Rested all the players who have picked up a niggle ready for the next game and a busy December period, lose to a team away from home in midtable with not much threat of a playoff place or being relegated, get rid of the unbeaten run that only makes us hang on to draws when otherwise it would be ill advised. All in all a good tactical loss, credit Alex Neil
Tactical loss

Somewhat satirical post but i agree
A tactical masterstroke when we pick up two more injuries (Earl and Storey)?

Are you taking the piss?
I don’t for one minute think Neil went in to today’s game accepting a loss but won’t be too down that it ended up being the end of our unbeaten run.
Pearson is simply irreplaceable, added to the other injuries a result like today’s was always on the horizon. Hopefully a weeks rest for some will bring them back in for a hectic few weeks.
As for Rudd, it’s clear neither keeper are up to it at this level sadly. It’s an area that needs addressing but we have plenty of them and not sure the owner will spend the money to bring in what’s needed to help the manager.
