Inflato

Penney has been part of a collectively very poor defensive line-up and has been miles off it for the past few weeks. Teams, most recently Hibs, have been successfully targeting our left-hand side. Overall I felt Penney steadily regressed during his time here, and it'll certainly be interesting to see who Hammell replaces him with.

Surely Hammell has to mix up the starting 11 here? If Blaney doesn't start then it makes a complete mockery of his signing. Penney should be dropped, as presumably his loan is coming to an end (and he's been dug meat for weeks). The boy Miller has been talked-up so deserves a start, and the likes of Tierney surely deserves a full 90? Unfortunately I fear we may see more of the same starting 11 as the gaffer fears a defeat would cost him the gig.

I've never really understood the argument that centre-halves need to be opposite footed, it seems to be another modern football obsession. Right now we just need them to be able win headers and clear the fucking ball.

Cup game next week gives him the perfect opportunity to mix the team up a bit. Will be interesting to see if he does though, because losing the tie will have folk demanding a public flogging by chief henchman Bob "badboy" Park.

Big Aldo is no a bad player, but a bit lightweight for a centre-half. His assistant is a bit more beefy right enough and would certainly fill a gap.

At the madam surely! 😄

McKinstry took his goal well, but I thought he was very wasteful in the second half. Indeed, some of the possession he lost would've had the likes of Shields crucified. But still, "one of our own" and that...

Or maybe, like most of his team, he just can't be arsed.

A team of cowards.
