Powers will have a big part to play in such matches. However, games like last night and recently v Alloa, Morton and Arbroath, slowing it down, playing sidey-sidey football with little penetration plays right into the hands of teams designed to sit in and keep disciplined banks of four and five. It wasn’t the only factor but Powers style played a heavy role in the failure to win the matches prior to last night and his substitution last night played a significant part in getting the win.
