And it's the "mixing things up" reactivity (rather than proactively) approach that is the difference between a top 2 team and a playoff team...

And they say football fans have a lower average IQ than other sections of society...

I'm getting the impression that Martin does "mix it up" when things aren't going so well but 'reverts to type' once the ship has been steadied... For example, it took the 4 dire performances in September to convince Martin to adjust his approach for the Leeds game and, lo and behold, we had one of our best performances of the season... As such, whilst we're on an unbeaten run (albeit without commanding performances), he'll be happy to stick with the more trademark cautious approach I would imagine...

Given he knows the players are susceptible to complacency at the start of the 2nd half in games like this, why is he seemingly incapable of a half time team talk that wards off this player behaviour...? Either the players are as thick as mince or Martin isn't able to get his message across properly...

Yeah but... Soshal meeja, innit....

Given Ross Stewart and Adam Armstrong played the last c.15 minutes together, one assumes that's an indication that RM is considering starting both of them in a game sometime soon...?

Over-reaction for any event on social media...? Well, that's a shocker...

2 points to be precise...

Beaten to it by the rational disappointed reactions...

The substitutions made the difference today I feel... Ross Stewart shouldn't be coming on so late in the game and the other subs felt like subs for subs sake and disrupted our momentum / continuity.

4 points dropped Vs Rotherham and Huddersfield. Play offs it is then. #notanoverreaction

Full time. Meh

Thought it was a cross rather than a shot?

Bazunu preserves the the scoreline there

Fingers will be pointing at Bazunu there...

Cocking hell

Stu Armstrong

Interesting that we've left Adam Armstrong on rather than a straight swap with Stewart

Stewart on 10 - 20 mins too late for my liking, but what do I know...?

Time for their annual capitulation...?

Yeah, hardly a high boot given how short Fraser is in the first place!

60 mins... Unleash Ross Stewart.... (Please)

Yeah, bugger. After a long line of academy strikers/attacking midfielders that have failed to capitalize on their early potential over the last decade of do (e.g. Ryan Seager, Josh Sims), Dom looked like he could actually break through into the first team. Hope this doesn't end up being one of those injuries that he never fully recovers from...
