Sure, we have injury problems up front, but these are worrying times. The games against Kilmarnock and St. Johnstone were winnable. Instead, we haven't even managed to conjure up a point and have produced two poor performances, with chances at a premium.
Danny Lennon rang the changes, with David van Zanten, Nick Hegarty, Sean Lynch and Steven Robb all starting. Out went Garry Brady, Steven Thomson, Marc McAusland and the suspended Paul McGowan.
With so many team changes, and just one striker up front, it was important we didn't lose an early goal - so Andy Jackson putting the Saintees in front after just three minutes was the worst possible start. Things got worse half an hour later when a fine Sam Parkin header doubled their advantage.
A few minutes later we were back in it, Lynch managing his second goal of the season with a deflected effort. It turned out to be our only attempt on target, although Darren McGregor did head over in second half stoppage time as we nearly snatched an undeserved point.
The last two weeks have been nowhere near good enough and you have to question a manager who fields one striker, has none on the bench and makes his one and only change in the last 10 minutes. As The Who once sang, meet the new boss - same as the old boss...
