We are closer, no doubting that.
BUT, we have a real split-personality thing where we can go from 3/10 to 8/10 and back down to 4/10 in the same game !
Inconsistency, making stupid passing decisions and just not bloody concentrating have cost us dear, not just today but for the last few seasons.
I like Tav when he's going forward, he's scared to shoot a lot of the time but he creates good chances, and when 1 v 1 defending he's ok, but he switches off so many times it's frightening. He's not reliable, therefore not a captain.
Morelos I've defended and stayed positive about, but that today was fokking stupidity. How many times ? For me he really has cost us this season, yes hes targeted, who WOULDN'T target a player that easy to rile up ?
Goodson & Worrall have been up & down all season, maybe too early to be making a judgment on Goldson but I'm not reassured when the ball comes into our box that he'll deal with it.
Worrall, fokking Worrall....concentrating fully he's ok. Far too many attempts at being Beckenbauer though, his passing is no better than Bates was (and he got pelters for it).
Jack looked off it, even when we were in the ascendancy, but I suspect his foot injury is still plaguing him.
Arfield was our best performer of the 1st half, kept going when we picked it up in the 2nd and can't really be faulted. McCrorie looked like he hadn't played in ages in the 1st half, stepped up the effort in the 2nd but was not as dominant at 2nd balls like he was at Ibrox. Needs more games.
Halliday played ok (ish), delivery into the box was a bit iffy & he got really into it in the 2nd.
We are still a work in progress, everybody (including me) needs to remember it. This season has gone, it's now about securing 2nd, gubbing them at Ibrox and getting ready to offload/recruit well in the summer.
A season that promised much, just too inconsistent and flaky
(especially in the "championship" minutes).
