No fight, No spirit, No football

Neil has to decide whether we are playing football or going toe to toe in a physical competition. Forrest, McGregor and Christie are not really geared for a physical battle and they looked lost today. Was it the Coaching Staff idea to tell Forster to hump high balls at James Forrest (never a good plan for success). Ajer needs to look at his own game the run into midfield where he lost possession for Livingston's first goal was schoolboy stuff. Bauer and Julien had a poor day too. Forster shows he has the 'the heart of a mouse' again.

We need to go back to Motherwell for an attacking midfielder in January 2020. I thought today screamed out for us to bring in N'tcham and rest Brown. It was also a day for young Dembele - the Livingston physical game plan would have been in anxiety mode with a lad with that skill and that size running at them. However, we stupidly went into the physical contest?

We are too predictable and if we do not play Dembele, Taylor, Shved and rest others when we have a golden opportunity - they will find clubs who are willing to give them an opportunity. Gutless performance today and we need El Hammed in that defence whether at right back or resting Ajer.
