Keeper at fault to a lesser and greater extent for both goals

Absolutely fuming with the keeper at the time for the second goal but there are others to blame. 

Levein for one for leaving Sidibeh on the park. 

Also... The incredible sitter that was missed in the first half.

Raymond miss the game changer, in retrospect, but that happens every so often and at 0-0 the games still there.

Raes mistakes ended any chance of a point. Simply has to get another keeper in if Sinclair isn't trusted.

Sidibeh out for a game, or multiple dependent on how they view the punch, might be a blessing for everyone.

Just the two red cards for Adama Sidibeh, the two yellows and got another one for violent conduct for giving Holt a punch in the stomach. 
 

Idiot.

Levein should have already known we needed another goalkeeper but if he didn’t before then hopefully that’s clear for him now. 
 

The midfield wasn’t good enough on the ball today and we got out fought by a pretty poor United team who although weren’t great looked more street wise than we did.  
 

Sprangler would have made a difference in the middle of the park in a game like that IMO.

Does feel like GK is now the pressing need, again.

Like we could probably get by with the CB options we have, and CM too, but if Raes going to ship a goal at least one goal every few weeks then we're doomed.

2 red for Sidibeh is super frustrating as the next run of games is where we need to pick up points.
 

However it does give a chance to Kirk or Clark to show why they should be in the team. 

I wouldn't mind replacing Sidibeh with Keltjens or Sprangler tbh.

Kimpioka on his own up front, push Wright up to RW, Carey at LW. Then you either have Keltjens or Neilson at RB (with Sprangler into CM) dependent on what route you choose.

Thought Neilson was miles off it as well. 

In midfield he looked very much out his depth then when they moved into the back three after United scored he looked in possession anyway like a raffle prize winner in a charity game. 

Levein and co's decision making in game certainly leaves a lot to be desired as well. 

Moving to the back three after United scored 🤷‍♂️

The change to being on Clark after we scored leaving us even more exposed in midfield 🤷‍♂️

Leaving Sidibeh on and only making changes as a reaction when conceding. 

Not seen the Sidibeh incident again but didn't look like the initial second yellow had anything in it. Bbc reporting the first was for a stupid handball? 🤦‍♂️

Yeah first was daft. Run between CB and keeper chasing a high ball, keeper goes up to collect it so he jumped and punched it over him.

Second yellow was a dive, but his reaction after was a red and also suggested his head was away anyway.

Silly stuff and he'll miss at least 4 games by the sounds of things.

And I agree re the midfield. Carey is only really useful off the left, he's not a deep lying midfielder. Macpherson isn't good enough, Essel is extremely raw and Sprangler quite clearly isn't fancied. 
 

Edit: don't get me started on Connor Smith and we know Kucheriavyi is available for loan.

Really need a composed midfielder and if he can get about the pitch too it would be a bonus. Levein on radio saying he wants another central defender but if it’s down to finances I’d gamble on what we have knowing Kjeltens and Essel can cover there if necessary. A new goalie is an absolute must. Another left back needed too as Raymond has at least 3bookings already and we dont have a backup if he gets injured or suspended.

Made the mistake of listening to Radio Scotland on way back from game. Willie Miller is an absolute walloper. Did a Saints player shag his missus and wipe his cock on the curtains because he certainly seems to have an irrational dislike of us.
