Can -should- we select a MotM when not one player could be marked at more that 4, maybe 5 at a push, out of 10?

 

Picking a 'Least Bad Player' kind of demeans it, really. 

 

Agree that LBP was Calvin Bassey.

 

Thinking about this (too often), when it’s not relevant to pick a Man of the Match, we could pick a Mare of the Match. But then Tav may have had both last night!

It can be harder to put in a 6/10 performance when the rest of the team are 4/5s than to put in a 8/10 performance when the rest of the team are at that level too. So I think “least bad” votes do have value. 

Would that we had a couple of 6/10s last night!

Speaking to Gersnet post-match, Tavenier offered:

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Voted Tav. He was poor but another assist and a goal. Now only the legend that is John Greig has scored more goals than Tav (defender wise). Some achievement from The Captain. 

 

Great bottle to step up and take the penalty given he had missed 4 of the previous 5 (or 5 of the previous 6).

 

Also worth noting Tav has the most assists in SPFL thus far this season.

Definitely fair comment. Though, I guess we've come to compare Tav against his own impressive numbers where he's in a league of his own but even when he's delivering goals/assists, we still need him to defend the box, when he's no rampaging up the park. It's a tough role.

Quite the conundrum. Whilst believing Patterson is the genuine article, can he deliver the numbers Tav does?

Without a decent run in the team we will never find out.

So we drop our top scoring defender and player with most assists in League in the "hope" Patterson can match him? And if he doesn't?

Even more reason to pummel teams in the first half. When 3 up at half time, understudies can then be given the opportunity to show what they can do.
