I can't see us starting the season in that position. Indeed, my guess is that this position will be the priority. Webster as well so down 2 centre halves. Maybe JR rates Whyte?

mcdowell76 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) I always like to think of 99/00 At the end of the previous season we lost O'Brien, McNamee and Innes. 3 quality players.

YardleyBoom Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 56 minutes ago, mcdowell76 said: Mallan is obviously the main man we have lost. Top scorer, most assists. If we still had him then I don't think we'd be having this debate. I'm hopeful that Stewart, Buchanan and Reilly will prove to be decent enough replacements for O'Brien, Davis and Loy. Can Mallan be replaced? It allows Magennis to play in the centre rather than out wide. This may allow McGinn and Morgan to attack more. We may have a more natural attacking player on the right, like Hilson or Todd. Smith may contribute even more now he's settled in and with Mallan being away. Kirkpatrick may produce the goods. I think we've got a squad good enough to make top 4. I actually think Magennis is most effective out on the right wing. I know he will develop into a centre mid but feel it's still a wee bit too early. He had a great season out on the wing creating lots of chances. I've watched him in the centre for Scotland U20s and the other night and he is nowhere near as effective. His best moment on Tuesday was when he got down the right wing in the 2nd half and nearly created a goal. Last season we looked really balanced with him and morgan on the wings and dangerous down both sides. If only we had another mallan to play through the middle and keep Kyle out wide again.

guinness Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Mallan is the only one who needs replaced. The rest were no better than those there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Long way to go in the transfer window thankfully.We are clearly short in many areas but plenty of time to resolve it.I expect to see at least two or three experienced arrivals before the end of August.

Hambud Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Aye, forgot about him. Whyte has had a run out in pre-season games? He played on Tuesday. I saw someone mention that he had a torrid time as the first two goals came from his wing, though they failed to mention that they were corners. I thought he did well enough. Looked comfortable passing the ball with both feet. Not a starter ahead of Eckersley, Irvine, Mckenzie, Baird or Stelios but is a big boy who could have a good future. Is he any relation to ex celtic defender Derek Whyte he has a similar appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton won't be a starter and I'll be surprised if Samson is our 1st choice keeper as well. We will bring in another 3 players before the window closes.

munoz Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I think the squad is looking pretty decent for this point of pre season . In recent years we would still have about 6 or 7 players to bring in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, decent enough option off the bench but it's obvious JR doesn't fancy Sutton as a starter. I don't think JR would stand in Suttons way if somebody came in for him.

djchapsticks Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I've seen about half a dozen folk saying there are another three players to come in. Where has this come from? I know Jack Ross has said he's still looking at options but has he confirmed he wants three more in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you will be disappointed I have also never understood why folk are so keen on "experienced" arrivals". Langfield. Webster, Quinn and Clarkson were "experienced" arrivals I would be happy with "good arrivals" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
