Okay, I expect what the reaction will be to this but hear me out & hopefully, some of you will agree with me here. Ive been to all our games this season, seen todays cr@p & read most of the post match forum comments this evening & for me the critisim Russell Duncan is unjustified.
His role in the ICT team is to break up play in the midfield, get the ball out of danger areas & provide cover in defence. It aint a pretty role but he does the job expected week in week out. So when things dont go well like today then everyone jumps on the bandwagon & starts slating him.
If we had won today everyone would have been saying how well he had played & most probably his best performance of the season. For me he misses playing alongside Ian Black & like Foran, is being exposed/let down by the very average players around him.
Cox has been a massive disappointment & he is constantly getting dragged into central defence to help Granty cover Bulshitis. Today he spent most of the 2nd half as a Sweeper!
We have many SPL quality players, Esson, Tokely, Munro, Foran, Imrie, Hayes, Mcbain & DUNCAN. We are being let down by the poor Butcher signings (apart from Hayes) & a major lack of ideas tactically. There is only one area we should be pointing the finger - squarley at the management team.
As someone else said on another thread - that's my rant over!!!
