Holding Brendan responsible for this . formation all wrong and players played out of position, but that doesn't excuse ntcham not being able to pass the ball 10 yards or ajer never playing it forward ever or eddy just being eddy shows the defender the ball all the time very very poor. get the cheque book out.

The switch of wingers, I assume was supposed to surprise Hibs, but it certainly unsettled us more and the pressure of being the only striker option is weighing too heavily on Edouarde, who seems incapable of doing even the basics and has zero confidence.
Cal-Mac moved to accommodate Ntcham and Broony because of injuries
affected our shape and potency, while Ajer being played out of position (and indeed a back three) encouraged Hibs to attack the flanks, where they found a lot of joy.
We have two right backs on the books who can cover for Lustig in Gamboa and Ralston, but BR can't depend on them and the same in midfield where Hayes, Morgan and Mulumbu can't cover for an out of sorts Sinclair or a tiring Brown
Then there are the guys who can't even get on the bench, during an injury crisis?
There's no doubt we have suffered a lot of injuries this month to important players, who - if playing - would have won today; however, we do have a lot of surplus who will never make the grade and we need better quality in key positions ASAP.
