Not to cause panic but if we're wanting to have a go for Europe this season we need another 5/6 players. I'd be bringing in 2 strikers and playing a 352 so we at least pose more of a threat since we don't have wingers. Still need a LWB as much as I'd like to see Wilson the premiership will eat him alive he's looked leggy after 60 mins against lower league opposition. Still need a holding midfielder. We also need a creative midfielder to replace Spittal with all the injuries we've got in that area of the pitch. IF I'm was being extremely optimistic I'd like another CB preferably with a bit of pace about them but we do have 6 options in that area so don't think it's overly likely.

Trying not to overreact but why does he keep playing 541 with no wingers you either play 5212 or you bring in 2 wide players with pace so we are at least a transitional threat. Painful watch.

I mean Nicholson has impressed me since he came in. Paton is a bit hit and miss but you've just got to hope he performs Lennon and Slattery are also creative enough from that area for me not too be overly worried. also think with 8 signed players in that area and the talk of Dylan Wells breaking through their won't be any more addditions in that area.

So our squad going into the 1st game of the season Oxborough/Heygi Balmer/Mcginn Gordon Casey/Blaney SOD/Koutroumbis Miller/Davor/Callaghan Slattery/Halliday/Sparrow Seddon/Wilson Nicholson/Paton Moses/Stuparevic Bair/Robinson I suspect we'll sell Bair. Hopefully we bring in another Wing-back either side and a St if Bair is to leave.

I;m a day late I don't know if me eyes are decieving me we offered Bevis Mugabi a new deal? Seems like a lovely guy but hes a poor Cb and definetley not someone we need going forward

Why on earth are we giving Slattery another deal he's been inured for 6 months.

I reckon Halliday would do a job LWB. He can pass and cross the ball well and got a decent strike on him. Gent has been very good so will be tough to replace

Disagree with Casey being a bombscare feel far more confident when he's in cb compared to the the other then again that's not saying much.

To be completley honest as good as Bair has been I'd be cashing in. Don't see him replicating the same numbers next season and his value will drop. Build the team next season around Lennon Miller and ideally get him to sign on for another year to protect his value. Seen a lot on here wanting to keep Mcginn I don't mind him but he makes too many mistakes for me i'd be bringing in a whole new back 5 only Cb I'd keep is Dan Casey

Well with the season over I can comfortably say that's probably the worst defensive unit i've seen 3 CS in 38 games is criminal

Obika seems like a nice enough guy but I have never understood his signing he's been injury prone for years,

On Murray you may well be right but we still should be in for him. On Bair if we get anything around 1.5M for him your taking it and running only way we'd get more is if there's a bidding war.

I don't think if we keep him for another season hell get the same number of goals and assits think with Spittal leaving his numbers will drop off to probably 15 G/A next season. So personally I'd take the money and try get Simon Murray if County end up going down

Good news, we'll definitley cashing in on Bair then tho

The thing I will give our scouts credit for is they always find at least 1 half-decent St. There's also times tho i'm sat questioning if they have a brain. Over the years some of the signings have been exceptionally bad

Anyone see the rumour Bristol City are preparing a bid of total 1.25m for Theo Bair

From the players I'm seeing mentioned on here I'd take Shaun Rooney always thought he was a threat at RWB for St Johnstone. Don't want us anywhere near Paul Hanlon however he's been poor for Hibs and definetley not what we need to improve our poor defence.

Bournemouth want to buy him and they'll loan him to Hibs to let him keep developing not sure that would be his best career move anyway. Imo we shouldn't be selling Miller for anything less than Aberdeen sold Calvin Ramsey for in any case.

Is Gillespe not available on a free this summer if he's willing to come back he's probably as good as your going to get.

wouldn't mind Daniel Phillips on a free either

Didn't realise he'd been out that long probably wouldn't touch him then don't need anymore crocks

Anderson is a solid player imo works very hard ends up on good positions

Taking the teams below us is normally how we stay up. This season our 2 best players were Spittal and Bair who we got off county and st Johnstone

Seen a list of players out of contract this summer across the league and their some very good players for a club like us available on Frees. Obviously Bruce Anderson would be great and we should be in for him but I think Kettlewell would probably make Joel Nouble a 10-15 goal a season Striker. Ross Callachan and Simon Murray of Ross County

Hopefully with the new investment coming in to the club we can maybe afford 1 or 2 better players for next season. If we sell Miller this summer we should be looking for upwards of the Turnbull fee as he's a great prospect. The squad needs a fair bit of surgery in my opinion. Only players I'd be desperate to keep are Bair, Miller and Vale made permanent. Spittal would be here but off to Hearts. Would be surprised if they didn't all receive far more appealing financial offers. Definetley need a overhaul in Defence and Midfield who knows maybe Kettlewell will even change formation. Either way hopefully we get into the top 6 and manage to sneak into 5th for a wee European tour next season.
