Good funny interview with Andy Geggan about 30 mins into the Soccer FM podcast. He’s a good larf.

Thanks, was funny. What a boi!

Reid was always picking up wee injuries

 

 

 

 

 

So I am surprised he was free'd

I see what you did there.

Boyle, Reid, Waite and Avci have all left

I assume this is the first tranche?

I can understand retaining Hart (as backup) & Ferguson (as a utility player - also think he'll be cheaper than Reid). 

All the best to Paddy, great at League One but not Championship quality. Will also miss big Reid.

You're butchering our team!
 

Apologies, I don't mean to be so callous but the step up is huge!

I would keep Crawford and McDaid. I just have a feeling they will be off elsewhere. 

As for who I'm proposing to chuck: it's the defence, which I think is hard to argue with and in central midfield a decision between an injury prone player, one who can't play on artificial pitches and an elder statesman.

See, that’s what worries me. Ending a season on such a high and being so emotionally attached to league winning players can without doubt cloud the judgment on whether they can cut it in the league above. 

To me the Championship isn’t just a bit of a step up, it’s a gigantic step up. You’ve got teams there who were Premiership teams not too long ago. It’s such a hard call to make on who was so good against your Alloas and Arbroath to who is good enough to compete with your Dundee Utds, ICTs etc. It really is night and day in terms of level of opponents.

We can make educated guesses but McCall has a hell of a headache trying to figure it out. Because if he gets more wrong than right, it’s 16/17 all over again.

^100% this. I think we need between 6 and 8 additions. To do that the same needs to go out tbh. My thoughts below:

I hate to say it but I think Crawford and McDaid will probably sign for other teams.

Ignoring the contracted guys (Higgins, Bell, Geggan & Moffat) as they won't be going anywhere.

I would only keep one of Docherty, Adams & Kerr. Not sure which for differing reasons.

The only defenders retained would be Rose. Reid maybe for versatility?

We need a new Goalkeeper, Left Back, Centre Half, Right Back, Right Winger, Central Midfielder, Left Winger.

Maybe a Central Forward (Ross Stewart from St Mirren maybe?) but I think Moffat, Moore and Shankland (assuming he stays)  should be enough supplemented by a loan signing.

[A great feeling at Cappielow..]

Morton have plush modern facilities...

You cannot be serious...
