Bigger problem with the lack of creation!Scoring a bit off the boil - need to get more output from strikers!
Defence excellent with only 2 goals against. Defence wins titles but lack of goals needs to be addressed!
I think it depends where your crossing from,if you can get in behind the full backs and get a cross in its a very dangerous play as usually the defenders are then facing their own goal a bit like the 2 goals Motherwell have scored against us.Trying to play through the middle when they have 11 players in the box is pretty difficult.We’ve been slowly getting back into the get it wide and cross it tactic that can be very hit or miss for us. I think we need to focus a bit more playing through the middle with quick one touch passing.
Although we haven’t scored too many, I also don’t remember us missing too many clear cut chances either.
We also have a bit of a habit of overplaying sometimes.
We need Roofe for that imo mate

The biggest complaint I had about today was the lack of shooting from around the edge of the area. Despite the packed defence, there were several good opportunities for a pop from the edge of the box. Not one of our strong points.We had many more moves around the Motherwell penalty box than they had around ours.
It's not as if this was a 50/50 game or anything.
The stats show we had way more possession, shots, plus touches in the opposition box.
We definitely weren't at our best today, but we were the better team by a mile and could've and should've won the game.
I was only making the point that the pitch, particularly in the middle, wasn't ideal for a fast one touch passing game.
