Thats true but, IF he comes this month, I suspect he'll be brought in to beef up the midfield i.e replace Davor.  As its stands we badly need a physical defensive midfielder and a hulking target man, if we want to stick to Ketts' plan but make it

Might be a bit reactionary but surely games like today highlight the need to improve the squad both now and at end of season.

Ox- Keep, Mair- Too early to say, will also go back to Norwich, Connelly- keep as Bu?

Kaleta- Make permanent if possible, SOD/Koutrombis- Move On

Balmer, Gordon - Keep Blaney- Still not sure on Mcginn- Release too injury prone Casey- I'd probably let move on. Seddon- Keep

Wilson - Keep as BU, Sign a LWB

Davor, Callahan- Move on, Lennon Miller- WIll be sold, Paton, Sparrow-Keep, Halliday- Keep as BU, Andrews- Will go back to Cov, Nicholson - Move on too injury prone. Slattery - offer 2 year deal if he can stay fit too end of season.

Maswanhise- Probably be sold if offer comes in, Vale- Will go back to Blackburn would like to keep if possible. Robinson-Keep, Ebiye- Move on, Watt-Depends on form to end of season, Taveres- Send back to Hibs.

Take it we don't rate Connelly? Third in line and then when an opportunity arises, we bring someone else straight into the team. Writing is surely on the wall for him. You wonder why we resigned him.

If we are going to persist with this anti-football football then it’s imperative that we use this January window to inject pace and athleticism into the team.

100% 

- LWB, probably a Target-Man and a Holding mid

- Try and punt Callahan and Koutrombis, offer Ebiye and Davor out see if anyone will take them

and more physicality. However to achieve that we'll need to shift some bodies out.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. He does seem to be on the small side for a Premiership goalie and doesn't seem to have progressed.

Casey apparently signed a pre contract with hearts. There is about 50% of our squad out of contract. I would give kotroumbis a run at right back see how he goes not seen much of him to have an opinion. Sod is horrendous the now and getting slower every week.
