D'Jaffo Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 If you’re talking about pace then it has to be in the full back, central midfield and wide areas. I don’t think every signing is going to be a sprinter but McCall spoke about the big jump from League 1 to the Championship being pace. I have absolutely no idea who Brown plans on keeping on next season but I’m safe in the knowledge that he’ll be wanting to get a head start on planning for next season and that means getting players locked down early on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Musonda has definitely given food for thought as has Sanders who has improved hugely since his Bambi on ice displays. Dowds would be a really good start too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrAtlanta Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The focus after today has to be shifted to central midfield. McHugh started okay today but fell away as the game went on. Dempsey might’ve had his worst performance in an Ayr jersey yet however. Countless attacks broke down from one of his misplaced passes. Again I thought today looked like our best back 4 combination all season. The 4 centre back pairing seems to work well probably down to the fact Stanger and Musonda are good defenders while also being 2 of our best ball-players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 McHugh goes and Murdoch will hopefully be back in next season, we still need someone else. Crawford is out of contract at Morton I think. We really need someone who can play the Mark Kerr role and dictate play or someone who can carry the ball forward like Crawford to play in a midfield with the three we already have at the club. Id expect Smith to be freed, McGinley and maybe Rose will move to Hamilton if they win the play-offs. Willoughby, Sanders, Dowds, McHugh, Dowds and Chalmers will need replaced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) I'm still convinced he will go with a 3 at the back and wing backs next season and that's where the pace will come in, Sila and Dempsey can cover those more Defensive Midfielders but I would like a good hard midfielder in the mold of Brown himself in there, we need a creative midfielder who can put his foot on the ball and make something happen a Cammy Smith type and maybe some one to come in for Murphy at that 60 minute mark but we might have that in Franny, Would be happy with the centre backs we have as long as we invest in those wing backs. New Keeper new RWB Stanger RCB Sanders CB Musonda LCB new LWB new CM new CM new ACM RF Chalmers CF Dowdes LF Murphy Edited April 27 by Superhursty7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckfast Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 We are after a couple of loan deals from Celtic, 2 Japanese players are what I've heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 i'd like us to try and do more gambles on the league below the 2 players we did bring in from down there turned out to be a success (Stanger) and did his role well enough (Mutch as back up keeper) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 I think our overall squad could look something like this next season. This is on the assumption that we keep the likes of Clarke, Dowds, Sanders and Chalmers. Might be optimistic but I think they will stay. Fans will be split on Clarke but I like what he gives us in terms of distribution and how comfortable he is on the ball. I had also heard that Brown wasn't convinced on McGinty for next season so wouldn't be shocked if he was away and replaced. Goalkeepers Josh Clarke, Robbie Mutch, Ollie Ecrepont Right Back Nick McAllister, Dylan Watret Left Back Paddy Reading Centre Back Jack Sanders, George Stanger, Frankie Musonda Central Midfield Ben Dempsey, Roy Syla Attacking Midfield Logan Chalmers, Jamie Murphy, Scott Tomlinson Striker Anton Dowds, Fraser Bryden, Mark McKenzie If the above is the case then it gives us a solid start in recruitment. We're probably still looking for a left footed centre back, left back, defensive midfielder, winger and a striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of Celtic’s Japanese players are eons ahead of the Championship unfortunately. Kobayashi is the only one not playing regularly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 We may well end up with a couple but I can’t see Browns first port of call being asking Celtic for a couple of loan deals. He’ll want players that are committing to the club. Once it gets to the end of the window then we can start supplementing what we have with a loan or two. I’ll eat my (and everyone else’s) hat if we sign an actual first team player from Celtic regardless of nationality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we intend to be promotion candidates we need to have a squad capable of competing. Including inevitable injuries to 1st team fullbacks. Glass half full take is that they push on and improve. That said, 2 new fullbacks please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placidcasual Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 2 hours ago, D'Jaffo said: Sounds about right. I think there’s guys that looked done that Brown has managed to get back to their best. I was all in favour of getting shot of Musonda but he was very good today albeit I’d want a proper left back playing every week. Musonda was excellent, had the Killie reject comfortably in his back pocket all afternoon. McKenzie looks a lot better thru the middle. He's never going to be a goalscorer but held it up really well and put a shift in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 i wish there was a photo of him at the Queens Park game when he basically threw Syla back onto the pitch from that moment i knew he was going to be different to the last couple of managers we've had 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
