    Had a laugh at this. Is it just me or when away the opposition fans shot "you fat bastard" as he takes a goalkick?

    I wouldn’t necessarily blame O’Nien but instead I’d blame our style of play (in those situations) - we seem obsessed with retaining possession/clearing the ball to an opponent with a cleave header/chest/flick rather than do the basics. O’Nien could and should have dealt with the ball better.

    however. Patterson? **** me, absolutely dreadful, 2 own goals in the space of 4 home games. He is mid table Championship at best and we need better regardless of what division we are in next season.

    Too much respect for the opposition , if we were serious about getting in the automatic places we can’t afford to not set up with more attacking intent . I don’t think RLB likes to change things very much whether it’s in team selection or substitutes but he talks about getting injured players back but then chooses not to use them which I find strange . Today was a very poor performance and we desperately need to get back to winning ways quickly , the booing at the end showed the frustration got to some of the supporters which was a bit understandable given the poor level of the side .

    Yeah. Was disappointed he didn't rotate. I get to that Rigg offers something in the press that maybe Browne doesn't but the kid is shot to bits and needs resting. Le Fee was very poor today too

    Aye. Too many good players to not change it in my opinion. We can’t whinge about having no squad depth for years then refuse to use it when we actually have it and things are going wrong.

    Wonder if we're missing Dodds?

    Just got on the Edinburgh train home and reflecting on the day. There were some positives to take out of all this. I met TopCat and Dave_39 and I have a lovely bottle of Australian Chardonnay waiting for me.

    Should have sold these players and bought a tall defender and striker. better get the 15 points need for 4th and then go from there i would bring reserve players in now. Yep and back to the dodds football again.

    Can’t believe how utterly pathetic we were today, back to front.

    First time I’ve watched us this season and thought what are we doing and what is the game plan?

    We pressed high first 10 mins but let Hull take control of the game, we deserved nothing.

    Indeed. Still think Wilson and Jobes headers were easier

    The Jobe one was unforgivable, Wilson should’ve headed it back to the other side.
