Milne is in the same situation as Malloy, in the lead up to the goal he chickened out of a challenge in the air. 

I'd like to see that one back. At the game it looked like Graham threw himself into Milne as he was about to jump, with no attempt to play the ball. 

Anyway, it wasn't a beautiful game today by any stretch. Robinson has clearly put the brakes on any attempt to play football, which is completely fine given the circumstances. No short balls from the keeper, very little through midfield and relying on the forwards with the midfield winning second balls. All fine at this stage, although I can't help but think that our last 4-5 managers haven't been given that freedom, with the insistence from within the club that they have to play "entertaining football" (which apparently translates to passing it until we lose possession). A bit of pragmatism was, and is, required. 

Thought Lobban really struggled today and probably shouldn't have started. A lot of okay performances, with nobody standing out. Lazetic wasn't absolutely terrible, but wasn't great and I'm surprised that Jensen and Olusanya didn't appear at half time. Geiger was okay too, but should have been off a bit earlier, as I don't like to see guys like Nilsen (or Shinnie) getting ten minutes as it often takes them that to get going. Really difficult to say much more than that we were okay. A draw a fair result, and a really good cross and header for their goal, albeit one from which we had plenty of opportunities to close down and deal with.
