One thing I have noticed about our play, which, whilst it certainly is not solely Irvines fault, but has been made worse since he came is our transitional play.
Moving from defence to attack is so slow. I watched the hull game last night and both teams were quick going forward from defence. You watch Foster look about for ages, then ping a kick straight into the crowd, then you look at other keepers quickly getting the ball out. Not Fosters fault, but more to do with our slow labouring team, constantly plodding around.
If he wants to set up defensively, he needs to have an element of pace to be able to counter teams once we regain possession. Picking a team with the likes of Brunt Dorrans Morrison and Gardner in the middle does him no favours when adopting this style.
As one of the 'best coaches' available, he should be able to rectify these things.
In short, he hasn't got a clue
