I have said and will say again that I believe that this season is a transitional season, with McGhee trying to flog the dead wood in the squad and bring in a few players that he believes will suceed at the club.
However, nothing so far this season (Rangers game and the first 25-30 mins against St Johnstone an exception) has suggested to me that this is a transitional season. With every passing week, I am questionining my opinion as every week there seems to be no, if any progress that I can see. If anything it seems we appear to be going backwards. Hopefully activity in the January transfer window will change this, however I'm not confident as the Jan transfer window is never a good time to do business. Suspensions have had a damaging effect on the ability to name a settled squad and apart from injuries to important first team members such as Diamond and Aluko, possibly Fyvie, we have had no injuries to key players. I hope that it gets no worse before it gets better but by now, professionals should be at least reacting to McGhees methods, yet there seems to be no evidence of this.
It can be easy blaming the results/performances on the lack of a goal threat, but quite frankly that would be taking an easy way out.
Blinkered.
