New striker required Its a decent starting midfield and strikers however that defence continues to need work. And there is just little to no strength in depth. Worrying that we are heavily reliant on youth as well. Im getting excited for the new season however a few more key signings are needed before a competitive ball is kicked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New striker required Really depends if Stirling works his way into Naysmiths plans, I don’t think he shown anything near enough last season bar the Dunfermline game up there. He’s probably on last chance saloon for him playing full time football giving he’s already failed at Dunfermline. I’d agree a Right back and centre half are needed. A big no nonsense centre half. Then hopefully a few loan deals for cover/option at centre mid and upfront if possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 On paper the quoted 4 man midfield looks decent and has a fair bit of creativity about it. Bell and Murray should offer competition for places. I am not convinced that Stirling will start the season with us given the Manager's reluctance to use him last season but it would be good to see him get the chance to turn things around.As others have said the central defence is the big challenge and I would like us to sign another RB. Dykes and Dobbie up front looks a good combination but we need more back up than Fergusson.If we can build a really solid defence ( quite a big if) the rest of the squad has potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 The defence wasn't that bad last season when defending from open play. The biggest problem was when it came to crosses. We were absolutely dreadful at dealing with them and I hope it's an area they are seriously working on in training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair if we do get a right back and centre half in, the team above doesn’t look to shabby bar the lack of depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I`m pleased that Marsh is back. Having seen the twitter stuff i`d then headed off to play golf. Have to say when I read about the signing later I was a bit underwhelmed after the build up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northfield 53 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Great to get Marshall back but for a while I thought it was going to be Gavin Reilly now that would be signing to get excited about . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Rumoured that Mickey Doyle RB formerly of Morton and Alloa could be heading our way. Apparently he has been training with Alloa. Looked a decent enough player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
