A Hallliday replacement in what sense? I liked him when he played, but I don't think he got any minutes last season.

It was more a number thing most top flight clubs tend to have a pool of 6/7 Central Midfield players. 

 

We currently have 3 senior central midfielders (Watt, Fadinger, Preistman) with a few youth players on the fringes (Whyte, MaCallister)

Exactly. Injuries aside, he was back up along with Nicolson. With those two now gone we have little back up to cover for injuries and suspensions. I have no idea what impact Whyte and MacAllister will have. Thats before any unwanted departures.

Last season MacAllister never looked out of place any time he came on so I think he will play a bigger role this season.

I hope a few of the youth players break through. We've not really had any since Miller left (I know it was a year ago) and Wilson who had a spell in the team under Kettlewell

Im hoping Olly Whyte is gonna be taking up one of the midfield slots.

If its Hallidays, Im fine with that.
