MelvinBragg Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 36 minutes ago, thewelllfan said: we still need 3/4 imo - LW, CB, CM and a Target-man type ST Is Just not a left winger? I agree with a centre back (although I wouldn't moving a defender on first, avoid the bloated squad of last season) and another striker. A midfielder if Miller leaves. If we could get said defender out the door, would I then maybe consider looking for a right back as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just I believe is a RW either way we need another winger, you need 4 if you're playing a 433 we currently have Maswanhise, Just and Nicholson (Who's injury prone) and if you want to add Ross you can but not convinced he's ready i'd loan him out, we need a Cb who's semi decent on the ball, we need a Cm regardless of Miller leaving and an probably a 2nd when he does and St. I mean I'm not the biggest fan of SOD or Johnny K tbh but we already have they 2 plus Mcginn to play there so doubt we'll add a RB.

wellfan Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 I’ll be content if we don’t sign the extra 2–4 players some are now calling for. The same people complaining about a bloated squad in past seasons are now demanding three players per position. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two fit strikers, one of whom is just returning from injury and the other has barely played a first team game. I think another striker doesn't make a bloated squad. Ideally I'd move Balmer and O'Donnell on and bring in a centre half and a right back. It's not numbers I'm looking ing for, it's quality..

If we were playing wing backs, I'd say fair enough but I don't know if he's defensively solid enough for a more traditional full back role...

My opinion leaves scope for another striker, which I agree we need. Balmer and SOD are going nowhere, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 As far as defenders go, we now have 8 on the books, Of those 4 are out and out full/wing backs. Of the remaining 4, 2 (McGinn and McGhee) can play in central defence as part of back 3. If we go to 2 at the back then that leaves us with only 2 out and out central defenders, Balmer and Gordon. A tad tight methinks. Is Balmer a first choice pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, although there's certainly room for improvement, I don't mind Balmer at all - seems like he's being tarred with the same brush as SODs.

That's fair enough here's the squad we'd be going into the season with in that case Gk- Ox, Ward RB - SOD, Johnny K Cb - Gordon, Balmer, Mcghee, Mcginn LB - Longelo, Wilson CM - Miller, Watt, Halliday, Slattery, Sparrow, Fadinger RW - Just, Nicholson, Ross LW- Maswanhise ST- Stam, Sule, (Robinson, Stuperavic both crocked to December at the earliest) Plus any youth lads that could potentially break through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also concede that another centre-forward would be nice, and perhaps a centre-half at a push, but anything more will bloat the squad.

That's my understanding too. He can play RB and central defence in a back 3, but primarily thats not why he was signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squads going to be bloated either way due to the nature of Robinson and Stuperavic's injuries we'll be running at minimum a 25 man squad. We're about to sign a winger called Ibrahim Said from Viborg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
