Esson :D :D :D Not a great deal to do, apart from picking the ball out of the net and getting sent off

Tokely :D :D :D :D :D My man of the match again this week, maybe the captains armband awaits

McMagics :D :D :D :D Solid again, sacrificed when Esson red carded, but no reflection on his performance.

Grantie :015: sorry Grant, but that was another ineffective performance from someone we need to be leading by example. Maybe getting rid of the armband will relieve the tension.

Lionel :D :P Not his best game, left exposed at times and getting some stick for the first goal.

Proctor :D :D :D Put in a decent shift, but no goal threat from him, still doing better than expected.

Black :D :D Once again not at his best, caught up in some verbals and never got to grips with the midfield, just too frantic for him to get his foot on the ball and create.

Duncan :D :D Poor game from Russell and rightly hooked to make way for Barrowman

Foran :D :D :D tried hard but not his most productive position, get him up front now.

Rooney :D :D :D Also worked hard, missed good chance in first half from tight angle, close on a couple of occasions in second half but eventually blocked/crowded out, more pace needed.

Imrie :D :D Dougie has gone off the boil, missed a volley by yards, still plenty energy but not using it to good effect.

Subs :D one emoticon for turning up between the three of them.

Away fans :thumb04: :018: ;) give yersels a clap

Why did TB sacrifice Pavels when the obvious choices were Granty or Lionel?

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

ESSON :015: :D He actually showed a lot of urgency and did well when he had to. His frustration got the better of him but having watched the Setanta highlights I thought that he was rather unlucky to get sent off - It looked like a slightly mistimed, genuine challenge for the ball. Still it was by the books a yellow but not a straight red and he would have gone anyway.

ROSSCOE :thumb04: :018: ;) :D MOM - What he sometimes misses in skill and dexterity he makes up for with toil, sweat and effort. He REALLY looked as if he was dying fer the cause - and that is what we are going to need in the next few weeks.

PAVELS :P :021: :D :D For 60 minutes looked like the only class player on the pitch - except fer McNamara - and hooking him was an unbelievable decision

GRANTY :D :D :D As I said last week he has the unforgiving job of man marking and he tends to get dragged out of position instead of holding his line - e.g second goal. But I will get stick fer this but he is overcompensating fer Lionel and is trying to keep an eye on him as well.

LIONEL :D :D Come on Mannie - fer 30 minutes he did OK but he got away with some basic mistakes but clobbered it - He was absolutely dire in the second half - he looked completely lost. This week the actual NOW player report was that he was an accident waiting to happen.

PROCTOR :D :D We simply dont need him if we have two solid central midfielders - we need to start playing someone like Morais who can give us some width. He is a good enuff defender but he gives us nothing going forward.

DUNCAN :D :D Poor game. Distribution and pasing were awful. Where was Kerr ?

BLACK :D :D :D :D Another who ran his heart out - when he got possession he was often left with few attacking options - But he is dying for the cause.

FORAN :D :D :D Another one with a gutsy display but where was he playing - he appeared to be interchanging with Imrie and that didnt work. Get him playing as the main forward asap.

IMRIE :D :D What a lot of us knew already - He was a stop gap striker - inconsistent - get him back wide or give Vigurs a chance.

ROONEY :D :D :D Certainly does a shift but lacks the final touch - but he is only learning - and we need experience.

Did you copy my marks, we gave Lionel the same.

Having seen Pavels miss the ball for the second, maybe we should rescind half a point.

Rosscoe was my MOTM from the caley side :thumb04:

GRANTY . . . . But I will get stick fer this but he is overcompensating fer Lionel and is trying to keep an eye on him as well.

Aye, i've noticed that aswell, he's struggling enough at the moment to play his own position, but when Lionel has a bad game, Munro is all over the place cos' hes tryin to cover for him, giving him the work of 2 defenders.

Think after that performance Roy should be started against Midden, ahead of Lionel..
