Those two have been in and around the squad for a few seasons and should be ready to push on and make a bigger impact within the squad.

Guys like Mochrie, Graham, Neilson, K Smith, Meekison etc all very good players by the looks of it. If they are squad players then great, get them involved but if we are trying to force these guys into the first team it will end badly. Allow them time to develop.
Agreed. Appere and Chalmers look to be ready to push for a 1st team Tangerine jersey. Some of the others should be getting 1st team experience on loan elsewhere but still training with Utd during the week. Whilst a couple of them should maybe be getting chances to appear for us from the bench.

We could do with a couple of good seasoned pro's in though. A winger and an central attacking midfielder IMO.
