Squad Tracker 17/18

[Array]

Martin can play a bit (not great, but OK by SPFL standards) but as well as the snail pace he doesn't live with the physical side. Some players' attitude is to change that to not be pushed around, we'll see this season. Hope he does adjust to it.

Wrong forum for that pish.

Right place to get a little nibble

[Winston Churchill]

Still need

net tender.

Centre Back.

wide player x 2.

Central midfielder x 2

Would think we'd be trying to punt some youth/fringe players out to Robbo at Inverness on loan.

We've done far better this season than I thought we would have by this point, but thinking ahead to January and even the summer, there's clearly still massive issues with the squad.

Assuming Walker is away, Hughes is done and Smith-Brown, Randall and Milinkovic will be leaving at the end, if not before the end of their deals, we still need about 7 or 8 players brought in. Can't see Noring sticking around and I'm very easy about us keeping Djoum.

Needed;

A back-up keeper so Hamilton can go out on loan.

A dependable centre half to cover for Berra or Souttar.

A proper left back and two centre mids - a holding player and an attacking player.

Two wingers and a decent striker to compete with Lafferty and Isma.

Given how many players we still need to bring in, I'd hope Liam Smith can improve defensively and physically on loan this season and provide back-up at either right or left back with Brandon doing likewise.

Hopefully there's a younger player who can be called on to step up as a fourth centre half, because Nowak is tying up a wage unnecessarily IMO.

Zanatta, like Smith, is hopefully ready for a place in the first team squad at the end of the season but him and Henderson would still be our only recognised wingers unless I'm forgetting someone.

Buaben, Cowie, Nowak, Grzelak, Martin and Stockton all need punted.

It's encouraging where we are given how many away games we've played and just how poor our squad is, but there's still so much work to be done.

Norings already gone.

Stockton actually done a job when he came on today.

He's a big nuisance. Give him 5 in a row to see what he can do.

[2MatoFish]

Norings already gone.

He was told he was free to leave but didn't get anything so he's still ours

Who are you going to drop for him?

[Shteve]

Stockton he must have been a Cathro capture.

I've not thought this through, have I? 

[Hank Scorpio]

Stockton was good when he came on yesterday. He lacks pace, but he pressed the Saints defence constantly, and they never got a chance to create anything.

[Chrambo]

Agree about Stockton, not worth a start but definitely good to hve coming off the bench.  Chased everything down and pushed them back a bit last on yesterday.

[Herman Boyce]

The last two posts could basically be describing Cowie coming off the bench and playing as a forward.

Wouldn't be surprised to see levein throw him up top at the derby with lafferty and isma wide. It's the sort of thing he's would do.

[Herman Boyce]

Hope not.

If it's three up front it should be Isma, Lafferty, Walker.

Levein is going 4-5-1 looking for his point. Isma or The gambler will be dropped for the Polish battering ram.

[Chrambo]

Yesterday was 4-5-1 and both Isma and Lafferty played.

[Herman Boyce]

Aye it's definitely not a bad option. I quite like Isma cutting in from the left. Someone mentioned Lafferty started on the left yesterday - he needs to play through the middle IMO.

If Isma plays wide left you need a proper winger on the right to create width, especially if we go with a right footed left back.
