The 18 man squad

[shedboy71]

Forgettable first half with some good signs. Apart from the howler, Deniz had some good saves and was good to see the keeper come for a corner ball. McMullan continues his promise and some nice football to watch.

cheers - in a funny way quite refreshing so many new players given our last few seasons

On the negative, i looked at the bench and had that Hamilton feeling that there was not too much on the bench to come on and change a game. We need another striker or 2 and maybe a few others just to cover things.

Where did the lad Thomas come from though? 2 brief looks at him and i think he looks quite good.

up until today i never heard his name mentioned. When I saw it on the team sheet I thought it was a typo

[Tannadicebunnet]

Thomas is an ex Southampton youngster .

GB you could blame RM for the new signings to replace Bell but you can't blame him for letting Bell go since he obviously made it clear he didn't want to stay. So it's not "risky letting him go" is it

As Chick said the Southampton lad has been given a new 3 year contract so they must rate him highly. Too early to write off these keepers imo

We have signed 2 keepers with almost no experience of 1st team football which is very risky.Mehmet as i recall was a back up keeper at Falkirk who Houston allowed to leave,he went to Port Vale played 9 games and was released when they went down.I cannot believe McKinnon would allow Bell to leave without getting an experienced keeper in first.

Believe it.

[SmedDUm]

Who is Archie Thomas? Is he from Southampton as well?

If you Yahoo him he's either a lighting cameraman or a painter & decorator in Cambridge.

[Skolcorner]

Hahaha! Hopefully he'll be able to strip the ball off defenders and score in a flash!

[Sandeman]

Lets assume Bell is leaving. Also ill leave Donaldson in there as it seems Quinn doesnt come in until he goes.

Only 2 spaces left in Ray's 18 man squad but I am thinking surely he will need to squeeze that up to 19/20 minimum to feel comfortable?

Rumours of Stanton are there and Ray has already mentioned the need for another 1 or maybe 2 strikers along with a central midfielder. Squad will take shape if we get Quinn, a creative midfielder who can play deep and another player up top. Also wouldnt say no to Stanton. Played well against us last season. Can play wide and centrally too. Good dribbler.

1 Lewis
2 Murdoch
3 Scobbie

15 Briels
16 Deniz

18

So...
17 Stanton
18 McDonald
19 Fyvie

Are we realistically going to see anyone else coming in? Donaldson looks set to stay

Donaldson is the new Armand Benneker, we will be stuck with him
