Following on from the late collapse against Inverness, that was a real sickener and I think more or less puts us down. I missed the start of the game but felt the players battled really well and I don't think you can fault the effort - others may argue that point. The real problem is a lack of quality in key areas. As others have mentioned where are McGinn & One? There is absolutely nothing up front and I'm afraid Tiehi just isn't up to it at all. There is also a real lack of creativity apart from Connor Smith or corners. It would have been some day up in Arbroath if we'd managed to hold on for the win, but if you lose a goal two minutes after taking the lead so late on, then there isn't much defence I'm afraid.
I can't see Cove taking anything from Dundee, but I think they will get at least a point against Morton, as will Arbroath against Morton. I also think Arbroath will beat us next week.
What for the future? I'm old enough to remember us here before (and worse) but it's not going to get any better with McGowan in charge. There' obviously some decent players in the u18s, but is that going to work in League One once the mass exodus begins? I guess we are about to find out.
