Saint Garf Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) A distinct lack of the letters FWD in that list. Hopefully some movement soon in that area. McMullan listed as a forward there but would almost certainly play wide if we had another option up top... For what it's worth, this would be my team for tomorrow... -------------Ridgers -------Baird---------Kelly Naismith----------------Conlan --------Mallan----Agnew ------------Howieson McMullan-------------McLear -----------Thompson Gives us a strong looking bench of... Wilks Goodwin Carswell Cuddihy Gow ETA...tempted by Gow up front, just looked a bit more mobile than Thompson, but the big man just got the nod, I'd back him against League 2 opposition.

There's no danger Carswell will be a sub for us, he'll be a key player this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie88 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Ridgers (GK) Naismith (RB) Conlan (LB) Goodwin (CB) Kelly (CB) McMullan (RM) Carswell (CM) Mallan (CM) Agnew (CM) Howieson (LM) Thompson (CF) With Agnew attacking from midfield to support Thommo, that's how I would line up at the moment.

That looks like our best line up. Nor sure how attacking Agnew is. I thought Howieson drifted - a bit Stark like- into a couple of good positions against Bradford (without the ball unfortunately) I hope it's Howieson that turns out to be an attacking threat. Looking forward to tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leolovesstmfc Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 1 Riggers 2 Naismith 3 Conlan 4 (still to be signed) 5 Kelly? 6 Goodwin 7 Mallan 8 Carswell 9 McMullan 10 Thompson 11 Gow I still think we need 2 CB and another striker! WHY DO WE NEVER SIGN CENTRAL DEFENDERS?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think we need only one centre half, one right back (or one centre half that can play right back) and two strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Also, I think Baird is a better centre half than Goodwin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulysses Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Kelly will be at CB this season, so probably take Goodwin out and put Conlan at left-back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Hasselhoff Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Id fling Gallagher in right away. Front 3 of Morgan Gallagher and McMullan. Be very dangerous on the counter attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garf Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) If we get Shankland, Langfield (or another experienced keeper) and a decent centre half I'll be getting towards being happy with the squad. Only a couple of concerns; I would be a bit worried if anything happened to Naismith, as we don't have much cover for right-back, still thinking that Rooney was maybe a bit of a missed opportunity. And a little worried about grit in midfield if Goodwin isn't playing, especially with Murray mentioning this evening how the Championship can be more physical than tactical at times. Every chance that Carswell and/or Agnew are capable, it's hard to tell in friendlies, but they look more cultured than combative. But, to be honest, these are pretty minor concerns, mostly based on big "What ifs" so overall I'm pretty pleased. Roll on Friday!

Drew Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 In an ideal world, we'd have cover for both full back positions (in addition to another centre half). As always, availability of funds will be the stumbling block. The manager is right to talk up the current squad, but will know where we need to strengthen.
