Our strongest xi is good enough to win the league and now it's not the time for a manager change, that's crazy talk it really is, nuts in these circumstances but knee jerkers will knee jerk

Select the best team, that includes grim at right back etc, don't select Meekison or Grieve to start another game, save Thomson as an option off bench and hopefully Docherty isn't far away if what thearab said about fitness test he can't be far away
When are you gonna wake up and stop hiding behind whats gone before and actually realise that this team have consistently demonstrated that they are just not good enough!

You say its self inflicted by team selection, but you totally ignore that there might be a very valid reason for using the squad. First and obvious is 5 games in 15 days, Doc out injured, Kai, Middleton, Watt, Moult, Grimshaw, McMann all off the boil, Grieve i thought did better last night, but that is a relative remark, and Cudjoe is baffling and we loose Spoons 10 minutes into that 5 game stint! If these players are considered as part of the best match day squad, the only way that works is if they can be bothered to turn up!

As for best starting 11, i think Thomson is maybe a slightly better option than Grim at RB. Didnt do too much wrong last night, and if he can bring that improvement into the next couple of games, Grim can be free to partner Sibbald for the time being.

Absolutely hate this, get a player in, give him 1 start, expect him to be a world beater and drop him if he doesnt have a good game. Meekieson and Mochrie, Glass to an extent, are the epitome of how bad that is for a player! Fine, they should never be played together, but either of them should be given a chance with any 2 from Doc/Sibbald/Grim/Spoons behind them. Sadly though, i do have a thought that we are about to loose a player in Meekieson to that injury curse that prevents a player coming back to his full potential.

Im not done with JG yet, but......
