I think i would find somewhere in the team for Dillon.

He has been solid this season and done nothing to merit being dropped.

More often than not when he plays,we keep a clean sheet.

Better option than Dillo at LB, due to offensive capabilities well demonstrated when he could've notched a couple.

But is Pates any better at RB than Dillo?

got forward mair than Dillon imo

Is he any better at RB defensively and offensively?

Not a criticism of Pates, playing out of position, and, if I was to make an unique criticism of Jackie - Stretch should never be 1 of the 2.
 

Stretch shouldnae be one of the 11 at the mo.

Big problem is, I've been touting Stretch as our best prospect for almost 5 years and for the last six months, for a variety of reasons, he's no been.

That includes tonight when he was played in his 6th least favourite position.

Disagree 'Well had a 10 minute spell.

Thought they looked dangerous on the counter attack a few times tonight.

They rattled the inside of the post fae Ainsworth and also had a perfectly good goal chopped off fae the same player.Ojaama should also have buried that at the end.

Ultimately they were more clinical than us for all our pretty passing.

 

Having slept on it my reflections are:
We played excellent stuff 1st half but unlike the Hibs game were just not clinical enough.
Having to change half the team around to try and accommodate one under-performing player who looks like he's not that interested anyway is not worth the bother.
The one and only time Souttar and Rankin let Sutton get the better of them we lost a goal.
GMS should just go in January.
We will hammer Motherwell in the cup game.

If Brian Graham had been still with us we'd have won last night. Not a popular point of view but its the truth.

Really fortunate there, boy well onside.

Yep...Ainsworth was well onside and Connoly was indeed 'just' offside (when he hit the poist anyways).

Going by that, and the several other chances that Motherwell had......I would have to conclude that Motherwell were by far the more dangerous side and deserved to win the match overall.

Agree with your last point sir. 
 

Spittal should've started at RB.

I thought Townsend did well btw.

Should have buried his first headed chance right enough.But kudos to him for getting in attacking positions.

Based on last night Dillon would be my LB. Townsend was shocking defensively, yes he got forward but very little quality in his final ball.  Hopefully it was a one off.

I think and now this is me thinking but jac mac is putting together a team for next season when the 2 hunz are back i think we have a great squad but it looks like he is trying to suss them all out...probably wrong but hope to fuk im spot on

Thats a fair shout GMS wont be here. I'd be amazed if Armstrong or Ciftci were here either. 

We should be targetting 2nd though. I know some folk seem to think that Celtic are there for the taking but thats nonsense talk. Read elsewhere that just trying to be in the top 4 every season wasn't much ambition but I don't see what else we can do tbh.

Sare ane last night.

they are pish

i'd be mightily pissed aff if i was Telfer ,Morris ,Ciftci or Butcher -dropped for no apparent reason.

Squad rotation will never work for us.

Anyway Connolly should be given preference to GMS from now on in -as GMS has stated his intention to do one.

I would start Connolly before GMS ana. Not because GMS is leaving but because Connolly has offered more in the last 3 games than GMS has done so far this season. 
 

Morris and Ciftci are suspended for cup tie. 

We'll fucking murder them in thon cup game
