That was Scott Allan. 100%
I'd wonder why McGinn was left 2v1 again and again. Easy to defend a back post if you stop the cross
Still waiting on our 7 ft tall goalie to come out and take a contested cross inside the 6 yard box as well. We deserved what we got today. If we gave any ambition to be up the top constantly we should be playing these games out not wasting time and hanging on for a 2.1 against St mirror at home.
Will we learn from this? Will we f×××! Same old same old.
What do we do in training?
Goal was coming. We didnt really have a midfield during the last 10mins or so. Back 5 with 3 players pretty much sitting on top of them and a terrible 2 for defensive work rate left further up (Nisbet and Allan have poor defensive workrates, really miss Doidge).
St Mirren could get 10-15yards into our half before they were closed down. We always lose goals at critical point in games when this happens. Goes as far back as I can remember.
I'd love to see them on the training pitch and see what they're doing re stopping goals like this, happening all too often.
Same here. I grew up seeing keepers come for everything near te 6yd box - especially tall ones. Then you had some who'd stay on their line and stop shots, leaving the defenders to deal with crosses.
I don't know what modern keepers, especially ours, are meant to do in these situations.
Would like to see it again, but whoever was at fault today we keep
losing the same type of goal - cross from the right badly defended by the left side of our defence.
So far it's Doigs fault, McGinns fault, Allans fault n the goalie's fault!
How about we accept the team never a) held onto the lead or b) scored a third to put it behind reach and give the finger pointing a rest eh
We got what we deserved today which was 1 point
The amount of crosses that came into our box in the last 20 mins was ridiculous.

Where did the boy pass it from though? One player passing to another doesn’t automatically equal a two on one.
I might change my mind when I see it back but, at the time, it never occurred to me that there was another player running past the boy who crossed it or anything like that.
The number of free headers we allow for goals really is ridiculous. Same goal over and over obviously Shangnessy is good at heading the ball but surely we should be managing a challenge. No one attacking the ball at all.
I'd have to watch it back but my initial reaction was that it wasn't Doig's fault so not sure why we have a thread on him. The header comes from on or inside the 6 yard box and very central so centre halves and/or keeper at fault there for me.
Why we always looking to blame someone, whole team were off today, bad day at the office. Doig ran that whole left side himself today, he needs more help on the left...
Don't think our management team did a great job tbh. When have we ever scraped a win at ER by bringing on more defensive reinforcements? It's very rare, it encourages us to become deeper even though we are already setup to counter attack.
I saw Samson and Potter giving Scott Allan some bizarre instructions as well. At one set piece he was told to stay forward and then told to stay with Erhahon to finally be told to not go so deep...even though he was tracking Erhahon.
As a team, with our management, we invited them to score that equaliser. Happens too often at ER.
