Tommy Mulgrew

Perry should have played. With Svensson and Thomas ruled out by injury (we never seem to have only one CB out at the same time!), we needed to have experience in the centre of defence. Without it we were cruelly exposed; nobody organised the defence in the first minute and it didn't get much better as the match progressed. KD was our man of the match and we nevertheless let in 4 goals; that statistic tells a story. A couple of older and wiser heads yesterday (and hopefully in future) and we would have been a good side.

It seemed to me that the most obvious thing lacking was a creative midfielder who posed a threat by incisive passing. We had Surman stagnating at left back. Why doesn't JP play him in midfield. Either that or get Romain in PDQ.
