Yep, it's been 6 an' half a dizzen between the three ... but I would be more defensive o' JG if he got us a decent defence

3-5-2 doesna work ... as evidenced by the goals we are losin' fae balls comin in fae wide areas, but ... we dinna hae a decent back 4 unless we are playin' McRorie at the back ... or Richardson and/or Hayes. Add tae that, two of our best defenders this season have been Coulson and Scales - both loanees!

That's the rod he's made for his ain 'back'. As a former defender, Goodwin must be acutely aware that this is the January window priority #1.

Funding? No problem. Offload Watkins, Polvara, Morris, Roberts while they can still walk without the aid of a stick.

Out on loan players? ... sell McLennan and Campbell, see if Ngwenya and Hancock are any good as cover.... and if a strong central defence can be put in place, fk it ... sell Stewart as well while he still has a crumb of credibility, and Play McCrorie in mid, complete wi' captain's armband, alongside Ramadani. (Barron can fight for a place or **** off for some decent cash anywhere ither than Cheeksville).

Keep Besuijen ... cos if Duk learns tae play a pass mair often than take on an entire defence 25 yards fae goal, he will be off for good cash, and Vinnie might 'fill a hole'.

Richardson?? hmm ... wi a decent CH pairing, he could get better .... his forward runs doon the wing are often mair effective than Kennedy's.

Hayes? ... be good if he could help Duncan become the 'new Hayes'.... til then, or until his legs go, keep him!

Kennedy? Hmmm ... in the words of that childhood rhyme concerning a young lass with the forehead curl, .. 'when he is good, he is very, very good. But when he is bad, he is horrid.' ..... but wi' a decent full/wing back in support/overlap, he would be good mair times than nae .... so it all comes down tae gettin in the new Miller/McLeish two man wall .... over to you Jim ... it's a caker .. ken?
