McCrorie impressed me today. I didn't really notice him much against Partick Thistle. If Alves is out for a while we have little to worry about.
Ryan Jack is another who is clearly up to the challenge.
The team was already finding it difficult with Peña. I thought he did ok but we need much more. The team found it really difficult when he was replaced with Miller. I hope keeping Miller out of the team is a priority in January.
Some other players didn't show much. I think Hodson was mismatched against his opponent. Despite that he did as well as can be expected. The gap between Hodson, on the left, and either John or Wallace is quite wide. Candeias didn't look up to much either. I think he has been able to outpace all his opponents this season but not today.
It's not good enough but it might be a different story next time. Hopefully next time we will have a preferred left back, more from Peña and someone to keep Miller out of the team.
