Riordan 5

I would agree with this bar, Bamba. I would give him a 1 for that performance tonight. Couldn't pass wind, tackle a fish supper or win one header. Very very poor, and he thinks he could cut it down south. Head out the clouds son!

[hibee_girl]

Stack 4 - Looked very shaky tonight
McCormack 5 - Looked ok before getting subbed
Bamba 3 - had a god awful game, don't think he won one header all night
Murray 5 - not his best game
Hanlon 5 - again not his best game
Rankin 5 - had a few bad passes but made some important tackles
McBride 3 - awful
Wotherspoon 6 - didn't do anything too bad, moving him back to RB was a waste
Miller 5 - didn't do anything special
Deek 4 - missed a penatly and didn't do much else
Stokes 5 - Because he scored.

Yogi 2

Used subs at 1 - 1 until we had no defence

[Frazerbob]

Stack - few decent stops but the guy can not hold the ball and does not command his box at all.
McCormack - played reasonably but is not a RB IMO. Still a problem possition IMO.
Bamba - very poor tonight with a too many wayward passes. Didn't win nearly enough in the air.
Murray - looked very shakey tonight and very nervous on the ball. I would move him to left back.
Hanlon - had a shocker tonight. Badly at fault for the first goal.
Rankin - worst game for a while but, like the rest of the 3 man midfield, was always going to struggle against what was basically a 5 man Saints midfield.
McBride - decent in 1st half but was pissing againsy the wind in the 2nd.
Miller - 1st time I've seen him and thought he looked great in the first few minutes. Did nothing for the rest of the game though. Is he not supposed to be a winger?
Wotherspoon - wasted as the 3rd man in attack especially as Riordan and Stokes seem to play all night with each other and ignore him. Looked poor when moved back to RB. Much prefer him in midfield.
Stokes - looked our biggest threat up front and took is goal well. Poor service though from midfield. Why did he not take the penalty?
Riordan - one good run in the first half but otherwise poor. Very weak penalty again. why did he not take the free kick Rankin hit into the wall?

Yogi - why oh why did he not change to 4-4-2 when it was obvious from early in the match that or midfield was stuggling?

[BSEJVT]

Stack 4 Brave as a lion but very error prone (not another one!)

McCormack 5 Does okay, great cross/ shot for Goal,

Bamba 2 Awful, loses header after header, terrible passing.

Murray 4 Effected by the malaise around him

Hanlon 2 Didnt do one thing right all night

McBride 2 Touch was awful , continuously overran the ball

Miller 5 Not scared to take the ball in and try and make a pass

Rankin 3 Hopeless tonight

Wotherspoon 3 Didnt really do anything in midfield and badly at fault for both goals

Stokes 5 Scored and worked hard

Riordan 3 Poor penalty and then tried to shoot every time to make up for it

Yogi 1 Tactics and personnel deployment are becoming a real worry. Is he watching the same game as we are?

Nah I wont. Never done anything wrong that led to us losing goals he is just a **** keeper. Maka back in.

[Baldy Foghorn]

No pass marks for any player tonight, and a negative mark for Yogi, for not learning from Saturday, and making a total erse of tonight's tactics....

Please don't tell me Rankin was taking free kicks. God give me strength!

Have to agree with this.. He's not coming off his line and never shouted tonight. i thought Maka should at least be given a game tonight if he's not playing in the league.

I thought he was a decent keeper but tonight confirmed he was rubbish for me. Can't kick. Doesn't command. Won't leave his line.

He's ****.

Which was in prime Riordan possition.

[mcfly]

i have to disagree - he made a lot of good saves tonite and kept the score respectable.

he got no protection from the defence, and to bring back makalambay after some of the mistakes he's made in big games wouldnt be right on stack.

give him a chance.

[EVENTUALLY]

Stack - 3 Very poor. Started with sloppy kick which was almost blocked into the net, hesitant under cross or high balls, distribution very very slow, fumbled shot which led to a corner resulting in absymal defending of Saints third goal. Maka is a better keeper in my view.

McCormack - 6 Best of the back four.

Hanlon - 5 Slipped up to allow Saints in for their first goal although he steadied up.

Murray - 4 As bad a game as he has played in a long time.

Bamba -3 Shocking display. Marking poor,outjumped by Deucher time and time again, passing very careless. He is not a center half in a million years.

Wotherspoon - 4 Quiet throughout and struggled to make any impact.

