This was the topic of some conversation yesterday. When we were down against Hamilton a few weeks ago before the split, we were running the game with 10 men, and scored. Yet, yesterday, we waited until Falkirk pulled ahead, before we chose to mount a concerted attacking formation - 4 up front for the last 10 mins - and got more on target than we had in the rest of the game. Yes, the Bairns may have dropped back, but they still needed another goal t be safe. Attacking football is all about confidence, something that has been in short supply this season.
Good strikers are expensive, hence there relative absence in the lower half of the SPL. Brewster's biggest error was the wholesale clearout of strikers in his early days, leaving us with Rory McAllister and Barrowload. Hopefully next season will allow Rooney, Wood, Imrie and especially Morais, if he's still here to play their own games and shine.
Runaway leaders...
