Please explain appearance numbers, e.g. has Swankie made 167 starts plus 43 as sub making 210 appearances in total?

Yes, you are correct. It's games started followed by substitute appearances in brackets. Gav's stats are the only ones i'm not fully sure are 100% accurate.

Thought about it afterwards.

Start of last season there were many many questionable decisions, looking at it in hindsight, but he was clearly trying to find our best team.

The back 4 was often a bit of a mess and Mutch started in goals, after that though, around about the time after the Clyde 3-2 game we started delivering and playing well.

Record in league since then is:

W - 20. D - 12. L - 7.

Plenty of decisions were questioned.

David Gold RB - Huge Success
Bryan Hodge LB - Huge Success
Matty Smyth CM - Success
Skelly out wide - Success
Changing it to 4-3-3 - Success
And perhaps the biggest one, Hamilton to centre half, look how well that turned out.

A few failures and poor decisions in there too, the signing of our mate Fast Eddie and Sukar stick out the most. But overall results, performances and the title showed DC to be correct in what he'd done.

This season there hasn't been as many, but the signing of Henry, dropping Ricky and putting Danny Denholm up top have all been questioned by fans and at the end of the day they've all turned out to have been very good decisions by DC.

Think we should all show a bit of faith in the guys decisions until results start telling us he's going wrong somewhere. [emoji6]
