Says it all when the team seemed lost without McGowan

One thing we learned about GB today, looks like he doesn't have much of a halftime pep talk.

Looks like it...too nice?

Mystified by team selection. Had to play Rudden against his old team, crying out for McCowan's creativity in the middle, yet he never set foot on the park, took McGinn off when he was involved in most 'good' things. (maybe injured?)

Early days.

McGinn going off was surprising. We ended up throwing on attackers using tactics that previous managers have been highly criticised over. McGinn was involved in most of the good things that we did and Byrne, being a defensive midfielder, was the obvious sub. With McGowan being out I thought that a more creative player would've started ahead of Williamson who was poor imo.

If we have to rely on McGowan, we're not going anywhere fast.

Did GB do his team huddle at full time?

[Claverdee]

Hopefully GB hasn’t underestimated the Scottish Championship and will now realise what a tough league it is

I wouldn't say we'll rely on him but there will be plenty of occasions where he will be an asset. Today I'd suggest he'd have been an upgrade on Williamson and probably Anderson.
