Good comments but I'll add to them by slamming into the manager for not subbing Whittaker on a 0-1 score line, the midfielder committing fouls after that 1st yellow card and no immediate response to remove him and the threat of going down to 10 men - HE DIDN'T DO IT FFS!! We need a leader in the summer????? We need more than that - IMO WE NEED A CLEAR OUT OF MOST OF OUR OLDER PLAYERS WHO HAVE NO BACKBONE WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH AND WE REGULARLY CONCEDE FROM WINNING POSITIONS!!!!!! I think this team has lost about 24 pts from winning positions!!!!!!
Re the Saint Johnstone game next week, I think we are definitely gonna lose this match, will drop down into a bottom 6 position and we are moving towards a Ross "master class" in "throwing a footie season"!! Yes, it is as bad as that and I'm basing that prediction on observation of what is going on in recent matches incl this one. This manager doesn't appear to have any kinda positive reaction or alternative strategy when a game "turns" against him. In today's game IMO he created his own problem at 0-1 and then, down to 10 men, he influenced zilch from his dugout position and we were losing goals within minutes of Whittaker's departure!! I agree re the fact the lack of leaders and "battlers" was so glaring. I can't believe HFC didn't redress the most glaring defensive weaknesses during the Jan transfer period - absolutely bizarre when one compares all the positive "chat"/aspiration coming out of Ron Gordon's mouth at the recent AGM!!!! That positivity and healthy ambition is not reflected on the pitch and we are on a massive "downer"!!!
