Can you decide if it's a daft question, or an insightful one for me?
The immediate analogue I can draw is we had a very limited team under Jim Goodwin. We reverted to personnel and formations that kept us tight. We won 2 of the opening 9 games against the bottom two yet after took at least a point in every game except against Ayr and Raith.
Held onto January when we signed Kirkpatrick and Stewart and the rest is history but without the pragmatic approach Goodwin would've been out before he turned around that team.
