Holt is best as the playmaker so that's why Kelly has come in as the holder although I imagine Martindale will be looking for another player in this position over the summer.

Bitsindou might be that player as he played that role most of this season for Lierse (the holder of the 2 in a 4-2-3-1).

Someone might be able to correct me, but think this is where we are for next season.

Goalkeepers
Max Stryjek
Ivan Konovalov
Brian Schwake

Defenders
Nicky Devlin
Jackson Longridge
Jack Fitzwater
Ayo Obileye
Morgan Boyes
James Penrice
Jamie Brandon
Phillip Cancar

Midfielders
Scott Pittman
Jason Holt
Stephane Omeonga
Scott Bitsindou
Harrison Clark

Forwards
Bruce Anderson
Cristian Montano
Joel Nouble
Andrew Shinnie
Jaze Kabia
Josh Mullin

 

Out of Contract
Probably Staying
Tom Parkes
Sean Kelly
Jack Hamilton
Matej Poplatnik (has an extension option and doesn't seem to have been awful for Raith)
Marvin Bartley (in the coaching staff)
Gary Maley (see above)

Probably Leaving
Jack McMillan
Keaghan Jacobs
Craig Sibbald
Alan Forrest
Carlo Pignatiello
Gavin Reilly

 

Wouldn't surprise me if we brought Chukwuemeka back in and were working on bringing Bailey back too if possible. Cover for the wide areas is probably all we're looking for really, and a goalkeeper if Stryjek is sold but Konovalov seems a good enough #1.

Would be good if we could sign a striker capable of scoring some goals to compete/play alongside with Bruce up front, we're really fecked when Bruce gets injured.

 

Nouble is good but he just can't seem to score a goal, Soto hasn't looked like scoring, Chucky may well be one we could get back and go on to score goals right enough, which would be funny in a twisted sense with how bad he was to start with, we really need another goal scoring front player next season though.

I imagine we'll be giving Jack Hamilton until January again to see if he's got any better

I'd imagine we're just looking at options up front now and then that's our business done pending any bids coming in. LW/ST/RW

If Stryjek and Longridge leave as expected then we basically need a keeper as back-up/challenge and 2/3 wingers of starting quality. Maybe a CF as backup however that really depends on if Hamilton and Poplatnik stay. 

Not a bad position to be in by mid-May

I'd rather give Poplatnik a fair crack and stick Hammy back out on loan to Arbroath if they come up, to give him till the Jan window playing for Arbroath in the Premiership, to see if he can score goals for them. Poplatnik is similar to Robbo in style, and reckon he'd get us some goals, still not convinced by Hammy, watched him a few times for Arbroath, against Killie and ICT, and he hasn't been great.

I thought Hamilton looked good any time I saw him on TV. Better workrate and good link up play. I think this season he came into a covid-ridden,  out of form team in games we were chasing. Hamilton in a team with Nouble and a winger, with Pittman as well, deserves a shot.

I'm going on games i've saw him for Arbroath, and still doesn't look good enough for us in the top flight, i really wish he'd prove me wrong but i'm not seeing it. Watching the game tonight and he's still done nothing against ICT. Wasn't great against Killie in the game that could've won them the league either.

I didn't realise max had another 2 years. If Martindale is right about him moving on this summer then we should be getting a decent wedge for him. I'd also be looking to tie Fitzwater down on an extended deal so we don't lose him for free next year

We really are short on firepower up front for next season.Got to get a striker in to compete with Bruce.The fringe players weve got just are not good enough for this level.And I think Davie knows this,if he's honest.

Think Parkes will be extending his contract for another season, Davie mentioned getting him fully fit for the start of next season, and wanted him in our defence, saying he's a leader. Hopefully Fitzwater will still be here, but i think there is interest in him.

 

Yeah Troy i still think we could be doing with a striker signed up, hope i'm wrong about Jack, and somehow he can link up with Nouble, but i really don't think he has the pace or mobility required to play in our system, and we'd need someone else doing the leg work. I think he could score at this level if the chance of a shot at goals presented itself, just not convinced he'd get many of those when he couldn't even get one against an aging Kirk Broadfoot over 2 legs.

Think Poplatnik was running down his contract at Raith, and wouldn't be offered an extension, but his late goal scoring form with them has given Davie something to think about.
