People have been talking up O'Donnell. Against Livi he kicked it to no one and they broke and scored. At Ibrox he dived in and gave away a penalty. Versus St Mirren he was supposed to be marking Fraser who scored then today he kicks it to into the middle of the park to no one then 30 seconds later gives away a crazy penalty. 

He's probably a top earner as well. Get shot.

I might be wrong but I take it you aren't a fan of his? 😜

I don't think SOD is as bad as made out.   I am big Casey fan but he has been at fault for a few goals this season but that never gets mentioned by anyone.  Any time SOD makes a mistake it gets highlighted....yet hardly anyone will mention his assist for Bair in St Mirren game

Most of the defensive mistakes I've seen this season have been in the middle. Casey, Blaney and Butcher have all been culpable with some horrendous lapses in concentration when marking or just giving the ball away.

There was a long stretch this season when all Casey did was run about and give away fouls in dangerous areas.

SOD has his faults too - every player does - but when he's on his game he can at least pick out a pass and a cross. I've given up now on seeing full backs that can defend well, because that requirement has been eliminated from the modern game.

Our goalie's best form for a while?

Gent and Spencer are better at every aspect of the game than SOD. 

2 clean sheets in the last 36 matches. McGinn, O'Donnell and Kelly are senior players and need to carry the can.

He wont give us much in case he gets injured for his new team. Why do you think hes been playing well for just the last few months ,like a lot of players up their game in last months of their last season . Once he's got his move signed up he's on holiday mode . Pre contracts are a shite idea , but they probably have always been there in the back ground in some form or another for years just no offically signed

That's harsh mate, I accept that Spittal hasn't been as influencial in the last two or three games but to suggest that it's because of his move isn't acceptable. He's still working as hard as ever and who was it that got his head in the way of a certain goal at the back post?

 His drop in form might be down, in part, to the formation SK is fielding. Move Vale up beside Bair and slip Spittal in behind them.

Spot on Dave, Bair was very isolated on his own yesterday, we need two up front I'd have Davor, Spittal and Miller in behind them  with Gent and SOD as the two wingback as required.
