I totaly agree with your assessment of Hatel, itys surely time for him to warm the bench for a while and give hopefuly give a trier a chance.As regards Higgy its obvious especially opposition managers that the majority of play has got to go through him, this is not his fault whlie I would not criticise his effort on Tuesday I would criticise his application.The game was crying out for someone to knock it over the top as Aberdeen were playing a very higfh line,but no evrything had to go to Higgy.After the game our manager singled out Mark Reynolds for praise but as he was the one playing directly against Higgy should he not have changed it,no that would mean a plan B .
So in conclusion as long as we are playing 80s football its going to get harder as the season goes on.,maybe freshening up the coaching staff would help asfresh input to McCall might help.
