Sat in pub. Finished my paper. Might as well start this. We will (probably) lose 3 top performers from a crap season. Notman has retired, (presumably before his knees cave in). Rumours of him going to Edinburgh as coach will be interesting as he tries to polish Pat Scullion. Mcrorie surely won't be back and although the gaffer will try and get Hamilton back again from Livi, surely that is unlikely. The positive news is of the emergence of a young but very promising defence. Brennan looks much more confident in goal, and a back 5 of Cook, Fleming, Wilson, Todd, and Orru is something to hang on to. Todd and Orru in particular have leaped forward this season. Maybe the addition of a tad more experience, and the defence is kinda sorted. Midfield and attack are big problems. O'Kane, Willis, Phillips and Lavery need some quality around them. Even with Notty it is seriously iffy and creates shag all. Up front, if Hamilton goes and Ouzy See doesn't make a miraculous recovery, we need a whole new strike force. Despite another feeble season, there is some promise in our youngsters they just need a bit of experience and on-the-ball quality around them. The only ones I would be happy to say goodbye to are Stewart, Murrell, Thomson and Fairbairn.
