No defensive midfielder, a striker bereft in confidence and out best left back as DM. It’s about as mad as the midfield Neilson played in THAT rangers game.

JamboJoker98 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Not seeing a lot of creativity in midfield which will be tough against the inevitable 10 men behind the ball for 90 mins.

Not saying we will win with what we have out still think we are going to struggle to make chances with who we have in midfield. Not 100% convinced Denholm is ready yet and would have tended to start Grant over him but let’s hope we go out on the front foot and can score a few goals for a change.
