  1. I guess you can't argue with results, but in a lot of those games where we "shut up shop", we really didn't. We had Kelly making great saves, and a fair amount of luck too. We can be the absolute best at defending set pieces and crosses (we aren't), but if you let teams fire in crosses at will and have 17 corners, the odds aren't going to be in your favour.

    This has been the case since GA came in, so it is definitely a tactic. Are there other teams that do this? What is the theoretical advantage of doing this?

  2. We did "successfully" defend the other 90 corners/crosses, so they were going to get one at some point. Should look good in the stats. Our xG must have took a kicking though.

    If this is going to be a Gannon situation of sticking to a style of play regardless until it becomes unsustainable, I hope there's a Jennings and Humphrey in there. 

    It is still early and stuff, and Alexander did a good job keeping us up and some, so I'm not quite at the drinking straight out of a jack Daniel's bottle at 9am stage, but I might have a decision to make when my current stash of death wish coffee runs out.

    A random question away from our new Algerian superstar.

    Can anyone remember who it was Bob Malcolm scored against with his baws? I can’t find anything about it on the internet.

    St Mirren? I was definitely there, but can't remember how he scored. Think his other goal was a long range or a free kick.
