That is where I look to Critchley though because it’s not the first time it’s happened. What he’s trying to do is good and with a fitter team who could do it over 90 mins happy days we’ll probably win most league games but just now we’re not getting the job done first half and we’re strugglin’ second half.

Not sure how long it takes the players to get to the standard to be able to play at that intensity for more than 45 but just now we need to be a bit more clever with it. Ange’s celtic had this issue with a better squad, early doors when he took over if he couldn’t get the job done first half they looked vulnerable second half. Eventually they could do it over 90 but we need to get to that stage quickly.

That’s if some of these guys even have it in them.

There's an argument that he should play to our strengths (do we have any?) but I'm quite happy for him to say this is how we're going to play, if you can't hack it then we'll get players in who can.

Looks like he's already sussed out Mckay, Boyce and Halkett won't fit in which is promising.

I'd expect mobile, fit players in January if we can get some of the pish off the books.

My worry is who is going to take these players off our hands as they’ll be on decent dough.

Only saving grace is that a few of them are out of contract in January, so there’s a chance that they’ll sign pre contracts and then we can strike a deal to shift them in January.

Failing that, they’ll go in the summer. Monty Oh Well

If Gary Mackay-Steven could land a Jock Prem club after his Hearts stint, there'll be takers for the rest of them.

Boyce will score in his first game for Ross County and somebody on here will say, 'could have still done a job'. NAP.

Boyce will be back in Norn Iron for a swan song, sure he said he wanted to play for a team over there before he officially chucked it. Just let him go for free.

Some mugs down south will pay for Grant and Kent and McKay is a certainty to get a gig at a Motherwell/Dundee United.

There's no doubt that happens. If you can't score goals you're fucked. We really struggle to score.

This kid is like Bambi on ice 60% of the time but does not half put in a shift up and down the wing. Defensively especially yesterday he was excellent.

I'm still not sure why he was dropped after having a good game a few weeks ago. 
He might not be a prolific goal scorer, but he get's in the positions, he makes assists and tracks back like fuck.
