This is only because of injuries (Dorrans, Jack and McCrorie).
When everyone is fit, our midfield will be the strongest part of our team.
I accept that we looked weaker in midfield yesterday in the second half, but that was partly due to RC changing tactics (there's another thread on that topic today)
However, as you rightly point out, that was bordering on our second tier fringe players for midfield yesterday. McCrorie, Jack and Dorrans would walk back into that midfield when fit and then throw in Docherty, plus Murphy and Cummings possibly dropping into advanced midfield roles, as well, and that part of our team starts to look like the strongest part of our side.
I am genuinely excited about the way our squad is shaping up right now. First time I've felt so positive in almost 6 years.
