Miller Thomson...have any of you seen much of him and have any thoughts?

Not seen a lot but is highly rated.  Bit light weight at the moment, hopefully gets plenty game time and scores a few goals.

Docherty in the Makalele role and a swashbuckling attacking 5

A back 5 might not be the worst idea possibly, especially if we don't get a suitable replacement. We can play one of the younger players like Meekison or Glass alongside Docherty, but the extra man at the back should compensate for them being unlikely to be able to replicate the amount of covering and defensive work Sibbald reguarly does.

No please, not a back five. I can't take it.

The first choice back four are all fit and available and working well. We need cover at right back and another defensive minded midfielder to cover for Sibbald and Docherty. That should be the priority. Let's not panic and go back to a system which, almost invariably in Scotland, sacrifices attacking football for simply an extra body in the box. It rarely improves the defence in the long term and almost always damages the attacking side of the game. We need to be aiming to win every game. That won't happen with a back five. Also, McMann is a shite wing back. I could go on ...
