My own starting preference would be Griffiths, Campbell, Bielik, Phillips and Styles at the back, Molumby and Mowatt midfield, Mikey and Ollie Bostock on the wings and then Grant behind Heggabo. Tbh, I think we all think much within the same parameters simply because we have seen which players/formation have performed best. In times of trouble it seems prudent to stick with what you know rather than risk too much experimentation.

For all the totally understandable doom and gloom, I think we need also to stop and remind ourselves that this group of players can play and certainly have the ability to be achieving far more than they have. One of the glaring issues from last night was the lack of grit and determination and given our quite appalling run of losses of course an element of lack of self- belief and confidence will creep in. This is when leaders step in, whether from the head coach or from amongst the players themselves. One thing that won't help this however will be being also forced into playing an alien style of football with extremely little time to adapt and under a lot of pressure to achieve results.

I tend to agree with Swedish though and don't think that Ramsay will consider turning away from his differing approach and his interviews so far certainly don't indicate anything other than him wanting to impress upon them his own preferred formation and tactics.

If Ramsay persists like this then I think I would have preferred Morrison to carry on for a bit until a more proven manager could be found. At least he knows the players and which positions they are best suited to as well as being prepared to give our youngsters a chance. I know Al would be happy to see us rid of him because he sees him as being part of our problem but I'm not so sure and honestly don't know how much influence he has on the head coach in terms of selection or tactics. I thought Mozza's post-cup game interview was pretty spot on.

Not much time for a re-set before Derby so let's hope Ramsay can prove us all wrong!
