That was unacceptable tonight. I really don’t care about the second half, for the manager to send out the same eleven after that first 45 was incredible.

Trying to play out back entire first 45 mins with no outlets on flanks in part because we were playing a centre half at right back, when the opposition is able to funnel back behind the ball and wait to steal it off you high up the pitch.

We should have been making bare minimum 2-3 subs at ht. Freeman, sporle to give width, mochrie or glass to run in behind opposition and commit players, watt to try a different striker. How harkens and McNulty stayed on I don’t know. McNulty is just another Nicky Clark, doesn’t have physique to win headers or pace to get in behind, just kept giving away pointless fouls.

When we ended up with desperate with Clark, McNulty and watt on pitch, it just felt like last season again when we shoe horned McNulty, Clark, and shanks - still no pace to be direct or anyone to win headers.

I know we were rotten tonight but our strikers truly are awful. I really hope they have a plan for watt, because I don’t see him win too many headers or get in behind teams with his pace.

While I agree he could have subbed numerous players at half time, they were all poor

The same team came out and played pretty good for ten minutes, I actually thought he brought Watt on at the wrong time as we were on top and everyone looked better and more energetic, sure enough we lost a goal straight away and momentum was killed and fans deflated, from an area Niskanen would have been

To be fair though at that point he made good subs with Freeman and Clark introduction and we got ban on top from there and played some decent stuff

Watt is a clever player and think he will bring a lot to the side
