^^ Exactly what I was thinking at the game on Saturday. Not sure why we don't try that - if we're intent on passing the box across the edges of the box constantly, then why not have players in those positions who can make those passes forward rather than looking back into midfield all the time? For what it's worth I'd have Redmond in place of Imrie as well. We're getting nothing from Dougie's one-footedness and obsession with knocking the ball down the line and head down, run-after-it until it goes over the byeline. So frustrating.
The way the team is just now, I'd have
Matthews
Skondras, Devlin, Sarris (even though he's brutal at times), McMann
McKinnon, Donati, Docherty
Crawford, D'Acol, Redmond
Which would leave a bench with Gillespie, Imrie, Bingham, Brophy, Gogic and Longridge. Much better impact off that bench I'd think.
On the original question, if we go down I'd expect him to go, but nothing like the move we've heard rumours of in the past (Championship, Rangers etc). Maybe a Hearts or St J at best. Wouldn't bother me either way if he went, he's been great for us in previous seasons but for the last two he's been poor, and his shooting from open play is diabolical for an attacking midfielder (He's not alone right enough).
