Jordan Holmes, 21 year old aussie goalie signs on loan from Bournemouth until end of season.

It appears Danny Rodgers has picked up another knee injury that will keep him out for some time. 

Aye, Div saying on Twitter “Hope you get fit soon” 

Unlucky for the lad.

At present my starting XI is:

 

----------------------------------Hladky---------------------------------

-----P McGinn------Ferdinand------Popescu------Erhahon------

---------------Hodson-------S. McGinn-------Tansey----------------

-----------------------McAllister---------Lyons------------------------

-----------------------------------Jackson-------------------------------

 

Still a few glaring holes in that side but at least looks decent on paper  - obviously hard to compare Popescu to Jones just yet or the goalkeepers as we don't know either of them but the only squad member leaving who has notably weakened us on paper is Adam Hammill. 

Hopefully plenty of creativity and chances to be made between Kyle McAllister and Brad Lyons who are both very attack minded. Once Kyle Magennis gets back as well the midfield looks quite decent from that point of view.

 

From here, a Left back, a proven centre forward (or two if Scott Burns on Twitter is to be believed) and at a push another winger would see us set nicely for the run in and allow us to adapt a few different ways to play.

We badly need a left back and we can't continue with Hodson in midfield. He's a steady full back but he doesn't have the attacking mindset to get forward effectively.  As you say once Magennis is fit he will slot into the middle but until then it's a problem. Goalscorer then and we are good to go, simples !!!

Bit of a shitter for Lyness, he did well when called upon. Presumably he was told he could leave before Rodgers' injury flared up again? 

Seems to be the case. Unfortunate timing. Then again, he'll be streets ahead in League One, so might get a decent move in the summer.

Good debut for Lyons

Without a doubt the most nonsensical sending off I think I've ever seen. He got fouled in the middle of the park and ref pulled book out. I thought 'f**k sake that's a bit of a soft booking for the centre half' and it turned out a second yellow for simulation. 

What a fucking nonsense decision. It will take more than VAR to sort the refs out in this country. :lol:
