Would rather play a back 3 that flips to a 5 when required. Put Gallagher, Magloire & Lamie at the back with S"OD & MgGinley as wingbacks. The 3-5-2 that flips to a 5-3-2 works well for who we have

he's just had an op on his shoulder - he'll be back for pre season

In simple terms he'll be difficult to replace BUT that's exactly what we need to do. He's our best central defender and he's deserved his international honours. If he'd resigned I suspect we'd all have been delighted

Im with you on this and no doubt biassed due to him coming through the youth system. He's got something, pace and decent vision. Not sold we've figured out his best position but like you I think there's a player we could get a lot more from.

Not too many that we'll desperately miss. Campbell and Gallagher would have been good to keep. Cole, Roberts, Hastie. Foley are the ones from the list Id consider keeping. Got a soft spot for Hastie, albeit appreciate he's not set the heather on fire .

What a cracking player he's been for us over the last 5 years or so. He's conducted himself brilliantly. Although clear that he was leaving there's been no public outreach of "come and get me". It's all be very professional. Wish him the best of success.

He always knew where the goal was - he's a natural striker and don't believe he'll ever lose that ability. completely agree about rolling the dice. He's had a tough time with injury. Personally I'd take a punt on an initial 6 months with automatic extension if he plays more than xx games.

the cynic in my thinks this is to take some pressure of Glass. He's had a pi55 poor start and they'll be keen to give the Don's fans any bit of good news. It's poor form but pretty much aligned with all nonsense that's followed Gallagher since xmas. His agent could well be behind this.

GA"s greatest accolade is overall we've started to look more like a team than a bunch of individuals. From the players that walk straight into the team. Kelly - best signing by a distance. Cole - simply being played as a centre forward has got the goals. S'OD - much better pushing forward. Others have improved Lamie , McGinley, Mugabi , Long , Crawford have improved. Albeit I don't believe any are automatic yes's for the starting 11.

Foley is a very decent player. He's had little air time but has looked excellent and very composed on the ball. He deserves his starting place for the next game. Being 34 is the issue. One thing being a 34 year old keeper but in midfield he's likely to pick up knocks.

completely agree and this makes him good value for us. Don't think he'd get a game with a higher level club. If he can keep banging in the goals that's good enough for us.

that's a fair amount of reserve football for some of our squad

and there ends our winning streak the usual kiss of death .

For any player moving on - good luck to them. Wish them all the best for the future and our thanks for 1-2-3-4-5 years of service dependant on who they are. In terms of remaining games we should play our best/hungriest players. If there's any player that GA isn't sure on , fringe players (Hastie/Dunne etc ) be good to see them being given a run out for remainder of the season.

he's been more vocal/present on social media that Dec that's for sure. From current team Kelly, S'OD and Watt would all be contenders for captain. Ideally we could bring an an midfield animal to captain us .

If there was ever a year not to win a cup it's this one, albeit would have been better than a kick to ones stones. '91 was amazing. Semis. We were written off as never beaten Celtic in a replay and we know how that turned out. Final. Fans believed that our name was on the cup and sure enough it was. What made those memories was being there. Seeing pyscho's 3rd and then Kirkies 4th was amazing to be in the crowd. In the final I've never seen so many Well fans, the atmosphere was special. One of the best memories I'll ever have as was the following day in the streets of "Well. Watching, shouting at my PC simply isn't the same. My family think I'm a madman and without thousands of like minded guys and girls it wouldn't be the same. Given StJohnston put out Rangers I'd like to see them go on and lift the cup. A group of average players but importantly a very decent team.

agree with that. Good players don't make good teams. Celtic are a good example of that this season. Be great to see us being more of a team next season

apologies - didn't explain myself well. His are well ahead of us in terms of strength. The league proves that out. As they should be, they have a bigger fan base and have the ability to buy players and pay much higher salaries. I wish we had the ability to bring in the calibre of player they often bring in.

Hibs have a really solid squad. They had players like Murphy and Cadden missing from their squad yesterday. I think we're streets behind some of these teams.

Agree - I'd like to see some of the fringe players get game time it's time to make decisions on these types of players. He signed 3 years ago and no longer a teenager. The other young wingback could also get a game play him rightback pushing SOD further up . Dunne - also another player who could be useful.

Losing Campbell is a loss. I do believe the team expects too much of him. He's a great tenacious guy to break up play, win the ball for us and give to someone else to build. In the past he had Turnbull, Gorin, Polworth and others who knew what to to with the ball. The lack of guile and skill is a real issue for us. If his perm replacements is Crawford then yes, we're going to miss him.

Personal view is Mugabi isn't an auto start - if he was he'd be playing just now. Keeper - find a way to retain Kelly - even on loan RM-LM - this won't be popular but I'd have liked to give Hastie a run in the team to see what he can offer. I also thing wing back could suit him. Strikers - I reckon Cole will sign - I don't see him getting a bigger club.

Agree he needs more time. Equally he can be judged on his time so far. He's guided us to safety but leaves doubt with his tactics. I'd also question how personable he is as a manager - his pre/post match conferences are dull dull dull. As are our performances.

absolutely - Partick Thistle is the right level for him. Hopefully there's no extension to his contract.

Carrol had a couple of poor games and was dropped. Im relatively sure he signed a contract extension just before getting dropped. I think he's marginally better defender than McGinley .
