I'd be having vdW at left-back over Kelly any day. Really didn't rate Kelly this past season, don't think he's Premier level. Grivo is definitely not far from a starting spot, I was very impressed with him this year and I'm chuffed that we've resigned him. Not super inspired by Laidlaw and Spittal signings, but I suppose we're limited by money as usual, so we need to make the best of what we've got.
Avoiding relegation this year is the aim, 10th would be a pretty good result as far as I'm concerned but it really does depend on Accies/Livi/St. Mirren being shite rather than us being good.
