Shocking performance today but it's results we need just now. I can remember quite a few similar games under Calderwood where we played pish but somehow found the result. I really couldnt see us getting a goal but at the same time I never felt we were threatened much by Hamilton.
Vernon's performance seems to be up for debate today and I thought he was utter pish. Lost the ball far too often and seemed a yard off the pace.
Folly was positioned out on the right, as he was at the start of the 2nd half at Easter Road. Not his fault that he didn't make much of an impact there. We missed him in the middle as Young and Hartley were easily dragged around the pitch leaving their midfield plenty of space to play in. Bringing Jack on was a good move as it meant we had a bit more energy in there and someone to get forward to support the strikers, which proved crucial.
Thought McArdle was poor today too. Too often he was beaten down the line and his distribution was awful. Magennis put himself about while up front but when put wide in the 2nd half he seemed to give up, that or he's just really unfit.
Aluko provided the spark we needed towards the end when we were stuck in a rut of lumping the ball up the field. When he got the ball to his feet he was always looking to take on defenders. Just hope he can produce more of the same over 90 minutes in the matches to come.
