I just re-watched the match on Sky, here's a few thoughts:
1. Crofts should be starting over Hammond. Hammond's decision making is very poor, he never knows where to pass the ball and because of this usually ends up going sideways or backwards. I think Crofts is of a higher calibre.
2. Last nights line-up was the best we can hope for. We should stick with this for the next few weeks after a few minor tweaks.
3. Sub needs to be better. On the bench we had one slow winger (Lopez) and a CAM (Dobbie) as our only 'attacking' options. We need someone explosive to run the tired opposition ragged and create space (Agdestein, KLL).
4. Orlandi has looked good from the game time I've seen of him, he needs to play a more influential role, maybe stick him in CAM.
5. Greer needs to stop trying to play defensive splitting passes, he's a CB, play it simple and let the players with ability play them balls (I counted 3 or 4 times he lost it with ambitious, needless long balls/passes).
That being said, here's my prefered line-up for Tuesday:

That being said, here's my prefered line-up for Tuesday:
Kuszczak
Bruno ~ Greer ~ El-Abd ~ Bridge
Bridcutt ~ Crofts
Dobbie ~ Orlandi
Buckley ~ CMS
(With Dobbie/Buckley and Orlandi being interchangeable)Bruno ~ Greer ~ El-Abd ~ Bridge
Bridcutt ~ Crofts
Dobbie ~ Orlandi
Buckley ~ CMS
