If Irvine doesn't pick the best team, of course he can be blamed.

Yes, the team he picked did get us 2-0 up - but is it our best side? Not in my book.

We wouldn't always be under the cosh if we had the capability of passing, moving and keeping the ball in midfield.

Yacob and Mulumbu are obvious improvements on what Irvine deems to be the best. Gardner is a very average footballer at best, if there isn't an obvious pass staring him in the face, he just lumps the ball. As for Dorrans, he wouldn't look anymore than average in the Championship. He was a good player 3 years ago, but it's not coming back now.

I believed Ideye deserved a chance, but at the expense of Saido? Clearly our best player so far this season. NO way.

Eased in from the bench gradually would make sense. For the record, the guy looks like a complete cart horse so far.

These decisions are costing us points. Yes, we made individual errors today. But if Irvine picked our strongest team, we would be better. That's obvious to me. Hell, the guy didn't even pick Varela until Brunt was injured and frankly, all of our decent football comes through him.
