Why just Fakes and Livi?

I see your point. I was thinking out loud more than anything. It really has messed up development and rehabilitation with no reserve/bounce/youth games.

Do you think the focus is securing top 6? Then hopefully it will be to get the young guys game time?

Out of curiosity are we able to use youth players? I thought we couldn't as they are not getting tested? That is why we couldn't play games with the positive tests. Likes of Celtic can as they have a first team squad of like 40 players as they can afford it. I agree. If it's possible, get them in or what's the point in them. This season there are a lot of side that are poor to test them against.

Window ends today at midnight, right? Jim's hopeful on potentially adding 2? Taking the wage space of Sheron and Foley?

I know, but the best bit of business would be to have some form or sell on for any player we get rid of as it means if they fail then that's ok, but if they do well, we get some return too.

That shows you how much of a f**king clown Stubbs was.

Bench has a fair few attacking players/strikers. Maybe change it up and go all at it in 2nd half? Trying not to concede 1st half?

Potentially playing left mid? GK- Alnwick RB- Fraser CB - McCarthy CB - Shaughnessy LB - Tait RM - Connelly CM - MacPherson CM - Erhahon LM - Mason CAM - McGrath ST - Brophy

I would be interested to know the formation we would play with him coming back? Ethan and MacPherson move to bench? Mid 3 of JDH, Mallan and McGrath? Move to a 433 with likes of Quaner- Brophy - Connelly/McAllister?

Is it a suspended fiver that he might not actually pay?

With covid and the current state of things, is the free agent pool full of decent players available that we can tap into? Did the emergency loan of the keeper scupper finances as well?

What is the deal with Jordan Jones? They signed him, not played him that much and now they want rid of him?!

I'm now wanting to do some research, I feel we always have the OF at the start of the season and together too to curtail any kind of run we could go on. I need to do some looking back since being back in the top flight.

Not saying I'd want him at all. Never rated him, but if he is knocking back Killie, who does he think can afford him if he wants to stay in Scotland? Aberdeen, hearts and Hibs only ones that could afford what he is looking for, but he values himself higher than what he actually produces.

I saw this today on the BBC gossip "Released Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty confirms he has knocked back a deal from Kilmarnock but says staying in Scotland remains a priority in his search for a club. (Sunday Mail)" Who else in Scotland does he think would be able to pay him what he is probably thinks he is worth? He needs to be realistic as he's a lanky streak of pish! (Hope I've not jinxed it and Saints somehow sign him now).

Thanks. Looks like can be worked in a 4-3-3 attacking and 4-4-1-1 when not in possession. Love the sound of Foley. Only Goody can find a player like him as we have missed that. If he can distribute the ball, than that's even better!

What was the lineup and formation with it? Couldn't make the game and wondering how Goody is lining the squad up at home against what has been a tough team to play against in the past.

Surly we need more options more up front? With greg tansey going, did that not free a wage for someone who isn't a midfielder? [emoji12]

Awesome. I'm in the back of beyond today and hopefully see it being announced. If that's locked in its then forward and the right wing (hopefully McAllister) we need.

So is McAllister a done deal? So that would be the right wing sorted. Are any of these a left back or a forward as would say they are the biggest needs.

Where has it been said we have signed Mickael Antoine curier?

Not trying to be all negative, but if we end up going down I think the likes of Terry Butcher would be the type of manager who would be able to wheel and deal to get us back up quicker. Did he not with ICT? Seems to find lower league players who have done really well for ICT. Did he not sign the likes of Josh Meekings, Billy McKay, Ross Draper, Aaron Doran and Greg Tansey? all good players in my eyes. if he could do that with us as well as blooding the youth through the squad, then i think he could create a good feeling through the club and the supporters. That's just my opinion though.

Where is Terry butcher these days. I'd take him as manager. Did really well I thought at ICT.
