  • That triple substitution

    Everyone could see it was the wrong thing to do, we all knew it would invite pressure from Livingston and we all knew the right thing to do was to substitute the players using as many stops in play as possibe to cause maximum disruption. We also knew that he needed to just add an extra little bit of defensive solidity for the last 15 or so minutes whilst leaving an out ball up front.

    So the question is - what the actual **** was Pressley thinking?

    Bizarre decision and could easily have cost us 3 points.Tbought we started 2nd half better and subs stopped that.

      Heard we played reasonably well, went in for haircut at 2 nil up, come oot to hear Dundee taking injury time pen at 2-2.

      Glad for head coach.

        Hopefully Pressley learns from this going forward,what looked like a comfi3 points could easily have been a 3-2 loss due to his changes.
        A few positives there but need more quality in the squad.

          I don’t think his changes caused the Clark Robertson own goal or the dodgy pen the ref gave them to get it back to 2all ,maybe to many changes at the same time , but everybody around me felt Congreve had run his race and was breathing out his erse by then and had to be replaced , Westley still looked fit enough though possibly should’ve stayed on the pitch a wee bit longer , but we got the 3 points and we actually attacked a fair bit yesterday so overall happy

            Murray signalled to bench we was feeling thigh, what worries me are the other two were breathing out their backsides after 20 mins

              The 3 subs were correct, reason he made them all at same time was to keep one back if someone got injured, Westley should have been off 10 minutes earlier however, we were absolutely strolling that game at 2-0 and the usual poor goal and itÂ’s panic stations.

              Honestly think SP is only trusting 12/14 players to start this season, the rest will be bench fillers and put on as a last resort

              We have a lot of players but very little depth
