The Manager's decision to pick 3 central midfielders and go 4-3-1-2 was exactly what was required.
In dire conditions we dug deep today - dominated midfield, restricted Livvy to very few attempts at goal and fully merited our win.
I have said repeatedly that this 4-2-3-1 formation has held us back big time and I am convinced that we would have accumulated at least 6+ points more at this stage if we had played players in proper positions.That may be an under estimation!
Ian Russell has had a good season and has scored several ***** goals but for me he has to play as one of the two strikers or he is on the bench. The whole balance of the team is wrong with the favoured formation and accommodating players "out of position" has to stop.Playing Gavin wide right at Morton was another bad decison.
We have plenty of options in central midfield (Derek Young to come back as well) and it makes sense to get 3 in there or go 4-4-2. It helps us to dominate possession and it protects the back 4 b
