Bradley came on against Hamilton and looked really good, very good close control but we haven’t seen him since, Gullan was the only striker who was direct and running at the defence, offered more than Doidge has in a while yet Doidge never gets dropped. You couldn’t make it up.
It's ten minutes here and there though. Gullan against Alloa didn't suggest he is the answer. Yet.
If you look at our golden generation only Garry O was an instant hit, the others were bedded in gradually and none of them were used as sticking plasters.
We've ruined too many kids since then. If they had started today and we still lost 0-3, which is likely as Martindale admitted his game plan was to target our centre backs, the same folk calling for Bradley, Doig and Gullan's inclusion would be demanding East Mains was closed and our youth coaches were sacked. It would only be worse for them if fans were in booing every slack pass.
We need experience on the bench and we will go through bad patches until we have it.
