Today convinced me that Hayes is done. I would rather play a young upcoming player in his position for the remaining games. I'm presuming McKenzie is injured as I noticed he wasn't on the bench? Ramsay was excellent on the right today, hope it's a quick recovery from the knock he picked up. 

He was cup tied

But he absolutely should come in for the remaining league games

[super_al]

What a difference (in a bad way) it made to the team when Ramsey went off.

He was a positive in a poor performance.

Hendry worth keeping?  Even as a squad player? 

Doesn't do much but only cunt that can score of late.

Happy enough with the young loons.  Plenty there for Brown to work with.

Glass is the manager 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Bang on from Mikey Stewart.  Not enough taking on on the wing (after Ramsay) and turning the defence.

No. He's garbage. 
 

Took his goal well today. 

[DelMonte]

Things are never as bad as they seem. Will be alright when the new management team come in hopefully.

It's been a long time since we stretched full backs and got in behind. 

Probably GMS's last season.

If we free Anderson, he probably wouldn't cost any more as a 3rd choice option. But for me it's one or the other. If Anderson signs a new contract then Hendry can go back to St J

Why the fk would we keep him rather than give Anderson a chance ?

Squad positions should be for our own players we develop rather than St Johnstones 4th choice shite. That would be just like signing Main again

[Dynamo]

Ramsay looks like an excellent prospect.

Looks like he should have had some game time before today, 

The senior players need to give themselves a shake. Very poor from likes of Hayes and Hoban

Ah right, that explains it. Good to have a couple or decent prospects in the full back positions at least. Will be interesting to see how they perform against the scum, if given the chance and staying injury free.

I said that might be a problem on day 1.

no I specifically meant McRorie, Ross, Ferguson and Campbell.  He should be all over video analysis of today.

whereas Hayes, Kamberi arguably McGinn ... no point.

I fucking well hope our bar will be set higher than that two

New manager bounce as well ?

[Zeus]

Anderson is nae good enough unfortunately 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Joe Lewis.  Not a captains voice.

How much cash do you think we can spend on strikers? We aren’t going to sign four new strikers I doubt.

fk Hendry but Anderson for sure should be offered another year to see if he can prove himself 

[donswin1983]

Central defence was poor. They should’ve scored.

Really want Campbell to do well, but the pace of that game is on his shoulders, given the role he plays. So many touches, tidy moving it sideways and backwards and when he does try to be positive, his distribution is/was terrible.

assuming Dylan M on the bench, he must show nothing in training.

anyway, we won, which aside from the young loon at right back and a tidy finish from Hendrie is the only positive.

[alscotoz]

Liked the look of Ross. Prepared to run at his opponent and try different things. Of course, very encouraging from Ramsay and thought Campbell should have upped the tempo because he seemed to be running the show.

Exactly. 

We need more than a goal every now and again from our strikers.  The only reason these two are getting a shout out is because all our strikers have been terrible. 

Fresh start needed on the attacking areas.  Including the wide players. 

[Sheepo]

Campbell didn't play well but the 2 alongside him were horrendous both went missing and I honestly thought McCrorie was going to be hauled off for Hendry but wasn't. Glass will struggle to get rid of dross like Kennedy as who is going to take him. Big job for our new management team to sort this mess out

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Campbell took the ball which is A LOT more than some.  There’s more than enough to work with.

The question we should (and do) dare to ask is why the fuck are we left with a relatively untried 20yo in the anchor role. 
 

I would have loved to have seen Brown on there daring Hayes, Kamberi, Kennedy and McLennan to hide and be as wasteful as they were.

I'd play him there for the rest of the season. Good experience.

[Big Hat Logan]

What a fantastic game. Isn’t a real delight to see the players now performing to the best of their ability now they are free from the shackles of McInnes.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

And I was being very generous leaving McGinn out of the list.

Of the quality players we have left, yes.

[Matt Armstrong's Dog]

Ethan Ross, Calvin Ramsay, Joe Lewis (apart from his brain freeze moment) and Callum Hendry were the only ones to get pass marks. 

I would get Callum Hendry signed up on a 2 year deal. He's decent.

Brown hasn’t done that all season at a woefully performing Celtic so unsure why you think he would do it here.

Precisely. A fuckload of senior players have been swinging a leg since January. 

I'd think McInnes knew he was fucked after seeing zero testicles when his job was on the line around the time of thoan hibs game
