MallanandFlanagan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I don't think we can afford to start building a squad until that "possible start date" becomes a "probable start date" or even a "definite start date". As for signing targets, it's going to be a complete free-for-all, with most teams starting from scratch. I suppose the teams that did well enough last year might stick with what they know and re-sign a lot of last season's squad. Better the devil you now and all that. That wouldn't be an advisable strategy for ourselves though. Assuming we stick with Johnston, which unfortunately seems likely, hopefully he has learned some major lessons from last season. We basically require a whole squad, but priorities have to be; a reliable goalkeeper, actual wide men instead of 10 central midfielders none any better than the others, and an energetic partner for Dobbie. Of the ones released there isn't anyone I'm desperate to see return, but I'd be fine with Semple, Mercer and Lyon returning. Kilday, Murray and Hamilton would be acceptable.I think you have hit the nail on the head there regarding start dates. How can you plan for what is basically an unplannable (is that a word?) situation. I would really like to see Semple, Kilday, Mercer, Oliver and Murray return. The goalkeeper position will be the most crucial position to fill as this has really affected us in the last two seasons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Leighfield surely now deserves a chance I think we will have a young squad next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie McDonald is the obvious choice but if he has turned down a deal at Killie then he will like must full time players out of our price range . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also missed a fair bit lately but slowly catching up. Was just pointing out that the person who got banned recently was a right dick but everyone seemed to bite to him and reply every time. But an old timer asking for info doesn't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I read through a few pages to try and get up to date. Was a waste of time as there was just arguments so thought I'd just ask hoping someone would be kind enough to update me but instead I'm getting interrogated, don't know if that's normal for new accounts? As for the trip - it was work related. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
