Went along to the game with my mate (rangers fan). After the first half hour he turns to me and ask why we keep playing the same high ball forward when it clearly isn't working and why we don't have somebody in the middle of the park running the game and calling the shots. When I told him that's been our problem all season, he just looked at me!!! Says it all really. He also spotted that John Hughes was out in the technical area in the pissing rain barking orders while canning was nowhere to be seen.
My own view of the game was that the score line flattered us and we deserved nothing. Same old high ball to a small striker who couldn't hold it up and make things happen. Too many passengers in the team doing nothing. Midfield was anonymous and shocking that the CB pairing were made to make things happen, they are defenders and looked very uncomfortable when on the ball. Is it too much to ask for two up front when at home? I love imrie but he should hang his head in shame, he sold the third goal with his negative play infield instead of turning up the line. Gillespie, longridge and Kurakins shocking today!!!! Crawford marked out the game after teams have realised he is the accies 'creative force'.
Canning should be looking for an older, experienced centre mid and a striker in Jan. Someone to give the players a boot up the bum and control the midfield and someone to put the ball in the net.
