Anyone watching the last game would have seen Doc take a sore one to his back early on, an impact injury which can happen to any player, I don't accept that he's a sicknote.

I believe its his hamstring that went in training
 

So much for managing him in training then.

we went 4-0 up against Morton in the 58th min , Doch never went off till the 82nd min, game was done after 58 mins
 

2-0 dundee united

If Docherty is out i recon it will be Tilson that comes in. The way we play just now  it might be ok

I think a lot of people have been influenced by watching Utd under perform in big games and see the manager being incapable / unable of changing things ( last 3 games were forced changes to centre half’s and only Grimshaw was the exception for the Morton game )

I Agree I dont think he is upto the job long term. But what I'm saying is bringing in a completely new squad, especially with this manager, might not work as well as it did for Dundee.

Maybe we should not spend a penny on our ground and blow it all on players

I get 100% what you are saying and what I can't understand is that you can't see what is so obvious, those boys and as tough/hard as it sounds wont make it.

It not there, they don't have it.

At 4-1, again he done the right thing. It wasn't a mad panic, we comfortably seen the game out and left that shithole with three points.

Looking forward though,let's just enjoy the next few weeks, we have certainly earned it.

When you are 4-1 up, away from home, and the league is as tight as it is, you want the last 20 minutes to be as uneventful as possible.The fact is that the league hasn't been won yet, and too many times I've seen United throw it all away when in better positions than this (I'm talking more about cups than league races, but still ....). I've got no problem with making the safest, most boring decisions that are going to kill the game as a spectacle, to ensure we get the result. I don't think bringing on the likes of Mochrie, Meekison or McLeod is a "risk" as such, but it could leave us slightly more exposed than bringing on a midfield clogger like Tilson. 4-2 up with 15 minutes to go and suddenly the game isn't done and dusted. It also has nothing to do with a lack of trust in the younger players - it's about horses for courses. You wouldn't be 2-1 up against Celtic at Parkhead with 15 to go and replace Billy Kirkwood with Graeme Payne.
I expect to see more of these younger lads (and less of Tilson) when or if we get to being 6 ahead with 2 games left.
 

Agree.
​
I'd go further
I wondered at playing Grimshaw as a preference to an in form Miller Thompson ? To me the answer being obvious, that you'd put on a big solid ham of a player on a shitey night at shithole place like Cappielow. He's well suited to and familiar with the place. I'm no fan of rotation for it's own sake, but bottom line was a win after that getting on bus home with no injuries. Hence Grimshaw.
