So yesterday could not really have gone much worse then...

Unconvincing performance and a loss to an average team.

Olsson gets suspended and possibly for more than one fans after his push on the ref.

Pilks publically undermining the manager.

Fans making monkey noises in front of the families of several of our black players.

I think it's fair to say things can only get better!

Adams needs to learn quickly or we are going to have to make another change. In fairness he has been unlucky with some injuries and its not really his fault our pre-season has been disrupted but I still think he has dug himself into an unecessary hole with the marginalising of certain players (Pilks included) and the fact he seems to have agreed with Martin (no surprise it as him beaten in the air (again) for the goal yesterday - happens too often) that he can play CB.

This league all about strength at the back and in central midfield so for me Martin must go back to RB ( in place of Whit who cannot defend) and Bennett come in at CB. Tettey should be in the team whenever fit. The other thing yesterday showed is Grabban is not a lone striker and we need the focal point that hopefully Lafferty can provide. Get those basics righ to give us a strong spine/platform and then let the likes of Grabban, Redmond, Wes and the Murphys enjoy themselves in the wider areas or behind the striker.
