It makes us so one dimensional in how we can play, and has been needing addressed for 2 seasons now.

You look at St Mirren and Ross County the past two games and they can create a chance with three direct passes (not punts) what we are trying to do in 15-20 passes, just by having a bit of pace in their team, and in the case of County having the winger and ****ey Whitey up top.

Fairness to Freeman, he got forward last night.
Have to disagree with a lot of that.

Watt actually outpaced their RB in a straight race and Watt had the ball! Plus Watt bring a whole lot more which compensates for any shortcomings he might have. He's the kind of player we've been crying out for. Big, strong, committed, can take a goal and as you see last night can create as well.
Then you say we've no pace but Freeman does?
Glass has what you and I are looking for but the manager won't give him a run of starts.

I agree with the bit about not attacking quickly enough on the turnover though.
