    Next season

    All about planning for next season now for me

    We need to get some good momentum going in the remaining fixtures we can take forward

    We should only be playing players that we are considering / judging for next season or that are staying with us.

    Priorities to sign for me are an experienced centre half and a top goalkeeper

    AMB not made the grade as No 1 yet but can see how he develops before season end
    Dave R - fine as No 2
    R Adams - club seem to think he?s not ready yet

    Strain - I would re- sign. Underrated, good defensively and with crossing.
    Ferry - I expect sold
    Ferrigia - not convinced yet

    The centre halves - Ross G will be good but not suited to be captain. SCH I like. Iovu improved
    Need someone else

    Centre midfield - Strong but we will need to replace Sevelj if he goes

    Up front - if we sign the two from a- league we might be well covered.

    Plenty to do and we want to see something decent working on for next season

    I?d like to see likes of Stirton given some time to see what he can do

    We know Goodwin can be ruthless which is a positive. With the nucleus we have with Pan and Manny in midfield I feel we could build something to hit ground running next season

    Obviously goes without saying the likes of Sibbald who have shown loyalty elsewhere should not play again this season - decent player in his time when not injured but I wouldn?t even let him in the training ground now

    I would have said that Sibbald would be professional enough to give his all on the pitch.....however, this has shown that he ain't all that professional!
    Maybe the club should just look at sacking him as I don't see why we should be wasting money on his wages if he isn't playing.

    It?s a good idea to get rid of him. Maybe we would have to pay Sibbald off and he could go and be cheerleading Falkirk for rest of season

    On wider point I don?t think we need to worry about replacing him - Sevelj will be bigger loss if he is away next season

    I think priorities are:

    1. Goalkeeper
    2 central defender
    3. Replacing Fatah. We are going to need another match winner with creativity

    Get rid of two Aussies in MB and Strain. Hopefully the new Aussies will be better at football than having them playing the didgeridoos. Richards released with KK heading back to his club. I'd give Dolcek a deal on the proviso that he is played upfront with no defensive responsibilities. His main objective is to create, score for the team and hold the ball up.

    There's absolutely no reason why Dolcek shouldn't also have a responsibility to help his teammates out defensively. I watched PSG dismantle Chelsea last night and the boy Barcola scored a cracker and could have had a couple more,but it didn't stop him getting blocks and defensive headers in too. I'm not a Goodwin fan as most people are aware, but if the boy is too bloody lazy to be a team player then he can rightly f*ck off.

    Rumours are that the club are wanting to sign up KK

    When he has been brought on recently Dolcek has been really ineffectual and missed chances. Frustrating as he came in with some great goals

    I think Strain is good. He makes some good crosses and assists. Got us the pen last season when we beat Aberdeen on the last day
