have a negative extra PPG from home games. Killie for one have +1.04, we have -0.03. The wheels have truly fallen aff.

They can both be true at the same time. We absolutely do look fatigued, carrying injuries.
Having said that there's a bench full of guys who get very little game time. They can't be fatigued and should have been rotated in more regularly.

We were shite, however, given how patched up, and off the pace we seemed, we still should've taken the lead, that Dalby header was exactly the chance you want and exactly who you want it to fall to.
Maybe the game plays out the same, but we'd have taken confidence from it, maybe won, maybe only drew.
Not blaming Dalby for the defeat, but it's mental that he could direct that header on target from a pish cross v Hearts, yet miss a bread and butter chance.
Also, the lazy lumps into the box and constant long throws were pointless and never looked like working, Ferry is obviously told to go on throws and I can excuse him for the lumps, he looks fucked, he's playing through the pain.
Very few if any got pass marks yesterday, Docherty isn't gonna be reliable, Sibbald isn't good enough and Manny is still the bombscare that often comes up with the odd plum moment.
Middleton though, bar the cross for Dalby above, it was lazy clipped balls every time, taking no responsibility, there's folk who say he just needs an arm around the shoulder, needs re-assured, well let him do it at St Johnstone or fucking Kelty Hearts.
The manager is not escaping here either, the midfield was pish yesterday, constantly getting overrun, if Harding was fit enough for the bench, he was fit enough to start and it he wasn't able to last or had to come off early, that's when you move Sevelj back there, we lose so much of what we're about when he's not in there.
Rant over......now for a positive moment.
Aberdeen's tanking today set us up for a 90 minute shoot-out on Saturday, I don't expect St Mirren to beat Hibs or take any points v Celtic, so I'm still expecting 5th, but all we need is 1 more 90 minutes, one last performance, from guys who for the most part of the season ran through brick walls and never gave up.
Mon United, into these sheep shagging bastards!
