PauloPerth Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Also bear in mind how desperately short in defence we were for the first couple of months. By the 'end' of the season in March, Butcher and Hendry were fairly regular starters. If we managed to sign Conway and Butcher or an equivalent,, do folk think that's enough, or still more players required? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced about Conway but happy if manager sees he's still up to it in training and friendlies but to answer your question, I'd be happy with a wide player & central midfielder like Butcher being brought in. I think the reality is 2 more signings max is all that is going to be available budget wise. Particularly with the unknowns about money through the gate still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bose Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 From everything I’ve read and seen it seems Conway has a contract to lose. If we only get one more signing I would be delighted with Butcher. I thought he was very good in a limited amount of games. He would be a great signing if we could get him for a full season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the elephant in the room. I'll give him a fresh chance this season but his performances will need to be a lot better. If we can get Butcher back, I'd be happy enough with central midfield. We've been better covered in the past but hopefully we don't get too many injuries at once. Out wide I'm not sure though. It'd essentially be Conway replacing Kennedy, Wright and Swanson. At his age, I think we are weaker there and relying on O'Halloran picking up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest anti climax signing of the last ten seasons for me, just a total let-down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his age, I think we are weaker there and relying on O'Halloran picking up. Suppose it depends on CD's preferred formation as well. If we're going 3 at the back, which I feel is probably making best use of our squad as none of Kerr, Gordon or McCart deserve to be starting on the bench, then the width would come from the wing backs where we now have a couple of options on either side. Would we really need many more wide options in that case? Unless it's 3 up front of course, which has been mentioned, where Hendry central with May left and MOH right sounds decent. Cover provided from Kane, Robertson, Conway and Tanto give us numbers, but a lot of unknowns and unprovens in there. Perspnally id prefer the 2 forwards with 3 in central midfield, where we have McCann, Craig, Davidson and Wotherspoon for 2-3 places, hopefully + one new signing (Butcher). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mention of Scougall gives me shudders though. Plus a wee dig at the wee dug usually provokes RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 As back up or first choice?First choice. Like Radford I’ll give him another chance (no option but to really) but he was very poor last season. He’s not a young lad any more and personally don’t think he’s near the level of Mannus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
