The constant criticism was “get the ball up the park”, “ffs mcmullan “ etc etc. We kept looking at each other in disbelief. If I was a season ticket holder I could live with a 2-0 victory at home every home game even if it wasn’t the best entertainment. What are the expectations of these critics? I saw shankland make a mistake and give away a throw in and get a round of applause for his effort and endeavour. If that had been mcmullan he would have been on the end of some abuse. Definitely sitting in different seats next visit. Side to side passing at the back can be frustrating but if that is the only option rather than a punt can we not show some patience and wait for an opening? It’s going to take hard graft and sometimes winning dirty to get out of this league but come the end of the season if we do get promoted then today will be forgotten.
Nt sure about being too critical yesterday. Criticism where it is due. We where awful 2nd half. McMullen was nt at his best yest. Bt neither were other players including shankland and harkes. If it’s constructive criticism your looking for. I’m afraid footballs the wrong environment for that. Bt I get where your coming from with the criticism levelled at mcmullen.
