Firstly all credit to the ground staff led by ‘Marvin’ Cassidy for getting the game on, although I’m not sure Wednesday would agree.
I thoroughly enjoyed the game yesterday and possibly a draw would have been the fair result, but how many times have we come away with nothing when we’ve deserved more?
Caddis probably had the best game I’ve seen him play, although he does have a tendency to go missing at times, which is a slight worry. The same can also be said of Rose and we were left exposed numerous times down the left. Morrison was fairly poor in the first half, but got better as the game went on and won most of the headers in the second half. His inconsistency is a concern though and it doesn’t seem to be improving the more game time he gets. I thought Cuthbert looked really strong yesterday.
Good to see JPM heavily involved and far ore comfortable in the role he was playing. Dougie was superb. Charlie, what can you say really? Never fails to give 100%, superb goal and on another day could have had a hat trick. I hope to god we can hang on to him in January.
The problem with him is that he doesn't do himself any favours by not bothering to challenge for the ball too often. Bearing in mind his physical size he is too easily knocked off the ball, and should be giving defenders a much more difficult time.
Say what you want about Clinton Morrison (and yes, he is a cunt but not in a good way
) but he gave our centre-halves a tough time all game. Whereas you get the feeling that unless Vince is 100% convinced he's going to win the ball, he just doesn't bother.
I totally agree with this. I actually thought he was okay in the first half, but he gets to a certain point in the game and seems to completely lose interest. At this point Wilson should be bringing him off, not leaving him on for a further 25 minutes while a large proportion of the crowd get on his back. I have to be honest, I’m not his biggest fan, I’ve really tried to come round to the Pro Pericard way of thinking, but I can’t. He’s too lazy and doesn’t give enough to the team imo. However, I don’t agree with the cheering and booing him off when he was substituted, it’s not nice to hear that happening to one of your own players.
It's amazing how yet again we can come away with 3 points against one of the top sides, but struggle against the lower teams..
