Next season

[NOSCOTCAPS]

GK suggestions - Roos from Killie not sure what contract he is on but almost spit of the legendary Sieb!

[LSArab]

A lot depends on who goes down

If st Mirren were to go down Gogic is the type of player we need

A few more like him to toughen us up. Someone to replace Fatah and his creativity and a brilliant GK needed after all the trauma of last few years

[shedka]

Lewis Smith at Livi as I said before the game, good player and was good at Accies before

26yo now, ready made player for this level

[LSArab]

It would be good to get some more Scots / Brits for next season

You do need a good strong 💪🏻 nucleus for a team.

I thinks Sevelj, Manny A and Pan have central midfield covered

The defence and GK are obvious points for improvement

Plus a creative player to replace Fatah

We have 2 creative players if a bit inconsistent and don’t suit the work ethic. Traps injured who is one and Dolcek if allowed to play and you can forgive his lack of defensive qualities, which can be worked upon. I would keep the latter as he is at full fitness and just needs some minutes to regain match sharpness. 10 mins here and there or as a ‘forced hand’ for any player though does not inspire confidence though in fans or the player.

Whatever happened to big Sam McClelland? I remember him being terrific in those closing weeks of the Championship season two years ago. If we’re going to let go KK and Bert after the calamities of this season, would he not be a decent shout?

I think I mentioned him some months back somewhere on another thread. But I believe he is recovering from injury and will be out of contract with St J at the end of the season. But I would agree definitely worth a shout. Bert I think is actually a good player but slow and cannot be played in a back 3. KK goes from the sublime to the ridiculous about every game and one for rolling about after challenges. Could be decent back up.

The plan must be to let Bert and Dolcek go and I suspect the same with Traps.

They are all loan or out of contract

KK I think the plan is to sign as he has some potential - he needs to keep his concentration better which is the big question mark

I wouldn?t be surprised if Ross G is sold and Ferry is obviously being sold

Iovu despite Saturday and SCH are central defenders we definitely want to keep and develop and have an experienced defender with them

It is going to be another big rebuild

[PT_Arab]

Reading this thread and the talk of another rebuild got me thinking that we will need a good number of pre season games to get players bedded in and get them used to playing together. Obviously we won't have European games this time and that brought me to the realisation that we will be in the League Cup group process again. Man I hate those games!

[shedka]

I don't mind them, for me it's been a good thing to introduce, was what the league cup originally was when it started in 1946, was always group stages for years, only stopped maybe late 70s or early 80s, then maybe changed to try leg ties before becoming Scottish Cup light for awhile until ten years ago when they changed to this format

Would rather we missed them due to being in Europe but still decent games to have and it can propel you into the league season if you play it right, see Hearts this year (extreme example right enough)
