Wee tommo did still chip in with a decent return of goals each season

I would even have McGregor in the holding midfield role rather than him sitting on the bench. Could really help shore up the midfield and take some pressure off our defence which have no protection.

Some of the best football i have seen us play under Lennon was 2 seasons agao when we had Hasslebaink and Steven Thomson (the sparow) in the team. I don't think we really replaced either. In that time of flowing, entertaining football we had Goodwin and Thomson as holding midfielders or sometimes one of them with McLean or Haddad or Murray when fit. This allowed our creative players like McGowan, Hasslebaink, Teale, Carey and McLean to actually be creative, take more risks and have that protection from the two holding players. Now, i'm not saying the Thomson was a superstar as near the end of his time with us he was perhaps one of our weaker players, however what he did have was experience. Our holding midfield pairing this season do not have that. Newton has a lot of potential but nobody alongside him to keep him in check. I don't think that McLean or McGinn are ever holding/ball winning midfielders so asking them to do this role is purely just to fit them into the team so no star players miss out. This leaves us very lightweight in the middle and too unbalanced. We need two ball winning midfielders in the holding role so I would try out Newton and Goodwin. If Goodwin can't cut anymore there then we need to find someone else who can. Hasslebaink is another one who we've never played, except from perhaps Goncalves. He was someone who could turn defence into attack and was always a great outlet to have due to his skill, low centre of gravity and raw pace. We don't have that anymore and our only outlet is Teale which many opposition clock on to.

Always liked Czaba Lazlo (spelling) that was at Hearts though he had a lot more cash to play with than we do

Does Sutton against Motherwell in the 3-2 game count? Amazing!

Hope BBC have got the possession stats wrong too!

No Kelly or Yaqub either according to BBC

Only 5 subs on the bench and one of them isn't Lee Mair. What's going on?

What the f**k is going on? There has been no comments at all from the club saying that we have avoided financial meltdown. Our PR guy has to go, piss poor!

Not any quotes there from Danny Lennon about the Laletin. Could just be a lazy reporter thinking we're not signing him because he's due to fly home.

still the best player at the club
