Well whichever way you look at it someone doesn't start who deserves to

Arguably Hooper, Jerome, Grabban, Hoolahan, Howson, Tettey, Johnson and Redmond all deserve to start.

Dorrans therefore seems to be the obvious candidate to step down for Tettey (purely on the basis that he hasn't done enough yet not because he's not any good) but in terms of the strikers its impossible to choose. I suppose you could argue that Grabban has been integral to the way the team as a whole have played in the last few weeks but last night he missed a couple and we needed more presence in the box which is what Jerome gives you.

Its a nice problem to have. Glad its not my decision but what i will say for Neil is he seems (at the moment) to be doing a very good job of rotating them all and giving everyone enough game time to feel involved and motivated. Perhaps he's been helped by Jerome not being fully fit meaning he's been happy to drop to the bench from time to time but even so he's shown great skill in this respect. Lambertesque really. Something I don;t think Adams was very good at.
