It MAY be a new season, we may be playing in a different way but we still have the same old problem – we keep conceding late goals.

The problem came back to haunt us against Motherwell on Saturday, even though we had just 60 seconds of injury time to endure.

However, over the past few years you’ve been able to see a last-minute goal coming from just after half-time as we’ve been on the back foot. Saturday was different. We were still pushing for a winner in the dying seconds before Motherwell got their decisive free-kick.

The main problem on Saturday was a reluctance to shoot. We often got ourselves into decent positions but wanted to take another touch or make another pass before we had a shot. We need to be more willing to take a chance and have a go against Hibs on Saturday.
