I'm sure I've read other teams fans on P&B (I think St Johnstone in particular) saying that they had the same problem as us in their first season, 'dominating games' but unable to score.
I certainly wouldn't be changing the way we play, I'm not entirely sure what this change would be, stop the full backs going forward, stick a big guy up front with Doolan and hit balls to them? Sod that.
Is it not just a case of establishing ourselves in the SPL and being able to get in a better striker next season or the season after?
In the meantime what I have noticed is that Erskine was up to all sorts last season, he was forever picking up the ball in the middle of the park and running forward then sliding balls through to Doolan (and Craig). This season Lawless and Higginbotham don't do that, they stay wider meaning that Doolan cuts a lonely figure up against the 2 centre halves. He is involved in less close play passing on the edge of the box, and with nobody around him to distract defenders they are largely able to snuff everything out.
Osbourne is doing the Paton role much better than Paton ever did, but for some reason whoever is playinhg beside him often stays back so that's another body missing from attacks. Fair enough you can't do that every game but last night at home to a team who offered no threat we don't need 2 guys staying back do we?
