Doig went off injured minutes later, so it's pretty clear Mugabi caught him on the follow through. Making contact with the ball is a side issue now. VAR doesn't give a toss what minute of the game it is and would've replayed it till they found an angle that justified a red. Roberts would probably have gone too.

People can decide on the wisdom of his changes, I'm simply pointing out most of them are not due to injury or illness.

In the last 4 games the only players unavailable for the team or subs bench were Van Veen (missed the Rangers game), McGinley (missed the first 3 games) and O'Hara (missing today). There were 2 changes for Ross County, 4 for Dundee and 4 today. Changing the team/squad is clearly Alexander's choice, it's certainly not being forced on him.

Imagining we are going to make the top 6, that would be optimism.

Is McGinley a fuckin ghost?

We'll see how it goes, but you know fine well people aren't reacting because of one team selection.

This is a head on the block team selection. Hope to god it works, but if it doesn't, you'd have a hard job defending Alexander.

If the Russians launch a nuclear strike, only Liam Donnelly would survive.

Isn't somebody getting paid to do that?

Keep morale high? That's working a treat.

So Alexander's changed his mind about the Ross County performance? I suppose viewing that 90 minutes again was too much, even for him. Also telling that he constantly talks about both boxes, both ends of the pitch, but never seems to delve into our midfield issues. If he's no keen on these games being scrappy affairs, he could always ditch the hoofball and employ some tactics instead. If.

We already know what Burrows thinks.

I'd be interested to hear how long you'll be willing to watch this style of football, given the manager clearly doesn't have an issue with it.

I think it's only fair we let the man speak first....

I think the players have realised he hasn't a scooby.

It negates the shitness of our midfield.

Throwing a shy straight out for another shy.

...for purpose.

Lamie plays.

The close contacts who are isolating obviously haven't had their booster, then. Surely that has an effect should Dundee ask/have to postpone?

As much as I dislike him, the first thing Jim Goodwin said in his post match interview last night was, there's no point in trying to pull the wool over the fans eyes, that was nowhere near good enough. I know he's trying to keep on their good side for now, and I know they have delusions of grandeur, but a bit of honesty goes a long way. Our problem is, Alexander IS being honest too. If their keeper had thrown the ball into his own net at the death, or that penalty hadn't been given, he wouldn't have had any worries about how we'd played. It's survival football, for us and him, nothing more. Stick or twist?

And the fact we're handing longer contracts out to utter dross shows he has no ambition to improve the quality of our play. That's depressing enough, but when you look at the teams around us...

Alexander said it himself after the game - it's not the performance that concerns him, it's the result. That's clearly been the case since he arrived, so no one should expect it to change for the duration of his stay. The long term negative effects of crowds being asked to watch shite like that, week in/week out, have to become an issue sooner or later.

He wasn't the worst, but 3 consecutive misplaced passes does tend to highlight individuals' failings. And we were beaten by a team that played the bloody ball back to him 3 times in a row. Aye, we were shocking tonight. I don't really know what they were trying to do - getting Alexander the boot would've been as good a guess as any, given that performance.

3 failed attempts in a row by Donnelly to find a teammate. Pathetic.
