    Our best central defender this season has been O'Connor. O'Connor has no pace and neither does Arnason - to pair them up would be suicidal against pacey front men. So basically Reynolds needs to be there alongside either O'Connor or Arnason. Arguably O'Connor hasn't done anything dramatically wrong to merit being dropped, so he retains the starting jersey until such a time comes that Arnason can come in. Arnason will then have to merit keeping that place, because he was utterly stinking in the one opportunity he's had so far. Not sure where the new guy fits in - most likely the bench.
    Although in the 1 game that Arnason did start, he was paired up with O'Connor.
    Reynolds came on to replace Arnason who was not having the best of games.

    I don't know why people keep bringing up the fact Arnason didn't play well against Hamilton.He was no worse in that game than Reynolds and Considine have been playing at centre back this season.

    I have stuck up for Reynolds in the past but he has looked incredibly nervous in every game he has played this season yet he keeps getting picked,and Considine has and always will be a disaster waiting to happen at centre back.
