Issue is the replacement would’ve been Ompreon or Wilson. Another option upfront badly needed.

We won’t be near the playoffs with performances like that. Positive first- Kabia was a nightmare for the Montrose defence. I’d be looking to get him tied down for next season (not that he’ll want to join our rabble). The real worry is that the defence still looks a shambles despite all the players signed. Mills to me looks like a youngster not ready for first team football. Telfer and Nesbitt poor in midfield and we need another option upfront as Dowds was poor.

Kabia is really night and day compared to Keena and Ruth. Fast, constantly pressing and looking to get involved in play and causing all sorts of problems for defenders.

3 good opportunities that Nesbitt has wasted

Good for us to have another option at centre half. Looks like McCann will be for the bench once Dixon is back with ATS going to left back. Possibly also an indication that one or McKay/Hall are on the way out.

Jakubiak would be a fantastic signing

Seems like it- it’s definitely the first time they’ve talked about the benefits of allowing people to go into the office

Which is exactly how it should be tbh. It should be for individual employers and employees to work out what works for both parties on an individual basis rather than diktats from the SG.

There’s a bounce game against Dunfermline today apparently

Edjenguele was a decent player actually

Would be good alongside a new DM then to allow Telfer to play in behind the strikers.

Murray would be a good option for us to have upfront imo. Certainly an upgrade on Keena. Connell would be an excellent signing on paper but I’m not sure we really need another playmaker as such. I’d take him as a replacement for Nesbitt/Morrison though.

An upgrade on Miller definitely needed but I’d be astonished if we could do better than Telfer in this league. He’ll be in the championship next season whether we go up or not imo.

Wilson won’t be going anywhere unless it’s back to Elgin or outside Scotland as he can’t play for a third SPFL club this season.

I suspect the testing will be kept in place in Scotland ‘for now’.

I’d be astonished if Rennie wasn’t looking for another striker of better quality with the wages freed up by Keena. I just hope it’s not the name that’s been discussed previously.

I’d presume Rennie is well aware of that and the wages saved from Keena will be used to bring better quality in

I’d presume Rennie will have a replacement already lined if he’s sanctioned the move tbh

Excellent news to free up wages for me as long as we can get an experienced replacement in, which I’m sure Rennie will be aiming to do.

It would be a no brainer for me if we could get an experienced striker in as opposed to a guy who at best contributes the odd good set piece. I don’t get the love in from some at all- he generally contributes absolutely nothing. I suspect he was taken off yesterday as he wasn’t involved in play at all rather than injury.

Exactly but if hypothetically we could use Keena’s wage on an experienced striker instead, that would improve the squad imo. Ompreon and Wilson will be on buttons, are unlikely to attract much interest and in Wilson’s case can’t go elsewhere. Keena on the other hand I suspect would have teams interested.

If we can bring in an experienced striker to replace Keena we’d have better cover up front than we do now

But the point is who can be moved on to free up wages. Wilson can’t play for another SPFL club this season and I don’t see Ompreon having many takers. That leaves Keena who I imagine will be on a decent wage and would have more interest.

Yep- I’ve no idea why as he generally contributes absolutely nothing

For me absolute must haves over the next week are a centre half and defensive mid. Another centre back who can cover at right back, a goalkeeper and an experienced striker (with Keena and/or Ompreon moving the other way) would also be welcome.
