We had a bench with 5 kids on it against Hamilton, even if we sign 3 more players this week he will still be in and around the first team, if we are playing both Maxwell and Reading then Ecripont will get game time based on 3 players and 2 positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression that Maxwell will play further up the park than Reading . Room for both in the team . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one more this week folks!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Can't have too much depth. You can sign the best xi in the league but most weeks they won't all be available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 One more signing is the absolute least we should be expecting this week, and it’s barely acceptable. Going into the first league game with either two or three key positions in central midfield and up front to fill isn’t good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malkyshotton Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Yeah and then he signed for Partick Thistle. Ahh, ok. Was just being hopeful that it was still to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMIP Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Don’t really get it. If we’re playing 3 at the back, how do we accommodate Reading and Maxwell on the left and Houston and Salkeld on the right? If we’re not going to 3 at the back, why do we have 4/5 centre backs on our books? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkyshotton Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Are we the only club in the championship that keeps getting gazumped with players. Seems like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 We actually signed a player. I am content for now but hungry for more! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but if we’re running with a small squad, we can’t afford to have too many understudies. We seem to have a lot of defenders and not many midfielders or strikers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If no one else comes in, we’ll be something along these lines for Killie: McAdams Baird Muirhead McGinty Houston Maxwell Murdoch Hewitt Salkeld Reading Adeloye Albinson, Fjortoft, Miller, Chalmers, Moffat, McKenzie, Smith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne's man Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 This doesn't feel right Where are the attacking options? Yes, We have signed one striker but my fear is we play some sort of Craig levein Scotland tactic the whole season. Need a minimum of 2 more signings, excluding the loans of whoever from Burnley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts Morten can still barely put together an XI even when they're not catching covid, so that's one. Of course that's basically because Ayr are doing to them what Partick are doing to Ayr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If we are signing 2 more, then we are going to struggle. a couple of injuries and the whole season could be down the toilet. Looking at the odds for this season, they look extremely fair. I think Morton, Queens and ourselves have the ability to have a great or car crash season. Others who have done better business in the summer will have a more relaxed view on how things will go. We are going in to the season with Moffat and McKenzie who have scored maybe 8 goals in 2 years between them and Adeloye who has had a reasonable start but a lot is pinned on him. The midfield has looked better against two league 2 teams and Hamilton but Murdoch or Hewitt getting injured means a return of Miller and Chalmers. I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible but this season could be very challenging unless we can offload 1 or 2 we know aren't good enough and get 4 or 5 in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve already got a squad of 19 so we’re probably only going to bring in another 3-4 unless we can offload someone which seems unlikely imo. Provided the next signing we make is an attacking midfielder/winger and it happens this week then I think we’ve got enough to see us through until the Burnley players come in (I’d imagine these will be the last deals we do). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
