Strange line up yet again,hopefully we manage to get the job done though.

To play a left back at centre half when you have two centre backs on the bench is slightly baffling,I get not starting ojala as the last thing we want is him getting injured again in a game like that but there wasn't a better time to play oconnor.

The team selection on saturday was baffling,carroll can't get a game in his natural position but he gets brought in at centre half when we have two defenders on the bench,I think this would have been an ideal game to give o'connor some minutes.saturday showed yet again that maguire and donnelly shouldn't be in the team at the same time,there both far to slow in possession,which would be fine if we had just the one in the team and there role was to keep it simple and move the ball onto others but both in a three man midfield just doesn't work,we have some decent options to pick from in midfield,hopefully we see atleast one change for the hibs game.like maz in the post above I think we would have been a couple up had van veen started,there was 3 or 4 times in the first half where there was a decent ball in from out wide and none of our forwards were in a position to do anything about it,if we had a natural centre forward on the park,I think we would have been up by half time.i think we need another striker to compete with van veen through the middle,it would be madness to rely on just him as our main source of goals for the rest of the season.

He does look a good prospect,he looks the type that wants to get on the ball and doesn't lack confidence.

Don't get me wrong,play like we did today against aberdeen and we will get put out.as much as it's a boring draw,it's actually a decent chance of progressing into the next round.our cup performances so far this season have been terrible and there will need to be much improvement to go any further in this cup.

There is nothing to fear from playing aberdeen,that's just a fact.

Boring draw,for as shit as we were today,there's nothing to fear playing aberdeen at home.

We got out of jail big time.the positives are far and few between,tierney looks like he will be a good addition playing in the number 10 position,he's good decent vision and he actually moves when he's passed the ball unlike some of our other midfielders,today should be the end of playing 3 that are there to play goal side of the ball.we need another striker,the options we have there right now won't do for the rest of the season.were through that's the main thing but there's definitely some alarm bells ringing after the last two performances.

The players on the park during the week were shocking,they should have had enough about them not to lose to a 10 man ross county team,alexander was right to be raging but today it's on him,wrong team selection from the start.we never took the league cup seriously so it's no surprise we have chucked a performance like this in today.

Maguire has been decent enough but the other two have been awful,how they have lasted to this point is beyond me.

We're getting what we deserve,we've been shocking from the first minute.

His decision making in this game has been shocking.

We've had a couple of decent chances other than that we have huffed and puffed,were playing into there hands with the slow tempo and constant fouls from either side.donnolly has been anonymous,there's options on the bench get him off at the break.

Agreed,strange to either bring carroll in at centre back or shift mcginley in there when ojala is sitting on the bench,I would have rather oconnor came in and played beside sondre than either of the first two.

I'm not overly convinced by that team selection,I was hoping slattery and cornelius were going to come in.if morton's defence is slow they could be in trouble as we have gone with pure pace up front today.

Imrie does hate us,it's known.

I would like to see 2 or 3 changes from midweek but wouldn't be surprised if alexander goes with the same starting 11 to try and let some make amends.imrie hates us and will have his team fired right up,we can't afford to take our eye off the ball here.if we start fast and are up for it then I think we will win by a couple but if this is one of they games that's pure turgid and it's 0-0 deep in the second half,then I'll definitely have the fear.

Mcginley had a howler for there second goal but the way we seemed intent on shooting ourselves in the foot,if it wasn't him that messed up it was going to be someone else.we should have got a lift after equalising and them going a man down but there was no reaction whatsoever.we should have been patient and tried to work them out of position but all we did was stupid chipped balls forward,van veen is decent when the ball is coming in the box from out wide but he doesn't look the type that wants to battling centre halfs all game with high punts up the park.i said earlier that tonight was the perfect example of how not to play against 10 men,shocking stuff.alexander looked fuming at the end,hopefully there's some words exchanged on the bus on the way down.imrie will have morton fired up there's no doubt about that,if we approach the cup game like we did tonight,we could be in real trouble.

We will definitely miss watt there is no two ways about it,I just hope alexander is at it when he says he's not looking to replace him,we can't go the rest of the season with the options that we have,there just isn't enough goals in them.

Don't apologise,mcginley is a bombscare.

We seem to always be shite after any break,tonight has to be up there with the worst though.

The minute they went down to 10 men we should have went right at them but it's been all to pedestrian,we equalise and they get a man sent off in a matter of minutes,the minimum we should have been going down the road with was a point but we have fucked it up big time.

We deserve all we're getting here,this is a prime example of how to not play against 10 men,the constant balls chipped forward is a joke.

Fuck sake mcginley
