Thought that was a very poor performance.
In the first half we seemed to have Considine as a centre back and McKenna as the left back. That was certainly the wrong way around and we seemed to revert to Considine as left back in the second half.
For a team with a lot of goals in it we don't score many. I think the reasons are simple and correctable.
Today we played one wide player with Christie sort of filling in as the other. When Christie plays through the middle behind the striker(s) he scores goals, but when he plays wide he doesn't mostly. We need two wide players and Christie in the middle.
When May plays he is mostly wide and from there he has very few shooting opportunities. I would also like to see May on the end of crosses and corners not taking them.
We are playing far too many long balls out of defence when one of our great strengths is running with the ball. We need to play to our strengths not the oppositions. We need to play a system where we run at the opposition not run a little and then get rid of the ball to anyone rather than take some responsibility and try to get into the box.
I felt today our midfield gave them too much space, we were basically outworked in midfield. They were getting to second balls because they were trying to to a much greater degree than we were, and in the end that prevented us from playing to a great extent.
We can do much better both in effort and tactically, and if we have any ambitions we really need to do so.
