I actually don't think it was all that bad a game.
We were well on top for long phases... and has some absolutely wonderful passing moves. For spells, we were actually a joy to watch.
Our problem is twofold and is obvious.
Up front, we miss the Tommohawk like nobody would have believed. This is a tragic bit of bad luck... but that said... Thommo is a class above anybody we could realistically expect to have at the club... and we need to prepare for life after him anyway!!!
Bigger problem is a long standing one... when we are so defensively fragile, we can have all the possession in the world and all the pretty passing movements out... but we can be cut open and destroyed by one simple pass.
Twice we were sucker punched when well on top.
It is to our credit that twice we fought back... but those defensive frailties have been glaringly obvious for how long now?
Full marks to McLean and McGinn who are starting to look like a midfield partnership that can function without a minder... our boys are growing up!!! Please get off their backs and encourage them....can you even begin to imagine life without them at present?!
Still wondering what on earth Caldwell has to do to get a run! He had a presence and a lot more effective movement when he came on. Ball is devoid of confidence... that was obvious in his missed sitter. Had he simply thrown himself in the direction of the ball I'm convinced it would have bounced off him and in... but he didn't want to hit it first time and misjudged the bounce completely... purely a confidence issue imo.
Ultimately a draw was right and fair... but what a lost opportunity.
