We might need to be the same; so perhaps not a game for Scotland (he won't run onto balls in behind or into channels or challenge in the air), Redmond (not robust or fit enough and cant track back) and Lyon (perhaps not robust enough). Might be a game for McKinnon with a suitable warning to be disciplined and back to his best.
4 key decisions wrong, which someone as ignorant as me was able to forecast:
1) Lyon not robust enough - also a hard hard job to ask a young man to play the holding/play maker role in a struggling team and up against senior pros.
2) Gill is not a forward player why are we not playing him in the holding role as he did to great effect earlier in the season.
3) Jason Scotland is an absolute imposter and he knows that but as a coach is not being honest with us or himself. Every single minute he has played has been a waste of time. He would not start for any other team in the premier or first. He certainly wouldn't get the game time he has with any other senior team across the 4 divisions. The only good point with him is that he keeps alive my dream of playing for Accies if that is the standard.
4) Redmond - talented on the ball but too often ineffective. I can only assume his lack of fitness is down to laziness.
Its now clear that our January signings were punts rather than a real effort to strengthen the team - if Nigel cant start yet then his fitness was obviously overlooked in the effort to bring in anyone after 31 Jan.
No idea where we go from here - I wouldn't be surprised if Martin chucked it after that.
