Curious, what would u have done?

I switched off when he brought Fyvie on. Knew it would be holding on from then. Negative as fuck from Neilson. Don't deserve to win anything with those tactics

Same as most others probably, not surprised when the equaliser went in after missing some decent chances.

And we did invite that on ourselves. Think Robbie was complaining about the goal which wasn't allowed in the second half, but he maybe should look closer to home.

Aye, and great admiration for the support which went up tonight.

If we lose to Ayr next Friday then we'll finish third. Win and we probably guarantee second. We've not even created a chance against Ayr this season though.

Yeah, I'd have put Nesbitt on for Mcmullan. He'd worked his arse off and was fucked.

Imo nesbitt is honking far to light weight and wouldn’t have effected the game but we’ll never no

One of the most frustrating things about tonight is for about an hour or so that's the best we've played for a good while (well that and Dunfermline away recently). My player ratings FWIW.

Siegrest - Actually thought he played well tonight overall. Made a good early low block when Armstrong put in a wicked low cross that could have went anywhere. He also got Connolly out of jail when he let Brian Graham in, coming out big and early to put him off. He also made a lot of good takes from their crosees. But then right at the death he never covered himself in glory at their goal. Though he wasn't the only one. 6/10

Watson - Was solid enough. Didn't see anything wrong with his chopped off goal. Looked like a County player who actually knocked into their keeper more than any of our players. 6/10

Reynolds - Didn't have much to do. Was solid enough. 6/10

Connolly - Was a bit shaky once or twice. Generally solid enough, but always seems to have a 'moment' in every game where he switches off or shows indecision. Nearly cost us when he dithered to let Brian Graham in. 5/10

Robson - Again, was generally 'ok', but much like Connolly always seems to have a 'moment' in him when he plays in the back 4. Badly misjudged the bounce of a ball late'ish on and it nearly cost us. 6/10

Harkes - Thought he was very good in patches tonight. Lovely pass through to Safranko for our goal. He tired a bit in the 2nd half (like many others). 6/10

Butcher - Did pretty well tonight. Won some good challenges, put himself about physically well and tried to get us forward too at times. 6/10

Pawlett - 1st half was absolutely superb. Miles ahead of everyone else on the pitch in fact. Should have buried his chance from about 6 yards out though. We score that we win. Thought he tired badly after about an hour. 7/10

Clark - Put in a good shift but he's wasted in the No.10 role and the game passed him by for me by and large. Best finisher at Tannadice. Play him upfront.5/10

Safranko - Playing out in left midfield ,again, isn't really his position, but he tried hard (as always to be fair too him). I said before I felt pav was a bit 'one-dimensional' and not the type of Forward who can play-off the shoulder of an opposition defender,run through on goal and finish. Well he went a wee way to proving me wrong tonight with a superb finish. More of this please. Still think his 1st touch and general link-up play is quite poor. If he can improve in this aspect of his play moving forward however then i could be persuaded that we should spend a couple of hundred thousand for him (which is surely what it would take?). 6/10

McMullan - Tell ya what, I thought he was terrific for us tonight. I questioned just yesterday that moving forward is he the type of player we need to make the step-up ? Time will tell but if he puts in the effort of tonight, aided with real pace and trickery then he most certainly can have a future with us. Superb link-up with Pawlett in the 1st half. Lovely wee pass for him that Pawlett should have scored. McMullan himself should have hit the target with the chance he had centrally from about 12 yards out. Very unlucky with his shot that hit the post though. Wee man ran himself into the ground tonight (literally) and Neilson should probably have subbed him off about 10 minutes earlier. As it is he hobbled off. If/when we confirm 2nd place we need to wrap him up in cotton wool, going by tonight's performance. 8/10

Matty Smith - Offered nothing - 1/10

Fraser Fyvie - Chased shadows. Looks miles off the pace these days, even from the bench 1/10

Morgaro Gomis - See above 1/10

As said above, Neilson's subs were poor and ended up costing us. We were bossing every aspect of the game when he decided to go really defensive and try and hang-on to 1-0. It just invited them to come forward and shell it into our box. Very negative. Nesbitt's not great but to have him on the bench and not even give him 10 minutes. Well, it all just seems very negative. We had no out-ball at the end. No one we could hit it out wide too.

p.s. wtf did 6 minutes come from? Absolute bullshit.

The subbies had no effect on the game good or bad.

Totally disagree with you on that one Beharder.

We were up against a side that were playing their 3rd game in 6 days, and looked 'leggy' all-night long as a consequence.

Our decision to no longer run at them and instead sit back invited them (as a team) to all push forward.

Apart from anything else bringing Fyvie on is like playing with ten men these days.
 

....and RN gave up any chance of getting that 2nd goal when he brought on Fyvie

IMO

Fyvie has been struggling for fitness since his injury. The last few times he has come on he has been poor. There seems now to be a bit of hysteria around him. He was our best player until the injury, is the club captain, now he is been talked of as a Barton or Rabbitsch.

The only 'hysteria' seems to be from people taking umbrage at any perceived criticism of him.

He's miles off it. Not sure how anyone can disagree with that tbh.

I did not turn my tv off and think why did he bring Fyvie on, Gomis on the bench before Stanton dont agree with that one. Gomis should definately have done better at the goal.
Its all about results but to repeat myself we have a decent chance in the playoffs. Need to keep behind the team.

I can only assume Stanton has a knock. 

And, Gomis was pathetic at their goal. As much to blame as Siegrest.
