I was happy with him taking the safe option when there was rarely any other option for him when in his position, losing it would have piled pressure onto us via the counter attack.

Taking Gogic off and putting Doidge up front should have given us more options going forward but it didn't really work out that way all that often.

Newell looked stuck on the ball a lot, that was mainly down to St Johnstone being strong and disciplined defensively and us lacking the players to adequately move them out of position and create space.

Maybe it’s under instruction, but in games like last night we need the likes of Newell to drive with the ball. Pick it up on the half way line and drive 10 or 15 yards into their half before releasing it to the likes of Murphy. Most of his work last night was in our own half, he’s as much a part of our lack of drive, movement and intensity in the middle as anyone IMO.

An example of our lack of drive was the fact that from the kick off it took us almost 2 mins to get out of our own half.

Poor game last night but still our best CM this season by a distance.

Really need Magennis or a new signing to come into Mallans place and excel if we’re playing a central 3.

Last night we had 2 shots on goal within the first 2 minutes.

Sometimes better to make stuff up to suit an argument though. ‘Drive forward 10-15 yards’ is all fine and well, until two players are standing in front of you, not sure what folk expect from him.

From our own half? And people say we're not entertaining enough.
