Need Harry Redknapp for that.

A decent no.9 as was shown with McManus can make all the difference, the flip side being if they are out for any length of time the replacements weren't good enough. It was the same in his spell with us, Sammon and McMillan were dugshite, whoever comes in will need to hit the ground running and hopefully stay injury free.

Luke Holt & Blair Sneddon join Gretna on loan for the rest of the season.

I think Mckay and Dixon will be fine as a pairing in league 1 the downside being if either is injured or suspended you saw what happened yesterday, Miller is not only slow but a liability and Hall is just murder. So another decent centre back required. Another combative midfielder wouldn't go amiss and I think two strikers although I feel it might only be one now that we have signed Wilson.

I think the next 3 or 4 signings will be key.

Perhaps if we hadn't been stuck in this league for another season, we might have been able to afford to pay him, Miller, Keena off. But then you look at players like Wilson and think would it really make a difference getting rid of them if we are signing players of his calibre. But I'd agree none of the strikers we have at the moment are good enough, one being shite is a worry but to have three is concerning.

The bit that gets me is we are dishing out two year and three year deals like confetti, you get it to maybe attract players to drop to our level but why give a guy that scored a Hat-trick against Irvine Meadow one, another that couldn't get a game at Cove, then you've got the back up keepers, surely you err on the side of caution in some of these cases. Telfer is worth a two year deal all day long compared to Wilson. But maybe some are on bobbins.

Strangely enough I thought Miller was competent enough today till his brainfart, immediately handing the initiative to Hamilton. And then Hall coming on put the tin lid on any points coming our way. Both should still not be anywhere near our first 11 and I'll extend that to our strikers there's not one who are good enough. Dowds did nothing nor did Keena and Wilson could be the new competition winner.

That's generous, won't get as much time on the ball against Accies, and if Miller is starting in centre midfield again we could get bossed. It's probably worth a punt at even money.

With Sneddon and Holt jnr now away on loan for the season, I was kind of half expecting a signing today, anything happening at the stadium today @Bainsfordbairn

I think he has another year left aswell.

U forget we were prone to an absolute clusterfuck even back then.

Was it not Clarke who scored in that game and we won 1-0?

Did Clark not go on to Hamilton and have a relatively decent spell with them? On the subject of players gone by Charlie Lytwyn anyone?

What time does ppv coverage actually start?

Either that or the plan is to overload on left backs and shoehorn Miller into right back (shudder) if Williamson gets injured.

If Gary Miller is the heartbeat of the midfield then I can't see us playing much football at all, same with Hall unsettling our defence every time the ball is in his vacinity. They might want to play football but your hamstrung in that department having those two diddies in the team.

The absolute shocker of a miss right in front of goal against Thistle at Firhill summed up his finishing prowess for me. All the time in the world, absolutely nobody near him, and he hits the post. He looked every bit a league 1 jobber last season and if he doesn't improve ten fold this season I can see him going back to East Fife or somewhere similar.

Not sure bringing in youth players on full time deals to pack out the squad is the best idea at least not yet. Crying out for better quality players in every department, yet everything seems to be pointing to either loans or giving the youths a deal. Sneddon has been in and around the first team for a season and he's no closer to getting a game regularly.

Your hoping it isn't a reoccurring injury, Josh Todd seemed to have had a lot of trouble with his shoulder and even before he signed for us.

Change the record they get backed every season from the off it's not the fans fault we are a basket case of a club who's board couldn't give two shits about the support apart from give us your money and don't you dare question us. The players last season were a fucking disgrace it's a joke that some of them are still here but I guess we reward failure. Sheerin will get backed as will the new players but there is absolutely nothing to get excited about with the current squad, your hoping they do well, I've not heard one fan say from our support nor that of other teams that our squad is the best in the league, that's because it's shite.

You get the feeling that Mcguffie and Nesbitt might be those sort of players aswell. Capable of flashes of brilliance but absolutely nowhere near consistent enough. You could maybe get away with one of those types of player in the starting 11 IF the rest were good enough to carry the team. What you don't need is three or four in the starting 11 especially at our level. Christ it's bad enough having Miller and Hall as passengers.

Not for long though, Lambie couldn't get rid of the better players fast enough so he could bring in his own duffers, if you look at the squad he inherited to the one he left it was full of shite and/or players who knew he was a clown and had chucked the towel in. This squad or what was left of it wasn't good enough when Sheerin took over, re signing some of the failures hasn't helped, and the new signings haven't been inspiring. It doesn't bode well at all. But we shall get some idea on Tuesday.

I think the only way Sheerin will be with us beyond this season is if we go up, if we don't it'll be another new manager again, if it is a failure you would hope the board bin Holt aswell but I can't see it. Deans seems convinced he's the best thing since sliced bread.
