Even if we get the 6 points back we have fallen behind Livingston and they have a game in hand, we need some wins.
I have no wish to interpret whether anyone has broken the rules, give us the points or let us play the games, get on with it.
Lang used Polworth as a decoy, as the defender had to be wary of that pass it opened up for Lang in a more central position. The issue is that he missed the target. The other option would have seen a pass back from Polworth.
But that substitution changes our shape, our approach, our mindset, so it’s little to do with White himself but the dynamic changes and we lose the points.
Copy and pasted from Robbo thread :
I have sympathy for the club. I have no strong opinion on whether or how St Mirren and Killie should be punished. The points should not have been awarded while there was still course to appeal.
But given that they were awarded, we have now been messed about through no fault of our own. As innocent bystanders we were given something then a few weeks later and a few hours before a match it has been taken away from us with no clarity on how things will move on.
Theoretically in midweek we may have gone all out for a winner but due to our relative safe position in 5th we determined that hanging on to one point was a good result.
Theoretically.
I was expecting Hastie to get a game, and he may have made a difference, but as the game wore on I thought minimal changes would earn us a point.
Then White came on.
It was disappointing to have a point wrestled from our grasp on the 82nd minute but it would have been seen as a valiant attempt. The third made it look like a perfunctory defeat.
