    At the end of last season I’d probably have been content with re-signing Donnelly as a squad player but that was before we signed up Lyons/Polworth and kept a hold of McInroy. We’ve essentially just swapped Power for Magennis and went with it again. 
     

    We’ve definitely improved other positions, on paper, but badly need at least one more option upfront. 


    Not anymore. Joined us on-loan for the season. What can we expect from and Alston?

    We would have 6 centre mids with McInroy’s addition so I highly doubt we’ll be signing another one.

    Agree with that, I can’t see us signing another CM. Although, I do think we’re missing someone to break up play. I thought Shaun Byrne would be ideal for that but we need to now prioritise getting some defenders in and also another wide player.

     

    Edit: we would have 7 CMs: Bannigan, Stanway, Lyon, Robinson, Williamson, Alston, McInroy

    The only way is up, Peterhead always a tough away day, but need to better.

     

    no doubt the everyone’s great brigade will jump on my back for this, but hopefully a few signings are on there way. If no, no matter how good Doolin is, we are in trouble.

    Still 3 weeks away from the league games starting. We’ll be fine.

    Billy was the tanned one no 6 I think went down in second half ,  injured his knee a bit as heard Tam telling Geordie to get him off as he was toiling 

    wee bit anoraking here but 

    could the no 6 have been Billy Owens just released by Partick Thistle ? 

    Definitely is going by the photos. He can play RB and CM. He was very highly-rated a few years but I think the covid delays seemed to hamper his development.

    There are probably about half a dozen in our squad who fall into that category - Shields being an obvious one given he was bounced out on loan to QP last season and has generally had a fairly shite time at Fir Park.

    Barry Maguire and Robbie Mahon were also loaned out but are still under contract while you also have guys like Bevis Mugabi and Ricki Lamie who went from regular first team starters under previous managers to bench players when Kettlewell came in.

    Kettlewell’s inherited a fairly large squad with an amount of budget tied up in contracted players who didn’t get minutes for whatever reason.

    There are a few of our squad who’d be a good fit for Thistle tbh.

    Would absolutely take Lamie and/or Mugabi but reckon they would be outwith our budget.

     

    Looking at Premiership clubs who have players under contract but didn’t play much last season, there’s some decent players: Kerr McInroy, Jay Henderson, Cammy McPherson, Cammy Ballantyne. 

  6. The 3 of them leaving was expected but it’s still a kick in the stones, especially if they end up at other teams within this league. Whilst Holt and Docherty aren’t spectacular, they’re both very good at this level. Turner had been hit and miss until Doolan came in but he’s shown what he’s capable of since them and been tremendous. Replacing those 3 with a reduced budget will be extremely difficult.
