Shades of Glassball tonight, nice to see us play it on the deck but there was no cutting edge and we played at a pedestrian tempo. A sloppy goal conceded thrown in for good measure. Dante played the Funso Ojo role.
Miovski was up on his own against three big defenders. Sokler came on to rectify this but I don’t recall him touching the ball aside from his headed chance. Surely Duk would’ve been the better option.
Fair play for switching from the back five but we’ve now got five central midfielders shoehorned in the team and the full backs can’t offer as much as they have less cover behind them. We went too far the other way after the subs too. Shinnie (MOTM tonight) and Clarkson left with too much ground to cover.
Diving aside, Ruby had one of his better games for us but Gartenmann was horrendous. I couldn’t believe how many times he gave the ball away and better forwards would’ve punished us for it.
Saints were dogged and we were never going to break them down playing that way. Levein will grind out enough results to get them to safety imo. As for us, we’ll be doing well to get 5th.
