    The club will act in January by addressing the disaster that was the summer transfer window.

    Tonight was a game that was crying out for 2 or 3 changes after Sunday and we had almost no options to do that.

    I’d disagree with that to be fair.

    He had, Gullan, Allan, Stevenson, Gogic, dare I say it Wright with enough experience to put in a shift and supply some fresh legs to the first 11.

    That’s not inspiring. At all.

    100% agree

    But that’s what Ross has to work with and to freshen the 11 up after Sunday those players all have enough game time to came in and offer the squad rotation option. Don’t think it would have changed the score or performance but point im making is Ross was too focused on sticking with what worked against rangers when in reality it was a totally different game tonight.

    Poor tactics, judgment, what ever you want to call it

    Sorry I couldn’t disagree more, it just lays bare how awful our summer window was. When 2 of our loanees couldn’t even get on the bench it shows how poor it was.

    I don’t think that falls on Ross’s shoulders.

    I think a part must be on Ross shoulders.
    Mathie has been punted cause of it.

    Was Ross not strong enough demanding more players.

    He has been unlucky with injuries, but every team in the world gets injuries.

    Were you privy to all that went on behind the scenes?

    Tell us what exactly JR could have done to prove his strength by being more ‘demanding’? Shouting? Throwing things?

    Agree that they’re different games but that doesn’t necessarily mean you change the system or players. The players out there tonight and in the positions they were in had more than enough to win tonight.

    We made a lot of decent chances but never took them.

    I’d hate to see the players & fans reaction if he had changed it at all after Sunday’s performance. He would have got crucified if he changed it and we lost.

    Think your right

    My concern is the squad depth.

    There is literally nothing there. Ross clearly can’t or won’t change he has 12/13 players he clearly only sees fit to start. The rest will know their time is coming to an end. How it got to this I don’t know.

    I agree. However, some of the players who JR might have brought in tonight, but were left on the bench are among those who will be moved on in January. I think JR, for whatever reason, was loathe to give them a start tonight, in favour of the winning team from Sunday. It backfired on him big time and, although I’m pro JR, I think he’s only a couple of games away from a crisis.

    I think every player listed there would have weakened us tonight.

    Obviously they would have provided fresher legs but I would argue it just proves the point about our lack of strength in depth when we are suggesting guys like Gogic, Gullan and Wright as options to freshen things up.

    Rough result against an awful side. Sounded like it could've gone either way and we didn't take chances. No need to meltdown, we go again.

    Yes no point changing the team when it only makes it weaker.
