To be fair some comments on here are over the top as far as Mixu's tactics go (Jocky Wilson's thread in particular - though he could be a Yam in disguise) . However, I think it is not unfair to suggest that there is something amiss in his midfield formation. On Saturday I lost count of the number of times the player in posession had no option but to try and play it up to the forwards or pass it back.
I am a bit baffled by Mixu's comment on Radio Scotland saying he felt the second half was ours. Apart from Donaldson's shot their keeper never had a save to make.
I thought we were pish.
I think Mixu will resolve the midfield issue by making summer signings but what can we do meantime? It seems to me we just don't have the players. I don't think Kerr is the answer but to be fair to Kerr Mixu's midfield shape does not suit his game and he is often left with 2 players to chase.
Boozy would probably have made a difference but I've always felt he's a bit lightweight and is injury prone.
Saturday also showed how much work Fletcher does up front, missed him big time.
