Some of that has been forced on him with injury and suspension, but the only time he has come close to fielding the same side was up in Perth after the Rangers game, when 10 retained their jerseys.

I looked at all the league sides Stendel has fielded and, with the exception of Walker, the other ten appear to be the most consistently selected, so I imagine it is close to what he regards as his strongest eleven. Whether it would be prudent to play 2-3 players who are returning from injury is open to question. I think many would recognise that that eleven would be a good footballing team, but whether they are physically and psychologically strong enough for a bottom six scrap is also open to question. So many questions and that's before addressing the goalkeeping situation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Got to win this one, lose and the inevitable feel of relegation will take over. To be fair if we can't beat Hamilton at home in 2 attempts then we deserve to be relegated. Just change the keeper to give us half a chance. That gormless fool in goals will just make everyone inside the stadium nervous. The players reaction to the first goal on Wednesday said it all for me.

Our manager is hardly proving to be the superstar many on here told us to expect and none of this he's just in nonsense..... He has failed to sign a new goalkeeper and there is NO excuse for that He has failed to replace one of the worst goalkeepers we have had in recent history with others within the club and Zlamal must be shaking his head thinking what he is doing sitting on the bench ..even the youth goalies will be thinking that. He has failed to change tactically when all the evidence tells him he needs to do so He brings in and takes out players with no plan it seems He has already signed duds it seems He has been given resources to change and failed to use them all He even hated the fact the players fought back from 3-0 down and almost snatched a point because it wasn't his way of playing So time to get the finger out Daniel, adapt or die and you seem to be on a long walk to dying. He has been given far too easy a ride by the fans who seem scared to even discuss his poor performance so far. Can we change him at this stage ?..prob not and should we change him ?..prob not as even I like to give people time but he cannot continue this way or we are going down. Lose the next 2 matches and normally it would be time to go (not that he will)...win the next 2 and he'll be right to say we are on our way but I still have doubts This situation is testing my faith in the manager to breaking point and if he takes us down he has to go lets be clear on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big game for us big risk but we won’t know how good or ready he is if we don’t give him the chance. As for Meshino I think he’s the best of what we have for options to play out wide from what’s left available to what I’ve picked. Henderson, Moore & McDonald haven’t set the heather on fire when in the side & this could be the game for Meshino to finally get back on track. 7 minutes ago, GinRummy said: Take it White is out then?
