Match Aftermath: St Johnstone 2 - 1 Dundee

[TheDarkBlues]

Dundee's losing streak continues with a 2 - 0 defeat away from home to St Johnstone. Less said about this performance the better.

St Johnstone 2 - 1 Dundee

Sorry, but that was one of the worst performances that I have seen in a long time. I used to believe that PH was the man to take us forward, but my views have now changed.

How the hell Yordi stayed on the pitch I will never know.

[Ivan Drago]

Absolutely dire im afraid. 

Such little attacking threat its frightening. Sorry to Labour the point but Yordi is beyond sh**e. He gives his all but isn't good enough. 

Im now deeply concerned for our place in the league. Can't see where the next win is coming from. 

Zero creativity, zero goal threat and porous at the back. Relegation stuff

I'm now extremely worried. The back 3 looked slow all game, was only a matter of time before we gave a penalty away. Williams contributed absolutely nothing, he spent the 90 minutes giving Holt little 3 yard passes so Holt could launch it up the park. Vincent is no where near good enough, looks slow and gives ball away more often than not.

We have no width, our strikers do not look like scoring and we look like conceding every time a ball is played into our box.

This team will take us down playing like that.

I cannot see where the next point is coming from, let alone the next win. I liked Hartley but enough is enough. We're miles off course now and this team has fundamental flws that even a change in manager cannot fix. Hartley has built a team of mediocre midfielders and toothless strikers. We play terrible football and the board need to draw a line in the sand. We either make a change now or make a change in January when we are isolated at the bottom. I can't see the point in sticking with him unitl January given that this is virtually impossible to turn around with these players.. Even Mourinho couldn't make winners out of this team. A new manager will need to  freedom to clear the decks and bring in players.

I said if we didn't beat Killie we'd end up bottom because we could easily lose the next five. Unfortunately, that has happened and put us under a bit of pressure. We simply have to do well in the next three fixtures against Partick, Hamilton and Motherwell. If we don't turn things around before the international break, the board might need to act.

Cobra, at the time everyone on here was telling us that Killie and Hamilton weren't must win games. Had we taken 4 more points from those two games we'd be where we should be at the moment. Wednesday is another must win game. Any team that is going to be around us in the bottom 6 at home is a must win.

There is no might about it. 

If we don't turn things round by then they have to act. 

Hartley is done stick a fork in him and lets move on

Several posters on here were saying that we would be bottom of the league come the end of October when we had played 11 games and a quarter of the season done, and here we are. We look no closer to being a decent side than when we got pumped out the cup by East Fife and Peterhead because "the season came too early". Get shot of this clown now before it's too late.

Totally inept second half performance against a bang average St Johnstone team.

How Williams gets a start is beyond me. He never tries to beat a man and only ever plays a short pass backwards and then stands still. Hateley seems to still be unfit so we have two wing backs playing who will not attack down the flanks. They should be doing what Logan at Aberdeen or Wallace at Rangers are doing week in, week out. 

Why was Gadz dropped for this match? He was solid last week so if Hartley wants to bring O'Dea back he should have moved Holt to wing back to accommodate. When El Bak went off injured we were always going to struggle as he was the only one who looked an attacking threat but what was the thinking in bringing on Duffy? Rory Loy and Craig Wighton would have both been better options IMO.

I really felt that was a 'must win' game and can only see us being further cast adrift at the bottom now.

That was dire today really don't see where goals or a win is going to come from 

[sneddee]

really amateur stuff in the second half today. why couldn't we have played like that at the start

the way we played in the last 15-20 mins of the game.
