Defence was poor today overall. I actually though Shiels was one of our better players, though only Scott Martin seemed to have the urge to take the game to them. We missed a golden chance to go on one-up early on, but failing to convert gave them the encouragement they needed.
Overall they looked the better team. Why Lawson was playing the full 45 minutes when he looked so far off the pace, only Rankin can explain. We were cut open time after time near the D and their goal(s) seemed inevitable.
How we can raise our performance to beat Arbroath on Friday, when they got a point today, is anyone's guess. As TT said, let's hope that McGowan is OK for this one, and De Bolle has a better game. Like Lewis Smith, he seems to try to take on one more player than he needs to.
Our opportunity to both close the gap AND go above Cove on G/D has been lost (well at least today)
And only one card from Willie Collum?? Surely that must be a record?
