Just looking purely at Fridays game, we were completely dominated all over the park and had it not been for some inspired goalkeeping we would have been dead and buried before half time. Certainly before Connolly's mistake anyway. I was far more upset that our midfield was non existent and our entire team didn't string two passes together all night. As has been said, we played much better in the 4-0 defeat at Kilmarnock and actually created plenty, just had no one able to finish. We also dominated possession in that game, Friday we offered absolutely nothing as a team and the ball was constantly on top of our defence, I think everyone knew defeat was likely with that kind of performance. I'm really hoping the boy Fuchs is going to take hold of the midfield and prevent that kind of performance happening again.

We got away with less than we deserved against Livi. Losing by a single goal flattered us. This almost makes Connolly's error meaningless. Had we really deserved to take something from the game it would have been a different story.
