Yes, the second half was an improvement but that’s only because things could not conceivably have deteriorated from the ineptitude of the first period.
New manager Wilfried Nancy’s dream move to Europe is fast turning into a nightmare, although he doesn’t seem to be the type to panic after just a couple of games in charge.
One thing is clear, though, the feelgood factor Martin O’Neill restored has completely vanished and the mood music going into Sunday’s League Cup final is now off-key.
A lot will be made of numbers and formations, 3-4-3 and the like.
The simple fact is this: unless Nancy finds a way of putting round pegs into round holes, he’s in for a lot more pain going forward with St Mirren smacking their lips at the prospect of Sunday’s showdown.
