Good post. I find Alex Neil's refusal to play anything than a 4-5-1, and recruiting solely
with this shape in mind, the most damning aspect of his reign.
We have absolutely nothing like enough depth in central defence, or either full back spot for that matter. No upgrade on Tettey or Jerome; and yet £20m went on three backups for Wes (Naismith plays best just off a striker, Pritchard, and Maddison)
