I think that's a bit harsh on Sparrow at RB - he's been pretty solid and makes some really good last ditch tackles.
2 mistakes v Hibs and Celtic have just put a little blot on his report card of late
(And to add I know it's not just yourself that has said it)
I'd make a few changes here
Ward
Sparrow
Welsh
McGinn
O'Donnell
Watt
Fadinger
Just
Maswanhise
Norwegian Guy
McFadden
Slattery and Said - I'm choosing to drop out, for a few reasons.
We've gone from winning title chat to struggling to finish 4th.
I mean we're still just 5 pts behind Champions League qualification.
Long way to go for chat, in both directions.
Funnily enough if Said scores a tap in against Aberdeen in the first half (or any of the other good chances we had in that game) - we would have subbed the key men off earlier and load balancing would have been easier.
Not to say that JBA wouldn't have made the same changes, just giving an additional point across.
Being more ruthless and clinical allows us that platform.
One of the things is to accept that the manager is a modern manager, with style, tactics and squad rotation.
What we know is that the squad is not yet ready yet for these challenges.
I will also say that the big striker is way off the pace.
It hurts much more because that team were great and could and should have won something
somehow the management team denied us a legacy by not signing a semi decent keeper