Miller - 5 Started well and faded badly.

McBride - 4 Poorest game so far. Caught in possession by the hard working Saints midfielders too often.

Rankin - 3 Toss up between him and Bamba for worst performance of the night. He was terrible and created nothing.

Stokes - 7 Best Hibs player. Good goal, good movement and the most industrious Hibs player on the park

Riordan - 4 Poor. He has now missed 3 of his last 4 pens.

Zemmamma - 7 Played well when he came on and by simply increasing the tempo of the game provided some spark to the team. His trickery may just have unlocked the Saints defence if he had been on from the start or at least half time.

Galbraith - 5 Never got into the game.

Hughes - 3 Wrong substitutions. No plan B. Needs to install some physical presence to the midfield and get a center half who is a center half.

[GreenPJ]

Tonight's binary code-

Stack - 0 - Not commanding his box, must be a vampire and every team in the country now knows to lob the ball in the box and they have a greater than 50% chance of getting a shot on target if not a goal.

McCormack - 1 - Feel sorry for the lad, he is not an RB but is trying his hardest but does not have the natural comfort to run with the ball although today and Saturday he tried to make runs into the box but the passes never found him (generally cause they were pish as opposed to his run)

Bamba - 0 - For every silky drag back (not tonight) and elongated leg challenge there is a bambi on ice waiting to get out. Could not pass or win a header. At least any scouts there will probably delay recommending him for a while on that performance.

Murray - 0 - Better than Bambi, however, as captain he had a responsibility to try and rally the boys from their deep coma's and he did nothing so am afraid its zip.

Hanlon - 0 - Similar to McCormack, don't think he is a natural full back but tries, however, did not win headers and culpable for the first goal as well as woeful passing.

Miller - 0 - Did not do anything wrong, oh no sorry, did not do anything. Does not like the physical side of the game and his distribution was poor.

McBride - 0.5 - I appreciate this is a non binary score but thought he deserved something a little more than zip but his second half shambles did not justify a 1. Could this be the Falkirk McBride making his first appearance?

Rankin - 1 - Tried hard but delivered little.

Wotherspoon - 1 - See Rankin, nothing came off for him, however, when we are relying on a 19 year old to drive our team forward then we are in trouble.

Riordan - 0 - Drivel, the Riordan I hate. All that talent and did absolutely nothing all game and I am not even considering the penalty miss in giving that score.

Stokes - 01 - Gave him 1 for the goal but then would also give him 0 for the rest of his play. Too many times in the second half in particular Zemmama was in acres of space and he went himself or went looking for his drinking buddy.

Zemmama - does not get a score as its not in the binary range - the one very small positive.

Galbraith - 0 - did nothing although can't blame him, he was playing with huddies.

Yogi - 0 - Learnt nothing, should have given other players a chance, am slowly starting to panic.

Beer time.

[magnificent_seven]

A few OTT reactions, we were pish but we have been worse. That was the best Saints have played all season and it was 1-1 up to the 83rd minute!

Stack 6 - Kept us in the game in the first half

McCormack 5 - Done nothing of note

Bamba 4 - Poor day for Sol, but then again he is a midfielder

Murray 4 - Poor communication with Bamba at the back, and wasn't really vocal throughout the game considering he is team captain.

Hanlon 5 - A few good challenges but positioning at fault at points

McBride 4 - Worked hard but every 2nd touch was a tackle

Miller 5 - Some tidy pases but not enough. Still making it to match fitness remember.

Rankin 4 - Again worked hard but to no avail, poor deliveries from set pieces too.

Wotherspoon 5 - Didn't really do much tonight and was wasted at LB

Stokes 4 - Too greedy with the ball

Riordan 5 - Poor

Yogi 4 - Tactics were pretty dire.

Zemamma 7 - Should have started
Galbraith 6 - Didn't do too much, would have started with him too though

He made some good saves tonight. Spilled a few shots but I would hardly say he was pish. St Johnstone had 15 shots at goal.

Dropped the ball (again!!!!!) for the 3rd and cost us a the goal from the subsequent corner!

He doesn't look the part for me!

He dropped the ball too many times including spilling it for a corner before the 3rd.
I cannot for the life of me see what any one sees in this guy. Doesn't command his box. Won't come of his line when he should. And before any one starts, yes he is a good shot stopper but so was Andy McNeil and he got pelters for the same things Stack is now doing.
