So with the transfer window closing in little over 12 hours where do we need to strengthen. A centre back with experience and physicality would be my choice.

According to a recent IM interview, we have until the end of February.

Given some of the dire forecasts that were in the press a few weeks back, I'll also be quite happy if we close this January window without any of our regular first-team players leaving on the last day.

Aye, that too. Get out of it with our skin and badly tattered reputation intact. See if we can't get through to the end of the season as a championship club, hold on to those put of contract we want to keep and see if this new investment materialises. Would count as success in my book.

Nail on head! Nolan has little to no composure, when he receives a pass I don't know who is the most worried, him or us in the stands. True he does win some headers but is generally too lightweight in the challenge and is easily manoeuvred off the ball, he lacks the physical attributes and often resorts to a one or two handed shove on an opponent. He's extremely one footed too, seems the left foot is only for standing on as he clearly doesn't trust it with the ball. At least twice on Saturday he ran around the ball rather than use his weaker foot.

If we aren't bringing in another CH I'd rather we deployed Dick alongside Lang and used Ngwenya at LB, not that I'm a huge fan of the Aberdeen loanee either.

That’s a weirdly strong set of opinions to hold on a player who has been by and large absolutely fine every time I’ve seen him.

I suspect with Nolan, the issue is the strongest impression folk have of him is the first one.

Since then he's been mostly fine. Competent without being dominant. Hasn't shat the bed but you wouldn't look at the guy and say, he's indispensable (on quality terms, as one of only two specialist senior CBs he obviously is pretty much the 2nd name on the team sheet). If O'Riordan was still around we'd no doubt have a back line with Lang and O'Riordan in the centre. 

I dont think he's as one footed as Scotty Dog says, but he is a bit handsy in the challenge. He mostly gets away with it.

Sadness in his eyes.

We'll always have Ochilview, I guess.

Still scored the same amount as Kyle connell in open play😂 but in fairness connell scored a couple of good goals on Saturday for EK, looked confident and composed compared to when he was with us , still young though

That's the third striker in the last 9 months that we have punted before their contract is up. 

For the best. It is clear that his prospects here were very limited. I am a bit surprised we have managed to mutual consent him, as I can't imagine he will have many alternative offers in Scotland.
