Grainger proving to be short of the standard needed at this level and sadly we don't have anything better. Top 6 chances as far away as ever. Avoiding play off at best.

On cloud cuckoo land if you ever thought that idea was ever going to come true.

I think today shows us that we don't have anything like the "top 6 squad" we keep being told that we have. The reality is that we have a smallish budget for our league, with lots of young players who are generally punching above their weight, a smattering of hit and miss loan signings, a few players who could grace top 6 sides and a lot of average SPL players and a few who aren't SPL standard.

It only takes us to lose a few on form important players (McGinn, Kello, and McLean today) and we can go from looking like top 6 challengers and a similar standard to Dundee United to relegation play off candidates when the likes of Grainger are filling in out of position for a star like McGinn.

We can get by when we have one star performer like Teale out fora while but once the other injuries and suspensions kick in we have a thin squad.

Once we get a few results together again I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of Brady to see if he might offer more than Grainger does when he gets played in midfield.
