That tonight was up there with one of the worst Arbroath performances I have witnessed. Just amateur in our play and the type of goals we let in. Obviously the issues surrounding the lack of attacking players and tactics and the makeshift defensive line are well documented. But one of the things that baffled me tonight was McIntyre’s stubbornness to stick to his starting formation throughout the whole 90 mins?! Even though after only the first THREE GOALS it was clear we were struggling heavily in the wide areas, couldn’t cope with their wing backs, getting nothing to McKenna and lost everything in the middle of the park. We played the same formation on Saturday against ICT and had the exact same issues.
Formation decisions might not be the biggest issue we are facing as a club atm, but I think McIntyre needs to get this sorted asap. Otherwise we will be on the wrong end of more embarrassing results.
