    Totally agree. I wouldn't have brought him on either. One training session. Last night wasn't the night for his first senior game. If he's the defensive midfielder he's been described as, then he wasn't what we needed last night either. By the time we'd got control of the match Levitt was actually doing alright.

    Did they not have a 20 year old loanee on from the start last night? If they can throw him in why can't we? And if he's not ready for senior football then what the **** is he doing here?

    Who was like a deer caught in the headlights at the start who we should've and could've exploited. Our main problem is creativity in midfield, can't see what a defensive minded young boy is gonna do to change that.

    Freeman was injured. Smith had to come on. He did very well too.

    They did but they're desperate for fullbacks. Cammy Kerr at left back for example. He was also sh!te and got hooked shortly after half time. Just bcause the Fun did it, doesn't mean its right. Plenty of time for the boy to get game time once he's accustomed to Scottish football. We didn't need him last night.

    This season's league is full of gash and if we are not challenging for top 6 then it's incompetence by Tony and Tam.
    The positives, our defence and goalie positions, solid and enough strength in depth to rotate.
    Watt, clearly has the bite and the ability.
    Negatives are clear, the rest of the positions.

    If Tony thinks the players he's provided are good enough then Tam is either playing the wrong team or the wrong system, or the players are doing their own thing.

    We need consistency and relying on Harkes, Pawlett, Clark etc to have the odd moment isn't good enough.

    The solution is clear we need better quality either with recruitment or coaching.
    We've missed our chance for recruitment so Tam needs to grow a pair and play what he believes is his best 11 and own it.
    Give them a run of games and ignore the noise from the crowd and social media.
    If this doesn't get results then Tony is left with no options in the summer window.

    So you would've dropped which one of Harkes (decent record in derbies) or Levitt (full Welsh international) for a 20 year old who's never played a full game at senior level in a ***** derby match after arriving the day before the game? You're at the capers now surely.

    Well I wouldn't have played 3 strikers that's for sure, 3 strikers and no shots on target. I'm not at anything, just giving my opinion. You dont have to read my posts you know, and I'm not going to get into another debate with you which ends up with you dishing out the abuse again so have a nice day.

    Agree, shoehorn 3 strikers into the team then you have no balance and no striker to come one, well played Tam
