irvine_buddie Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Glad we have finally started filling in those blanks, but think we still need at least 5 players to fill up our main 16 man squad. A striker, a right and left midfielder, a left back and a centre back at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ McG Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hoping Sadlier is signed up soon, think he has a lot to offer us in the championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 We need a right back, left back, centre back, goalie, right winger and left winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 We need a right back, left back, centre back, goalie, right winger and left winger. Don't think a right back is a priority but would agree with the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie gemmo Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Don't think a right back is a priority but would agree with the rest. If Goodwin doesn't sign i would also say we need a ball winning midfielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Don't think a right back is a priority but would agree with the rest. If Naismith gets injured/suspended... We don't have anyone else who's played right back at senior level in the squad. Would end up with young Baird at right back I guess...

insaintee Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Agree with that but I would say two more strikers, and a goalkeeper. The squad is very light. Dive why is Cuddihy not in the team plays right back or centre mid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Its still far to early for this convo, Murray knows what he needs and BOD will back. I expect another 5-6 players will sign before mid July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Dive why is Cuddihy not in the team plays right back or centre mid? Truth is I don't ever watch the u-20s so I've no real knowledge of Cuddihy. Who would you drop for him in the line up I've posted mate ? I could move Kelly to LB and Naismith to CB I suppose and put Cuddihy in at RB to give us an actual XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or move Goodwin to CH and put him in midfield or bring Mclear in and push Agnew back to centre mid. I just want to see 11 players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Monkey Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Dumbarton fans all saying Murray loves a 3-5-2. I suspect we might do something that is occasionally a 3-5-2, with Jim in front of the back four - not far off Div's OP, in fact - basically a back three when we're in possession and the full backs provide width. Puts a huge emphasis on the full-backs to attack, though - which if one of them was Carey, we might be geared up to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Have updated the team in the OP following the signing of Stuart Carswell. I've moved JIm back to centre half, and Kelly to left back, purely because we now have an actual starting XI. As more new recruits join I'll continue to update !

That starting XI should compete for a play off spot no problem. It's amazing how quickly things can start to look a little brighter..

stlucifer Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Still far from ready. Striker, left back and centre half still required as an absolute minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 The key areas that need strengthening for me is the wide areas. We have no experienced attacking players whatsoever on the right or left flank. That, a couple of defenders and an experienced goalie have to be the priorities.

nosferatu Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 What I'm getting here is that, apart from a keeper, a left back, centre half, striker and 2 wide players that we now have a decent first choice XI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 A CB a wide player (Carey) and a striker are the first positions we need IMO. Although the first 11 looks reasonable there are still positions that need covered and hopefully Ian sorts these in the next week or so. We were so unorganised last season and we don't want a repeat this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were so unorganised last season and we don't want a repeat this season What about a right sided wide player too? Width to me is the key to getting Thompson scoring goals. We need players who can consistently provide him with good crosses and cut backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Have updated the OP with the latest XI following the capture of Paul McMullan. Think he might play up front, but I've put him wide on the right and benched McLear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
