With an injury free, fully match fit squad available, I wonder what MM considers to be his strongest team, particularly in midfield/wide areas? Personally, Fraser, Bishop and possibly Oar apart, I don't see significant choices available, in terms of that extra bit of quality, in the remainder of the squad. Limited tinkering options available, therefore, unless further investment is forthcoming; in which case persuading Bmth to sell RF to us would be a top priority for me. Top quality investment for this and future seasons.
This tinkering is all for discussion - and a settled side is always good. Coming of the back of a good run and a great injury-time win means no ones really looking for any imminent changes.

In tinkering, I kind of mean the odd change and I look towards defence. Knudsen has been given a hell of a lot of backing. So has the three CBs in smith, Berra and Chambers.
In 2015... we've shipped goals. Not just the defence's responsibility... but the midfield as well.
The defensive-minded back seven are nailed in. All been criticised.... and ... we're sixth.
So I guess there's no argument - until the next dodgy spell. :)

I have no problem if we're doing OK, but would like to know how Parr would fare and if the Polish lad could add something.

Mick's doing the business ... and like the Iron Lady he's not for changing.

RIP Lemmy

If that was an intended Margaret Thatcher quote, believe she actually said "The lady's not for turning".
