Building a squad for the Premiership

Tillson getting a deal?

I thought the old centre backs looked like old centre backs when they came on. Not so much Holt, but distinct difference between both sets.

Looked to me like 2 guys who were still recovering from their injuries.

Sad to see Wotherspoon is moving on, but understandable given his recent history with injuries and would be little more than a squad player for us next season.

Agree. Mentioned it before. If holt and Gallagher were able to play the remainder of the season. I don’t think we get the performances from the team we got since graham and McClendon came. We were far more direct with these two. None of this passing about the back and slowing the game down.

Don’t get me wrong. Both played a massive part in our promotion and we owe them a great deal but the lack of urgency and continual diagonal balls played out from Gallagher may not have made a comfortable viewing.

He hasn't done enough to earn a deal.

Injuries apart, I thought he looked pretty steady when played. SPL experience. I would have given him a one year deal or a pay as you play sort of deal (if they exist now) He always took responsibility when on the park , directing traffic etc.

Depends who we bring in right enough.

You can't earn, if yi ain't workin' sort oh thing...

Utd/Goodwin have to be ruthless with player assessment, last night reminds you of the potential, but we need to put these banter years behind us.

No doubt mclelland/Graham style helped us get the ball forward and make chances, but can't forget the base Gallagher/Holt gave us first half of season. Definitely a lack of pace in defence.

We have to ruthless, I agree, but ruthless in all areas of the side.
The brutal reality is that without an injection of 6 or 7 players we will definitely struggle next season. There are some players in and out of contract that we need to let go. It's harsh but we are in the business of winning football games. I'm not going to name these players until the celebrations are over because they all deserve thanks for the job they've done.

My worry though is that we won't be ruthless enough. Fingers crossed.
