    HT 1-0 Diamond and Bass only ones trying to impress the rest are sleepwalking through a shocking first half display.

    Just a really poor game of football, 1 moment of quality has separated the teams

    Enjoyed the first 45 minutes… but only because I was getting a lovely foot spa whilst watching it. Football was crap. Only one player trying to make Alex Neil think about him. Even Embleton has looked like a poor league 1 player.

    The lack of a proper striker surely won't be helping tonight.

    Think the biggest issue is no one is controlling the tempo and getting the ball into the forwards feet quickly enough

    I'm not saying he's played well, once again I'm saying he was as good as anyone else apart from Diamond. When the whole team is playing this badly as a group I don't believe in singling out individuals for harsh criticism.

    Diamond has multiple facets to his general game and he sparkles around the box.

    True but taking that elbow without complaint shows he is a 10 on the hardness scale.

    horrible first half the 'senior' players need to start showing themselves, passing has been woeful, movement pathetic.

    hume has the beating of their right back yet they are not even trying to get down that side with any speed, diamond is trying but he needs some help here.

    as i said, the likes of embo, onien, roberts and winnie (if they come out 2nd half) really need to take hold of the game and help the rest, basically playing like a side that has not had a game together in anger and on this showing, wont be having another.

    Disappointed with this given that he wants them to play their way into the team for Saturday. Rockets should be going off in our dressing room and Neil shouldn't have to say a word tbf. Players should be doing the talk themselves.

    I think Winny ducked out of the way of it , the keeper had no chance.
