    Or......... just play 2 in midfield again and yet again get overrun ???

    I totally understand we need to get as many points as possible in various/any way, and happy with them so far.

    But, please..... no explainations as why 2 can be 4 or even 5........ etc.. Solidify that midfield, no matter what it takes.

    And I'll disagree again as the point I was making is we aren't leaking goals due to the system, it's more the injuries, particularly Graham, for me there was a much bigger chance we'd not have conceded both goals v Hibs at home, the one Vs the sheep , Motherwells first or Hibs at the weekend if he was on the park given where the goals stemmed from (his area)

    I don't think we have a strong enough CB pairing right now to be confident starting with 4 we at the back without Graham either, just need to see how exposed we looked against ten men on Saturday where Hibs looked the more likely to win it in stoppage time

    I think it would be an error and see an even bigger chance of leaking goals than we have been recently, if it isn't broke don't fix especially as Graham is nearly back

    That's where we both stand right now

    So for me 3 CBs on Saturday

    So why the f*ck does the manager have Ferry defending the position normally occupied by our LCB Graham when we have Holt playing LCB? That's not down to injuries,that's down to tactical ineptitude surely? Let's be honest here,you have a habit of excusing poor performances continuously throughout the season. Yes I'd like our injured players back undoubtedly but they are not an excuse for going timidly onto the pitch as far as I'm concerned, we need to be playing to win from the outset.

    Moult been injured since playing on that plastic pitch. We've been robbed of his services because the SFA thought it would be good to allow plastic pitches for professional teams. What a lot of keech. Is this the last season of them?

    Think I read somewhere Graham and moult were 50/50, would be amazed if they were involved. No mention of docherty of course.

    7 clubs are appealing the decision to ban them. F off with that.

    The SPFL have said they'll assist with a one off pitch transition payment. Wonder if they'll have the balls to stick to their decision.
