We huffed and puffed for 45 minutes when Stoke were very poor, without creating
much (little surprise with the negative selection and lack of forward runners).

Then, second half when Stoke show one moment of quality, they score and we
don't have enough to get back into it.

I don't know what is going through Irvine's head when he sets up every game for
a 0-0. If you're not going to at least try and win games against the likes of Stoke,
where are the wins going to come from?

Samaras, Blanco and Gamboa must be scratching their head wondering what they
have to do to get into this team. Especially when they see the likes of Dorrans,
Gardner, Wisdom and Baird in front of them.

Feel sorry for Varela who came into the team, injected some much needed quality,
scored a goal and then was dropped when Dorrans and Brunt returned from injury.

Irvine clearly isn't picking the team on merit and unfortunately the good trainers
aren't capable at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon.

A change is drastically needed. We need someone with a set of balls to come in and
shake things up. Lose the dross like Dorrans and Gardner, put Mulumbu and Yacob in
the middle to add some steal and actually play a few of our attack minded players
together at the same time.
