ulysses Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Thought it'd be useful to start a topic with a list of the current squad, and to update it along the way when we make signings. Next to the players I've listed the positions that each player can play, based on what I've seen or heard. Feel free to add suggestions or amendments! Maybe a mod could pin this for easy reference? Just an idea. Goalkeepers Jamie Langfield Scott Gallacher Defenders Jason Naismith (RB/CB ) Gary Irvine (LB/RB ) Jack Baird (CB ) Ben Gordon (CB ) Andy Webster (CB ) Gary Mackenzie (CB ) Midfielders Rocco Quinn (CM) Stevie Mallan (CM) Kyle Hutton (CM) Lewis Morgan (LM/RM) Lewis McLear (RM/FWD) Calum Gallagher (RM/FWD) Jordan Stewart (LM/LB ) Forwards David Clarkson (ST) John Sutton (ST) Note: this is as per the official site - there are obviously U20s that could be included, such as Kyle McAllister (based on his appearances last season), but I have left them out for now.

kevo_smfc Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 On paper, our defence is looking as strong as it has been for years imo. Midfield i feel needs one or two more and up front, two strikers required with Gallagher deputising when needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbles old paperboy Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Wasn't overly impressed with Langfield last year. I know he had a couple of man of the match games, but I am hoping we sign a keeper who will either take over the No.1 spot or push Jamie all the way. The midfield is looking more balanced, on paper, than last year's. Hopefully we add a goalkeeper and a couple of forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotherwellSaint Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Spoiler Declan McManus has rejected deal at Morton to go back could be worth a shout as could offer him higher wage and knows the league well added bonus would be all the soapdodgers would be raging. thoughts?

MotherwellSaint Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 not been linked with anyone else but most of our signings haven't been linked with us so who knows think he could do a job for us a good alternative if cant get shanks back imagine how raging they would be if he scored winner on 1st league game of season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbud1877 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 The squad is really starting to take shape now after the Sutton signing. 3 more would leave us in a strong position, pace up front and in wide areas has to be a priority. Interestingly we're yet to explore the loan market, let's hope Rae and Faz can secure some gems! COYS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherwellSaint Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 we seem to be light in cover in midfield if mallan Quinn or hutton were to be injured feel should be area we should be looking at wonder if morgan,mclear and mcallister will be going out on loan or if rae will be giving them a chance next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

div Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 We're in a far far stronger position than we were going into the start of last season and there is still over a month to go until the league campaign starts. Here's the starting XI from our opening day defeat at Ibrox last season; Ridgers, Naismith, Conlan, Baird, Kelly, McMullan, Howieson, Carswell, Agnew, Mallan, Thompson Easy to be wise after the event and all that but that back four was just asking for trouble. Look at a potential starting XI if we were to have our opening game this weekend; Langfield, Naismith, Irvine, MacKenzie, Webster, Quinn, Hutton, Mallan, Gallagher, Clarkson, Sutton Only two survivors from that opening day lineup of last season and I think it's perfectly fair to say all 9 of the replacements are incremental improvements on the players they have replaced.

shull Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Indeed, that's why I believe we can win the League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, however Watson and Shankland were brought in and arguably they went on to be our best players. Both have since moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulysses Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'd love Naismith to be the new captain. It'll probably go to Webster though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherwellSaint Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I don't Webster should be first choice form was patchy last year id go with McKenzie and Gordon as centre half pairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

div Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Little doubt that the manager is fed up with us being a "nice"team to play against. We're going to be a big strong physical unit next season. Looking forward to seeing the Buddie Bruisers in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
