-> 2. Doc - was everywhere last night, felt sorry for him at times, having to cover the whole pitch mainly due to the front 3s inability to actually hold onto the fkn ball

On the one hand, I think Doc, along with KLP and Magennis just aren't on their game at the moment for some reason. But on the other hand, you make a fair point. Add to that the fact that last night, his sitting midfielder Smallwood thought it was a good idea to time and again drop so deep that he was in or even at times behind the back 4 picking up the ball looking to pass it to .... err .... to pass it to where Smallwood should have been. If you are a central midfielder, surely you sit in midfield and take the ball from there. Let the CB's play it to you and do your stuff in midfield not from behind the back 4.
Meanwhile McCann and Byrne sit or stand motionless in their area.

McCann is a rabbit in the headlights. Drop Wilks as he's out of his depth, L1 standard. Try starting Smith because he was more threat in 15 minutes than Wilks was in 75.

Played well first half just lacked a finisher. 2nd half the less said the better.

Docherty for his effort (although he looks way less effective than last season).
