Watching Nick's tactics from the stand

First half on Saturday, we seemed to have only one plan.

Pass the ball to Obita who would try a series of 1-2s with Myziane. He's an excellent player Jordan, but I'm not sure what Nick expects in terms of creating goalscoring opportunities from the white line and corner flag.

I watched the same pattern over and over and by half-time felt that the St Johnstone defence were running on autopilot putting in an overload of defenders on that side. If it was predictable to us, Levein and St Johnstone, it must have been equally frustrating to Marcondes, Le Fondre and Boyle watching the game from the West Stand and not getting much of a sniff.

Mixed it up a bit second half but it's pretty clear that just like his predecessor, Montgomery's Plan A is play the ball up the touchlines. If it was carried out at pace, great, but our passes are mostly slow and predictable.

No matter how many corners we got, we didn't have any fresh ideas against a ten-man defence.

So few runs with the ball. So little central play. So little variety.

Not great to watch.

With so many good attackers on the pitch surely there are other tactical options?
