I swore after Ross Co, Dundee and Hibs I was done with away games. At 2.50 withdrawal symptoms set in and I paid £17.50 to watch one of the worst games of football imaginable. No creativity, no finesse or skill. Two bad teams with one worldy shot that won it. I would regard myself as a happy clapper but that was unacceptable. I really fear that if we do not make the top six we will end up in the play off. A couple more defeats and we could be only five or six points in front of St Johnstone at the start of the run in.
The problems seem to stem from January. Watt was a big loss as he got us up the park holding the ball and buying fouls. Combine his loss with the players who came in. Roberts was poor before. What is the point of Shaw, and Tierney looks like someone's son playing in his dad's testimonial.
Team selections are strange. Woolery did well at Ibrox but has been on the bench since. Slattery was a star before Xmas but has disappeared. Playing five at the back against Hibs was a change that I thought might work but not to have O'Donnell and Carroll's the wing backs was wrong McGinley and Mugabe are basically defenders. Admittedly that didn't work too well on Saturday. Then on Saturday only two midfielders, Donnelly and a rookie, Cornelius, just made it clear we were going to hoof it and miss out the midfield.
I thought Alexander was great booking but I am now having severe doubts.
