Two nil up, the opposition down a man and we still contrive to blow two points. Yes, the manager could have done more, especially with proactive changes earlier in the game, but the players themselves need to take a long hard look at themselves. A lack of leadership and a lack of confidence may have a very telling impact on how our season works out. These guys need to realise that they are playing for their careers right now and that an unprofessional ten minutes has turned what could have been a very good night’s work into something that feels like a defeat. With a hiding at Ibrox up next, I really hope we see a reaction.
And while I am at it, time for a few home truths.
It is highly unlikely we will make significant signings in the January transfer window. The players we would like and think we require will either not be available or will be beyond our financial means..
We can blame Alexander all we like, and with some serious justification, but it isn’t going to add anything to our future performances this season.
The only reason we are not already in a relegation or play off place is because a few other sides are equally mediocre. Hoping that that situation remains for the rest of the season is perhaps our best bet, but scarcely a proposition that inspires.
