The last two performances have been encouraging. Night and day compared to the last few months and better than the majority over the last few seasons.
I'll always be thankful to McCoist for being there when the club needed continuity more than ever. Same with the players who stood by us. But it was obvious he wasn't cutting it as a manager. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for long enough because he was getting the job done but performances were often dire. There was often no pattern to our play and too many games were teams like Raith Rovers or Annan would be outplaying us, even if we did manage to win. That should never have happened as often as it did.
I always thought McCoist had failed to sign a genuine leader at the back and a proper central midfielder and that it showed in most of our games, especially games with added pressure in cups. The team just seemed to lack direction or know what to do if things didn't go to plan. I think we've been a bit unlucky against Hearts this season and that Boyd having a terrible season has cost us a fair number of points but if we had come first then these problems would have just cost us next year.
McCall has impressed me so far though considering I never wanted him. Same colour of hair as the last one to prove me wrong, so here's hoping
