    1st half was shocking! sitting too much off ICT letting them dictate the play. miles off the pace, no intensity on and off the ball. Lucky we werent playing a more clinical team or it could have been 3/4. For me the moment that summed up the current state of the team was when 3 united players let the ball bounce in the middle of the box when lewis came out and waiting for eachother to do deal with it. the ICT boy still managed to header it before any of them!! shocking

    2nd half was better (couldnt have been worse) more tempo more energy. unlucky with a few half chances. That needs to be the sort of performance we need. the fans were behind the team more because they at least showed some effort. Thats all we ask for surely.

    Lewis- gives me nightmares, shot of any confidence but did make a could of alright saves.
    murdoch- looked miles off it in 1st but better in 2nd but would like to see ralston play.
    Robson- been needed dropped for a while now.
    Scobbie- struggled first half but saw him leading abit more in 2nd imo.
    Durnan- thank f*** we have him tbh. looks the only one who stands up and be's counted.
    Quinn- not a midfielder! wonder what gilliespie or slater is thinking when hes played ahead of them?
    Flood- probably only player who looked interested but wasnt backed up much in 1st.
    Stanton- poor game by his standards. needs to play simple
    Smith- looked like a big shot in the first half. 2nd was abit better but need to see more if hes going to be the future imo
    King- shows glimpses of what he can do but decision making is poor. needs to play simple aswell
    Mikkelson- no service! straight balls up to him arent going to much for him. at least he scored so positive. 2/2

    Mcdonald- actually thought SM made a difference. looked up for it and showed some decent touches. linked up well with few guys.
    Fraser- only on for 5mins but some decent touches. if he can get up to speed quickly and not get nailed could be the boost we need.
    Mcmullan- looked dangerous needs to start on tuesday imo unlucky he didnt score (some save)

    for tuesday!
    Lewis
    Ralston durnan scobbie robson
    Flood stanton
    Mcmullan mcdonald king
    mikkelson

    tempted to bring in a slater or gilliespie

    mcdonald has proven he cant play in that roll so why try that?

    Deniz (wont happen)
    Ralston durnan scobbie (or mosni) robson (or scobbie)
    mcmullan stanton gillespie king
    Phil McD

    If Fraser fit i would replace him with stanton. Briels if he can come back would be my other option to replace gillespie

    i disagree i think Mcdonald can play as no.10 if he has movement around him and if your chasing the game more you and move him higher up playing off mikkelson like he was yesterday.

    Dont want Scobbie at left back imo. i know robson should be dropped id be more in favor of bringing in Mason rather than moving scobbie tbh

    If Mason’s not going to get a game in front of Robson the way he’s been playing should just get sent home and forgotten about...........no idea why he was signed now!

    very good point. look at the signings CL has made

    Slater- hardly played
    Gilliespie- hardly played
    Mason- played once
    Mikkelson- only one who does play
    two french boys- hardly played
    Lyng- less said the better
    Ralston- will he be the same?

    Please be a 4-4-2.

    Agree pretty much with Darren’s team above.

    Don’t play 4-2-3-1 though play 4-4-2. Mikk and McD make sense as front two. Don’t play either of them in midfield - it doesn’t work, it hasn’t worked and it shouldn’t. McD is a striker and has no pace to be in mid. Mikk is target man and should be up front.

    2 strikers please!

    ....also if fraser is back what about midfield diamond. Flood/Stanton at back, any 3 from McM, King, Matty S and Fraser to fill other 3 space on wings and attacking mid

    what about midfield diamond
    the way the players are relating to each other we could play an entire dodecahedron with trigonometrical variations and they still wouldn't pass straight to each other.

    Keep it a simple 3-4-3 and put the other side on the defence from the off.
