McGregor would only have made a difference by being played in the centre of a 3 with Porteous and Hanlon either side of him.
It's what I had hoped for but it didn't happen.
It was daft repeating our shape from the previous unsuccessful games against St Johnstone.
The match up 3-5-2 might not have looked good but I don't think they would have scored against it.
Wanted the same formation with Daz in the team. St Johnstone are a big physical team and having 3 centre backs in a 3-5-2 would have gone some way to nullifying their offensive threat.

I think Daz's presence would also have made Hanlon an Porteous more comfortable.

As many others have said, Ross had to change something yesterday, either personnel, tactics, formation and arguably all 3. He changed nothing and it's no surprise to anyone that the game went the same way as previous games against St Johnstone.

What was a surprise is how 10 outfield players can be so listless and passive in such a big game. They had no belief which is the most worrying thing for me. Something not right in the preparation?
