Time for Ashgar to step up

Think Bolton been ok without being exceptional. Not sure McMillan the answer, but surprised with his pace he hasn’t at least been given more of a run off bench, at least he would be able to chase a ball in behind the opposition if through the middle.

My thoughts too. If we're going with this squad, throw McMullan in behind Shankland and tell him to run with the ball and stretch defenders. Play to his strengths. As sh*te as he his at crossing & as frustrating as he is, he had something like 9 assists last year. That's got to count for something given we can't create a single chance in some games just now. He's not the answer, but he's worth a try.

Agree with all of that except the Connolly part . I know you think Butcher is this magnificent midfield general but I think its easy to see he's struggling in there so why not put him back at centre half in a pairing with Reynolds? We honestly can't keep going with Connolly at CH that flogs a goal every other game.

Its still too early to judge Edwards but I was hoping he'd come right in and be a Fojut/Webster hybrid and solve our central defence but it's no looking likely.

Agree with all of this.

We have lots of championship standard players quality wise who should be here as emergency or subs not first team starters. Unless we get some quality in we could struggle. I do think MM will keep us up but with a few good players we could do top 6. Hamilton, Livingston, Ross Count, Hibs all added better quality to their teams - we've bought for the future in too many aspects. McMullan isnt the answer either in my view but we need something.
