It's clear that Stevie G has his favourites. For eg Goldson, Kamara, tav etc.
I believe the coming weeks are coming to be SG most important time. Still can't believe we lost against Hearts.
So. looks like we are trying to get shot of Brandon Barker, JJ (if we do I will be raging) possible recall to Jack Hastie.
Problem is it's late in the window and it's going to be tough to move these guys on. Hand on heart I think we had a very slim chance to win the league but now I dont. We lack quality in our squad. I said it months ago that we need to start rotating the squad. What do people see in Kamara? Yes he has some nice touches but he's too lightweight and isint the type of MF we need. I don't want to just single him out but we need strength and pace. Not one of our MF's has that. Striker wise too. We've bough so many duff MF's that we haven't even looked at a striker. We rely on a guy at 37 to run the channels etc when Morelos gets suspended. Never going to happen.
So. SG you've done great up until now but you have to start giving people chances. By that I mean don't do your usual like bring in them for one game and then bench them. Get Dochery in the team for a start. he's got pace and power and can score goals. Davis can't play week in week out. Nether can Defoe. CB you also need to start introducing Edmunsson. I know Hellander is injured but he's too slow and probably more suited to European football. Leave Polster where he is and don't let Flannagin near that team. Let JJ back in team. he's pacey and direct. Other than Kent we don't have that. A Striker on loan has to be a priority. I hear Shankkdnd mentioned which will never happen. we should have signed him before he went to Dundee utd. This is when the pressure is going to start to increase big time. Another thing get OJO back to Liverpool. he's not interested.

Well said AS1974. Agree with all of this although I still believer we can win the title. It’ll be nip and tuck and both sides will drop points. Would like to see the game in hand played sooner rather than later although that doesn’t look likely.

Ibrox for me. I think if we had more depth then I agree but we dont. It's clear we are trying to cut down the wage bill but we have the likes of Halliday etc taking a wage for nothing. Murphy could have been pivotal to the run in. We can't let Doc go or JJ. it's either that or SG is coming to bring in some youth which I can't see happening.
