thats kinda my point though Smid you need a squad big enough to deal with injuries and suspensions as they do happen. Its four players out we are talking about here and in the case of MOH and King we knew they were cup tied. We have actually been very lucky with injuries and suspension TBH
Ball being our only defensive cover was always a risk and it bit us big time.
As you say with 10 mins to go in a game you have been terrible in you bring on an extra defender or at least replace the one who has under performed.
We didn't have the option to do that. I am sure MW knows this though and i would be happy if Ball was there next season on loan in addition to Crooks.

Kenny Miller, full credit to him, he's one of these guys, (dare I say it) like Strachan that obviously loves being a footballer and still buzzes about like a guy half his age.
Sorry, just seen that other thread where he's getting plaudits.

Good honest appraisal.
I wasn't going to watch the game. In fact had a mate not reminded me it was on when I was coaching Saturday morning I'd probably have gone out.
Glad I watched it. A real entertaining match worthy of being a showpiece end of season match.
Good goals, missed chances, last minute winners.
It really put the FA Cup in England to shame.
It must be concerning now that you haven't won a game since the Petrofac cup in normal time.
It can't be excused with holding back for the cup final etc as Hibs have had a run in of play off games. Can't use the excuse of having a break didn't help surely?
Is it down to the players are just burned out and a lack of depth is harming the team as the season progressed?
I said it at the OF semi. You deserved the win and played us off the pitch but, yes it's a but, that was you playing out of your skins.
I don't think that is sustainable over a season. This summer is huge for you now. You have finally got back to the top league but your team needs some quality in depth added. Mainly in defence as teams in the Premiership will attack you more than perhaps some of the Championship teams did.
It certainly shapes for a close top 4 next season. I can see Hearts mounting a serious challenge on Aberdeen for second place. You need a stronger squad to do it over a season if injuries were to happen.
