Kevin McDonald would step in and be a leader in the middle of the park

Kevin was a wonderful player in his pomp (and at Dens) but a 'leader' isn't something he's ever been. 

I'd genuinely be very surprised if he makes it back into professional football - even at this level.

Wonder if with Biamou looking likely to move on that will be the catalyst to bring Shanks back 🤔

Whilst I’d love to have Shankland back the performance on Tuesday showed we have greater needs.

Was Niskanen not touted as being able to play on both sides?  Could try moving him to the right, play Watt in the left inside forward role if thats where he excelled at Motherwell, Levitt and Fuchs sitting deep and Glass as a number 10.

Im not wanting to see Butcher brought back in - he's a walking red card who doesnt seem to be learning any lessons.

Niskanen played on the right in his debut at Paisley, and was relatively good as he was getting fair support from Smith til he was injured. He's switched over too to the right at times.

I'd rather we just went out and got a decent winger. If Shankland came back that would be good but its supply thats been our problem for about 3 years. Fix that and we'll be fine with what we have imo.

A problem for any winger is lack of service, just the same as a striker. Niskanen looked better in his earlier games, apart from the Dundee match, but for some reason he suddenly became a scapegoat and was removed or substitute in matches, including bizarrely at Dingwall. Maybe this, and the obvious poor distribution from those behind him, have hit his confidence.

What’s up with our crowds now days too? Below 5k on Tuesday. Never usually that low. Was expecting around 6.5k on Tuesday. Just seems like they’re plucking numbers out the air a bit. We were getting 7.5k a week in championship.

That's what happens when you've lost your previous 5 games.

Plenty boys voting with their feet.  Always going to happen when Courts eventually was exposed as the charlatan's charlatan.  People are no daft and even less daft with their hard earned.  Mr Ogren will eventually see that he has chosen the wrong management 'team'.

A freezing tuesday night game in the middle of January after losing 5 in a row and people are complaining at the crowd? Jeez

Don't think they're complaining, more that it looked a bigger crowd. First match in three weeks and a deal on for free tickets for under 12s with an adult ticket too so strange that the attendance would be much reduced from previous games. George Fox looked busier than usual. In saying that there's been a few attendances given as 6.5/7 thousand I've thought no chance, assumed they were counting all STs whether they attended or not.
