Sorry for the selective quote but I'm just making a point regarding above. Previously when we leaked goals we had that same tendency holding onto a goal lead, sitting back and defending too deep. So I'd suggest that any evidence of that of late is a legacy of a deep rooted fault.
Altho' the manager is in some way to blame, as in most cases of sitting back/deep defending it's the players that are at fault. That's either thru complacency or more often it's a simple attitude thing. If Doolan wanted simply to protect that 1-0 lead he'd have brought on McBeth in midfield, or Muirhead in defence and gone three at the back.
Personally on Saturday I don't believe we were nearly as protective of a goal lead as in the recent past. More our midfield can be too easily brushed aside. They were good individually on the ball, especially Bannigan, but aren't best equipped to break up play. Same difference then as sitting back but perhaps more thru necessity than design?
