True, ... looking at who we still have on our books if you take out all the on loan first team personnel, I see no-one other than McKenzie and Duncan ready to step up in place of Scales or Hayes (yeah, I know, he's still with us, but the sooner he gets an understudy ... ).

I'd like to believe Barron could hit some form, but right now, he is not showing any of the promise he had not that long ago.

Bavidge needs more time ... and will only get more first team minutes from coming off the bench in games already won.

Kennedy? Hmm. if he's not getting a game now, he's not getting a game in an improved side. Likewise Richardson.

Of the loanees out, I would only take Ngwenya, Milne and Besuijen back .... and hope they can push on, but even if all the above works out, we still need some solid, quality signings from back to front if we are gonna improve.

Flair players do excite, but as evidenced, just getting guys in like McDonald, Pollock and Shinnie who know their job and stick to it is key.
