I didn't see any problem with his work rate at all - he constantly made himself available but the tight marking and packed defence scunnered the majority of moves.
He always has energy when we have the ball not so much when we don't. He lost possession far too much today and that partly led to a very poor first half display where we never really got going. Not all down to him of course. Our movement was poor and St Johnstone pressed us well while we stood off them when they had the ball.

We improved second half mostly down to having an extra man and JDH coming on and doing well. All our better performers were defenders today imo and no-one did that well with the ball. It was a dull 0-0 livened up by a penalty that never looked like one to me but I was 80 yards away. Very happy we got the 3points there. We need to grind out results particularly while we have so many injuries and players playing hurt. Jack Ross got it right, our performance levels have dropped and there are plenty mitigating factors. 3 games in a week was too much for Scottie on todays performance and he wasn't alone in that. A week off before playing the The Thes is just what we need
