    The new eleven

    I'm not sure if 12 new signings is it or is there another one or two to come yet...
    But we've signed 2 goalies & 10 outfield players so time to put them in a formation & 2-5-3 is all we got -

    LEWIS*
    SCOBBIE-QUINN
    KING-BRIELS-FYVIE-STANTON*-McMULLAN
    McDONALD-KEATINGS-N'KOYI

    at least it lets us know where we've strengthened - a bit thin at the back maybe?
    * = loan

    When you see it down like that its a whole new mid and forward line. Still WIP but they have already started to gel a bit - good to see when 5 or 6 of them are fully fit in next few weeks

    I dont think we are that weak anywhere in the team barring a target man. While i dont believe that the second choice is as good as the first in all departments, everyone in reserve can do a job for the team. Its not as if we are back at Hamilton looking at the bench for a game changer.

    We are weak at the back with Scobbie out for anything up to 12 weeks. No cover for LB

    Yeah fair enough. Don't really know anything about our reserve full backs or indeed reserve center backs

    Am I right however in thinking that Flood has filled in at LB in the past?

    Doubt it as he's right foot footed, I would think murdoch would come in left back if robson was to get injured or a emergency loan

    I have a memory of Murdoch switching to LB and Nicholls in at RB second half of a game last season. Think he did ok as well. Just dont put Toshney there!

    Would the young laddie Hornby not be considered in those circumstances?
