I was annoyed the way the wall disintegrated against Manure in the 2nd minute, and even more so with our 'defending' after just the same time last night. Morrison's effort to clear was pathetic - nothing to do with 'top class players' or 'Premiership' - it was just plain awful.
My karma wasn't helped by watching Patterson playing right wing trying to place his headers into the path of Reid. I think it's been suggested that if you had a room of monkeys all hammering away at typewriters, eventually, perhaps after a trillion, trillion trillion years, you would end up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Creating a goalscoring chance using those tactics would take considerably longer.
Warnock knows more about football that I have in my little finger, but for what it's worth I would have started with NML and perhaps also Harris, and Murphy down the middle......
