AW saint Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Thinking about the transfer window. If you could strengthen the side what position do we need better quality in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could strengthen the side what position do we need better quality in? For me it's be another midfield player. I think O'Hara and Boyd Munce are a wee bit too similar to play together so if Baccus is struggling with injury/suspension I'd like one more option in the middle of the park. That's it really. The return of Ayunga should like a signing, so I think we're ok on that front. We're well covered defensively - both in the back 3 and at wing back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could strengthen the side what position do we need better quality in? I'd like a quality left winger - would be good to have the option of having pace down the left. Kiltie does a good job but his best work is done in central areas. If we had Tanser and a left winger overlapping we could seriously cause opposition managers a headache Someone like Lewis McCann, Matty Kennedy or Scott Tiffoney In dreamland I would take Youan from Hibs Edited November 10, 2023 by Doakes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given we've a number of players due to leave next summer, it would be great to get some replacements in the January window so they get 6 months to get up to speed for our European campaign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could strengthen the side what position do we need better quality in? Unless anyone leaves, I’d be looking at positions where the current first choice is unlikely to be here next season. Essentially, right wing-back, defensive midfield and probably goalkeeper - would likely make the transition over the summer easier, although could leave us with a slightly bloated squad until June. Would also take a 20-goal striker… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what Bolton is supposed to be ? Does anyone else think Connor McMenamin needs a wee spell on the bench ? Lately he seems to be low in confidence and has been struggling to zip past his defender. Maybe a spell as a last 20 minutes impact substitute might benefit him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough forward players to bench him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhame Buddie Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Aye, James Bolton is a bit of a mystery. Presumably he was signed as defensive cover but it’s hard to imagine he’ll ever get a game if Flynn is the preferred option to fill in for Strain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of contract end of season i believe I'm certain he'll be one of the players that Martin Foyle will be running the rule over. He falls into the category of a very good player, but a bit raw and needs to be more consistent. Ideal material for Robinson and Co. to mould into a more complete player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a spell as a last 20 minutes impact substitute might benefit him. Yes Bolton is supposed to be cover for CB and RB but he's not getting any match time for a while now. So why not? If he was as good as we'd hoped he'd have dislodged Goga or at least came on for Strain more often - unless he's got some issues. My point is Taylor is a real gem - good football brain, speed, great in the tackle or in the air, hits good passes mostly etc. Another like him would be a huge asset and we could leak less goals. I agree on Conor. He is tricky but is either not adjusted to Scottish football yet or not as good as we hoped. Plenty others deserving a start ahead of him and he could play the last half hour. Be interesting when Jonah is fully fit and on form to see how we will play. Our squad though is the best we've had for quite some time with subs that are good too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medals Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 O'Hara missing. Bench not offering much midfield cover like for like. Can see Goga moving in there if Baccus or CBM comes off. Here's hoping for 3 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an enforcer is needed Gogic can move into midfield plenty cover in defence and the striker department. I see a Saints win here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
