bigy 0 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 With the SFA upholding their sham punishment, it looks like we're going to be stuck with the same players and kids to see out next season. In some ways this will provide our younger players with opportunity to develop, but what realistically can we expect from next season if the current situation doesn't change? Our squad, assuming we lose no more players and without bringing in more of the youth team, is looking like: GK - McGregor, Alexander, Gallacher Defence - Goian, Broadfoot, Whittaker, Wallace, Bocanegra, Perry, Hegarty Midfield - Edu, Davis, Naismith, Aluko, Bedoya, Ness, Mitchell, McCabe, Hutton, Fleck Forwards - Lafferty, Healy, McCulloch, Little, Kerkar, Hemmings, McKay We still have an experienced starting XI within the above team, but obviously that's going to have to be combined with the youth players throughout the season. Looking objectively, we're very light up front although if Aluko can play like he did last Sunday then it's not so bad, but we would need Lafferty, Little and maybe McKay to step up to the mark. In midfield and defence though i'd say we're still far and away the strongest team in Scotland. I'd therefore fancy our chances in the league, particularly with the motiviation we'll all have. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Any thoughts? Aye! The club need to get Aluko, Little and Kerkar's contracts extended pronto. Healy too as long as he's willing to accept an appropriate salary. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done nothing don't expect anything. 17 year old live and hope. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,878 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Seems to be a lof of chat suggesting Lafferty is on his way. Especially given his dust up with the gaffer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point pete and we can still sign young players from abroad. We also have Hemmings if he can get over his injury problems as well as other promising youngsters. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Its all very well hoping for the experience guys to stay but they go back up to 100% of their wage from June and I wonder if they are going to be affordable. I think we could let Whittaker and Edu go from the squad in opening post. Would like to see Hemmings get over his injuries. Dont want him to turn into another Fleck with a lot of hope. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
