Slap in the face for Jack Leitch and Ross McLean if Chalmers is picked to play centre midfield. I also take it that this means McGhee is admitting that Laing in midfield was a mistake...?

Personally I'd go with Ripley Watt Kennedy Laing Hammell McLean Lasley Cadden Thomas Moult McFadden At least that team would put the effort in..

Go on, someone break it down for me. Whose fault is it this time..? I can't bear to listen to the guy...

Player wise today, McDonald did the best he could with what he had in terms of supply and Ripley stopped in being even more of a humiliation. Cadden played well and for the first time, I can see some promise in Dom Thomas. Johnson got two players of theirs booked and put in a few decent balls so he wasn't the worst. Rest of the starting eleven? Terrible doesn't cover it...

And yet, this manager keeps picking them. It's his job to try and get the best out of them. It's his job to motivate them. It's his job to coach individual errors out of their game. And if he can't do that, it's his job to drop them. There are alternatives, Thomas and Cadden proved that today by offering more than their more experienced colleagues. Laing and Kennedy get benched for a couple of poor games, McManus is fireproof. Frankly, enough is enough. The man is the wrong manager at the wrong time. The club must rectify its mistake now...

If you think it's only been two league games that we've been poor in, I know the name of a good optician...

That's the thing. It's one thing saying that people have had it in for McGhee since he came back but he's making it easy for them...

He'll be using his German contacts...

Personally would like to thank the guy that threw the flare. At the game, it prolonged the celebration. Afterwards, watching it back on TV, we get a lingering look at what a tabloid writer would describe as an ashen faced Cammy Bell... Mon the flares...

We're entitled to our opinions as are you. It's not hindsight to criticise the lineup or tactics if people are questioning the wisdom of it in the queue to get into the game. You may not blame McGhee but the buck stops with him and I'm sure he's aware of this although you wouldn't know it from his interviews...

Seriously? But when at Parkhead and a midfielder gets injured, go with two wingers and two strikers the entire second half. Laughable...

I didn't think we looked solid with Lasley on the field. But Moult for Lasley was the change about 60 minutes. By the time the change was made, Cadden (man of the match) was tiring and Moult should have been brought on for him. The shape was all wrong today. When your centre forward is having to go back to the centre circle to pick up the ball, you're too deep. Other aspect of our shape is by playing one out and out winger and the ball is always going to him, it's very easy for teams to shut you down. Particularly if certain players hold on to the ball too long. If Johnson is being doubled up on, we need to switch the play quickly and have someone providing width on the other side. Something which, on today's evidence, Cadden is capable of providing..

The entire shape of the team ensured that we couldn't retain the ball in the Inverness half. Inverness had several chances prior to getting the winner, it was coming...

Louis Moult is to blame for a goal that was coming 15 minutes before he came on? Aye, very good. There is only one individual to blame for that today. The guy that sent out a team that had us on the back foot for much of the game. Two or three individuals played poorly today but the shape was the problem. The manager is not nearly as clever as he thinks he is and when he tries to prove otherwise, it blows up in his face...

McGhee out. That is all...

A McGhee special. These are the eleven players I want to pick, where will I put them?

Followed up by Stephen Hughes at left wing vs St Mirren...

It's never his fault, is it.?

McDonald? Torn faced? Never... McGhee? Tactical mistakes? Surely not? Next thing people will be telling me the grass is green and the sky is blue...

Same as last season, generally incapable of seeing a game out whether in the lead or holding on for a draw. Concerning. Also concerning is the apparent shift to 343. Second McGhee tactical brainfart in four games...

A front three of McDonald Johnson Cadden?? Interesting...

Gomis for Moult? Playing for the draw then. Kennedy for Hall as well..

I wonder if McGhee criticising the ref's decision on Saturday went through the ref's mind...

What's happening, like?

Continuity is no bad thing. Even if Gomis gets the last half hour, that'll help for Saturday. Hopefully we won't need to bring him on. Another couple of days training with the team before the cup game won't do any harm...
