We're on a hiding to nothing with this manager.

The 4 points against a very poor Hull and a 10 man Villa at home didn't disguise the fact to me.

How on earth can Dorrans and Gardner keep being picked? They've been treading water all season. Not good enough to execute simple balls and keep the ball under no pressure. It's no surprise we can't keep a lead with Championship players in the middle of the park. Gardner at least puts a shift in defensively but I just don't see the point in Dorrans.

It's obvious from Irvine's interview in the week that he doesn't base his selections on what happens on match day.

I think it's criminal Saido isn't being picked. I said it the last 2 games and again tonight. This 'taking him out of the pressure' is BS. We're in a relegation fight and can't afford for our best player to be sat on the bench. I know, let's have a free pass to the Championship because the only guy we have who is anywhere near capable of getting into double figures is getting some media attention.

We play no football, can't defend set plays, have most of our better footballers sat on the bench. I'm sick of us losing to inferior teams week in and week out. With a squad like ours, the blame can only go to Irvine when a team containing the likes of Karl Henry, Joey Barton and Clint Hill can beat us.

Absolutely pathetic.
