Who would you play instead of them? If we're talking about pace I wouldn't say those two are any slower than the alternative options (unless you're suggesting Rooney dropping back to RCB).

I'd play McCart. Booth can't defend the back post so they'd simply stick White on him and chuck it in from their left flank.

Right side I've no idea. Rooney can't defend, but none of the other options contribute in attack.

I'm not convinced McCart is a particularly strong option for defending the back post these days either, given the first goal we lost in the Rangers match. I do expect him to start, though.

He's far better than Booth anyway, who regularly gets caught under the ball.

McCart has struggled but he's still, comfortably, our best option as LCB. Literally no benefit to playing a worse defender, and worse player on the ball, in that position against County.

This game is massive the league could be called to a halt any time with covid 19 getting out of control. A win for us takes us off the bottom and a Aberdeen win takes us out of the bottom 2

No chance of the league being called. Games without crowds again.

Not convinced by any of that, but can agree to disagree. I think there's only so many bad games a player can have, and goals a defender can be at fault for, before his place in the team surely has to come under threat.
