Youre playing a 10 man reserve team ffs & youre 2-0 up. Go for them ffs.
Both Jimmy T & the players share the blame here.
Jimmy T for some frankly baffling substitutions, & the players for showing the typical weak minded attitude of trying to hang onto what youve got instead of keeping on going for the throat.
We had them on toast out wide, & Jimmy took away most of that threat with his subs - why?
Okkels actually did ok when he came on, but Morris off & Sokler wide right - WTF was that?
I can only assume he instructed them to sit off more second half & if so thats very disappointing. He shouldnt be infected with the usual inferiority complex far too prevalent in Scottish football when playing the uglies, but it fair looked like it was there second half today.
I praised Knoesters & Dorrington at HT, but fuuck me that first goal was another total defensive shambles. Our inability to defend simple balls over the top all season will be a huge part of why we dont finish third. Just not good enough.
As for the second, equally abysmal defending letting Dessers run through like that & leaving Hagi alone at the edge of the box. Its the last minute ffs, just shut up shop.
This result & the 2 points lost at Hibs last minute will cost us third. Thats bad enough, so weve got to ensure we get fourth as anything less after the start this year is really not good enough.
Poor, poor result. 2 points absolutely thrown away. Gutted & pissed off in equal measure at that.
