Everyone goes on about a lack of quality in our side

but if you look at the starting lineup and the subs that came on today it is clear they have the ability to do better:

Marshall - can't really blame him as he kept us in it. Scottish International and ex Celtic.

Otsemoboer - Brought up at Liverpool and was in the League 1 PFA team last season.

Shackell - Used to be promising and performed well for us in the Prem season.

Murray - Another International player who played for on of the Old Firm sides.

Lappin - Up until this run he was one of our most consistent players and showed good quality on the ball.

Spillane - along with Martin is our brighest young hope. In the Repuplic Under 21 squad.

Russell - After leaving us last time had 2 very decent years in the CCC, was the league's player of the month at one point last season.

Smith - Chelsea player. Nuff said.

Hucks - used to piss on this league and still could on his day.

Martin - was a revalation last season and this was due to be his year.

Cureton - top scorer in the CCC last season in a newly promoted side.

Croft and Chadwick both have prem experience aswell.

So it is clear the players are capable of playing to a much better standard. So the question is why are they not performing. It is easy to blame the management but surely there has got to be a point when the players need to take a long, hard look at themselves and accept some accountability?
