I think it was more lack of ability than lack of aggression.
We certainly do miss Alfies hold up play.
It was St Johnstone, FFS. How much ability do you need to be better than Ricky Foster, Cammy Bell and that donkey Davidson? All our players have to do is give their best regularly to beat these teams. Be brave, accept responsibility, take the game to the opponent, win your personal battle. That's 'aggression'.

To be brutally honest, when you take the likes of Morelos, Jack and Arfield out of that team, the quality isn’t a hell of a lot better than Foster, Bell and Davidson.
That’s a big part of our problem.
This for me!
Fed up hearing about us having no aggression, fight call it what you want, the bottom line is we lack quality and that’s where we are so inconsistent.
So what do you honestly think is the problem.......as a matter of honest civil debateI don't agree, OM. Again, we've seen how these players can perform when they have their head on. They aren't EPL standard but they're better than St. J.
Name some top players who regularly fanny about the way ours do?
Ours are the distant equivalent of a Nasri. There's talent there but unless it's built on application it's ultimately ineffective. Our players are asked to deliver their best, they don't. That's mentality, not skill.
