We have made a necessary decision to switch to the hybrid system imo. It could give us a good blend of squad and depth that was lacking last season. If we are looking at players from within the division, Ross Forbes would be a tremendous signing, he may be out of contract too. Any Sons fans that can clarify? Thanks

Sorry for gatecrashing, but do you think Blair Henderson could be a viable signing for Raith this summer? We are running a hybrid system so he wouldn't need to go FT and I would imagine we could chuck him a really good PT wage on top of his day job.

FWIW, I don't think a switch to a hybrid system or to part-time would be an exact science to improve the squad, but it would likely give us much more depth to our squad which is what is seriously shooting us in the foot this season, along with exceptionally poor performances. I just feel that the top players at this level are PT and it would be foolish to think that remaining FT, if we fail to be promoted that is, would work out any better than switching. It's all about perspective I suppose, however our finances can't be great with two, and very possibly a third season in this league. I would much rather be a PT bigger fish than a FT tiddler tbh.

Hello, long-time lurker, first-time poster. To throw my tuppance into this debate, I feel that a move to a hybrid system is an absolute must if we are going to build a stronger squad for next season. Historically, the full-time side usually wins this league (notable exceptions aside), but it has been proven that we are working at such a low bar of FT player, that almost any advantage has gone when you compare to a solid team like Arbroath who have built this side over 3 seasons. Without taking their contract information to be impeccably accurate, a quick snifter on transfermarkt shows there are a lot of decent PT players out of contract in May, a fair few of which have stood out against us over the past 2 seasons. Players like Kyle Turner, Aaron Dunsmore, Jordan Kirkpatrick, Dale Hilson, Scott Linton, Mark McGuigan, Blair Henderson etc to name just a few.
