How can you possibly drop Proctor, he was by far the best player on the pitch today.

We have better players than Proctor

Think you'll find that is where he ended up playing today until Dougie was subbed off and he was the best player on the pitch. But I suppose you're right then.

Yes i am right our whole midfield swaps round every week

Everyone else knows better

Is Eric fit for this one?

Couldbe interesting if he is, would defo have him on the bench.

Don't see how you can't include a player who has scored 100% of your teams goals in the last 2 games.

Well he's being traning for the last 2/3 weeks so hopefully its only a matter of time before he's back

Strangely enough, I've been wondering this week about how Proctor might play in central midfield. Cox has faded since the start of the season - Duncan was the better player against Raith - and I'd like to see both Sanchez and Imrie in the team. Moving Imrie wide left, putting Hayes wide right and moving Proctor into the middle might work - Prcotor's passing can be a bit dodgy, but he's got a great engine and in periods when we are under pressure he could add an extra line of defence and allow Sanchez to drop deeper and provide the link to Foran and to the wings. I don't see anything laughable about BA's suggestion.

He played an hour of that bounce game so he may well feature next week.

Proctor is only good at RB. When he plays in RM he'll run the whole way but doesnt get back to help the RB out

Who mentioned anything about playing RM. I have said to play him the middle of the pitch so he would not be providing cover for RB that would be the person who would be playing on the right wing.

How's this?

Whoever is on the wing "trying" to support the strikers is swaping around everytime the ball goes out of play. You'll have Hayes on one side and Eagle on the other and then out of nowhere they change and TB lets his both wingers keeping switching around which isnt good for anyclub

What makes you think he would be good cover for CM than RB?

Right so where does this involve our "whole" midfield like you stated in your post?

I don't agree. He's not the most creative right midfielder and his crossing can be very frustrating, but he works extremely hard in that position, in both directions. If you cast your mind back, you'll remember that he played a number of games at right midfield during our best run of last season. Besides, that isn't really addressing the point I made: why is it so ridiculous to assume that Proctor might be able to perform a role in central midfield, even in the short term?

Well if he had a bounce surely that means he's on his way back?

I think McBain did enough today to merit a place in the starting 11 next week. Seems the obvious replacement for Hayes if he's still injured by then?
