Yesterday I found some of McGhees decisions quite frustrating. McGhee eventually relented to the crowds demand that Aluko was brought on and Young had been playing pish (but not the worst), but something should have been changed at half time as we were not clicking and a goal down. The next substitution of bringing on Pawlett was what we needed but when I saw Mackie was being taken off I could not believe it, and neither did the crowd. For me Mackie had been one of the better players, if not the best and to take him off at a goal down was the wrong player. I would have taken off MacLean as he had done nothing and went on to do nothing. To be fair on the lad the service to him was abysmal. The third sub was too late in the game and I would have taken off McDonald as he was the worst player on the pitch but Kerr was almost as bad but it did change the game. Diamond busting though from midfield showed fight and desire we had lacked for the previous 87 minutes.
In the end keeping on McDonald and putting Zander on in midfield kept us in the cup but it all seemed a bit desperate.
