    Campbell in games like that where you need to put a foot on the ball and play is no good. Pittodrie and Tynecastle where it’s a fight, it’s trying to get on the end of things is fine. We so badly need a bit of creativity.
    Even just switching Campbell and Hoilett today would have made more sense.

    Today, IMO, confirms we need more creativity and energy in midfield. Newell and Triantis are solid and have been good in the last few games, but we need better. The back-ups are poor. I hope we're going to address that in this transfer window.
    Yesterday proves how important Newell is if anything. We’d have had a much better foothold on the game first half if he’d been playing, missed him massively

    I thought Nicky cadden might have got moved to the ten position at one point. Great striker of the ball.

    Some of the shooting yesterday was woeful. Bad pitch or not, Triantis took a shot from a ridiculous angle.

    Couple of signings and I think we’re not far away from a push to challenge a mediocre Dundee United / Aberdeen.

    Yesterday back-up midfield's display just reiterated what has been evident for a while IMO that we desperately need reinforcements that are better than current.

    I really rate Triantis and Newell is okay, but the back-up after that is poor. Kwon has been disappointing and that's been kind. Levitt just doesn't have the engine to play in our midfield, and looked as if he could be out for a wee while when he went down yesterday. I was disappointed in Amos yesterday when he came on. He's another who's been disappointing.

    I really hope we're looking to get in a couple of really good midfielders during this transfer window.

    I thought Amos was fine, as was Levitt

    I agree thought Amos was OK although if he wasn't ok against that level of opposition then that is a big problem. I was disappointed in Levitt. I thought he started off ok and was actually closing down the opposition but then he drifted out of the game and was rarely looking for the ball and was leaving it more to Kwon to try and create something.

    To move up a level we need a better quality midfield, and anywhere else we can bring better players in.

    Thought Levitt was a big part of our total lack of enthusiasm in the first half yesterday. Barely moved above walking pace and just very, very slow. Thought it was disappointing from him on the back of a decent performance last week, when he has been waiting for so long for an opportunity.

    Agreed, was a game for Levitt to really show something, but it was all just sideway passes with no urgency, and Kwon just looks so nervous on the ball, has a habit of making the wrong choices, had high hopes for him as well.

    It just shows you how good Triantis has been for us, without him, I don't think there is a very good midfield to be made with the players available.

    Totally agree. To say both Levitt and Amos were fine against a 6th tier team says it all. I'd want them to dominate. I honestly can't think of any moment when I thought "wow, that's good". Disappointed in both, along with Kwon.

    Something has clearly happened in between time thought he looked pretty good in earlier games however looks like his form has fallen off a cliff in between time. Suspect been injured or lost a bit of confidence who knows. Certainly been poor recently

    It was worth a punt for Celtic as he came for gratis when they signed another player.

    It was buy one, get Kwon free.

    I reckon confidence.

    Agreed he started fine and was decent at St Mirren. Probably doesn’t help being in and out the team.

    We only signed him because his Mum made our kit from 2017-2021.

    I quite liked those Ma Kwon kits.

    We're looking short in midfield for the Celtic game.

    With Manneh suspended, Kwon not available against parent club and Newell & Levitt possibly still injured, it's looking like it'll be Triantis and Moriah-Welsh as the midfield two with Campbell as No.10 with only Rudi as back-up.

    Are any of the Development squad ready for a step up, against the Champions?
