Only missed two games this season so far(Elgin away & the 1st Annan trip) and the gulf of performance between 2014 and 2015 is dramatic.

However, Saturday's first-half display was more akin to our early months form in the campaign. We couldn't take our chances at Annan, as has been said, and paid for it big-time! The ball will not 'stick' to McManus at the moment and Murray's loss of form has been dismaying. Kevin Buchan is seriously devoid of effort and determination, and thus is not the answer. Jack Smith should get more 'game time' ahead of Buchan, but doesn't appear to have the confidence of his bosses.

The gaffer was right, in my view, to play Thomas Grant at the expense of Murray. Although it didn't pay off, to play Murray from the kick-off would've conveyed the wrong message to our prolific hitman. Three strikers on the bench at the start of play at Galabank? Says everything.
