At this moment in time, I don't think the issue is with our players, it is with our system. Teams know that we are going to play it out from the back, and so they press high, we struggle to get the ball past the press and give away cheap goals. Yesterday we were much more direct, by-passing the press and getting the ball up the field quicker, and were having decent success with getting possession due to the fact that Livi were pressing high. When opponents finally realise that we are not playing it out from the back, they will drop off, at which point we can return to playing it out from the back.

 

Regarding players, I am surprised that nobody has mentioned our keepers, both seem to be decent shot-stoppers, but I thought that Johnson looked very weak with crosses yesterday, and I felt similarly with Wright when he played earlier in the season. I am yet to be won over by Reid, whilst admitting he had his best game for us against Livi, actually getting to the ball with his head rather than the middle of his back, but I feel that he still has a long way to go. Very impressed though with MacDonald, GavGal, and Thomas though.

Maybe I've missed something,who is Thomas,,??

Seems the pen might have a wee bit of ink remaining according to the rumour mill
