I avoided the score as I was working and recorded the Alba showing to watch at midnight last night.
It's fucking hard doin that.
In the first half we seemed set on keeping it at 0-0 and maybe nicking a goal if we could. I didn't notice a shot on target until the 77th minute but I maybe wrong. Trying to come back from being behind is a difficult thing to do and we seem to have ended up in that situation too often. I wasn't keen on the starting line up, I just don't see what Grimshaw offers. I actually think Rose & McHugh can and do offer things alhough that may not often show, I am lost as to what Grimshaw has. I don't think he's a bad player. He started at RWB then when Tait was switched he moved to the middle while Rose went to LWB,
I thought Kipre was great. Looked solid and a few times he took control and went a wee stroll with the ball.
Charles Dunne had a pretty good game defensively as well. We all know his distribution isn't great but I thought overall he was pretty steady. Richard Tait had a complete nightmare. He looked like Tait from 15 months ago where he couldn't defend for shit. When I have been critical of him in the past the excuse "Full backs are more attacking than defensive these days" has been thrown back as if it is some sort of acceptance for shit defending. For the 2nd goal he was diabolical.
Curtis Main is a machine. More in the sense he seems like he'd run through a brick wall and never gives up. Paul Hanlon had his hands all over him for most of the night and what he got booked for looked laughable anaw.
Pity we had a few fitness issues. I think when Frear is fit I'd like us to go 4-4-2 with him and Cads playing wide. Leaves a headache of where to play Tanner but that's where the manager earns his bread.
John McGinn is a cunt anaw btw. I think he is massively overrated. I don't think he's a bad player, i just don't have the same awe for him as some do.
I don't think we were as close to Hibs as we should have been and it was a canter for them for about 75 mins.
Basically I sat up to 2am watching that for fuck all. Had fun tweeting my "live" watching of it though.
