Spot on and yesterday was a perfect example.
A dreadful Aberdeen side should have been put to the sword but wasn't and as such the last 30 minutes was spent praying there wasn't a slip up from one of our players that would present the Sheep with an equaliser.
We continually struggle to convincingly finish of sides after opening the scoring and the longer we go without scoring that all important 2nd goal the more nervous the team becomes.
The most important thing about yesterday was getting the 3 points but it doesn't hide the fact that we still have not found an answer on how to open a packed defence. We huffed and puffed, moved the ball this way and that at an ever decreasing pace and created very little threat - where is the playing at pace? where is the incisive pass?
I know it is early days but saw nothing yesterday (and also the 1st 45 last week against Coventry) that convinces me that we will not struggle once again when we encounter the low block.
We took 4 off Motherwell last week.
As long as we continue to win and not concede, we'll be there when it matters.
We are better defensively and in midfield, but they definitely have the better attack and scoring options.
