Pawlett
Harkes
Chalmers
Niskanen
Smith
Mcmann
Watt
Clark (away now though)
Eriksson

Add to that more fkn dead wood that we've also signed

Birighitti
Behich
Sibbald(probably harsh)

Struggling to pick an 11 that would finish top 6

Goalie

Edwards Mulgrew Graham
Rwb Lwb

Hard Kunt
McGrath Levitt

Fletcher Johnny Russell🙏


Subs.

Freeman
Meekison

A bit too early to say that Behich Sibbald and Birighitti are dead wood imo. It might turn out that way, sure, but too early to reach that opinion now, especially in the light of what may have been going on in the dressing room.

As I said probably harsh on Sibbald but the two Aussies have been awful to date and signed on the back of maybe getting world cup compo but looks miles away.

[Chick A Saw]

Saw a wee video from the end of the game and Pittman seems to be awfy cosy around a bunch of our players, including Sibbald admittedly. Sign he is on his way to us, or Sibbald heading back.

Seriously though, hope whoever is earmarked for the door finds their club, and we are able to get the missing links we need.

On another note, i cant believe that a player of the calibre of Zander Clark will end up not getting a contract somewhere. Seems truly bizarre.

The problem is our budget's not unlimited (even if it sometimes looks unlimited)

With Clark away and maybe a couple more going out I'm still hoping we'll get a defensive mid which would allow McGrath and Levitt more scope. But I'm not holding my breath. We didn't sort the strikers last season or the midfield. Have we learned? We're about to find out.

That is very much understood here Stoke. I doubt we have replaced all of the players lost last season 1 for 1, certainly not equally in some cases, and loaning out players has facilitated the arrival of others already. Now we are coming to the end of the window, Clark has gone, Chalmers and Niskanen rumoured on their way out with other players mentioned as well.

Really hope we get what we need for the team if we loose the above mentioned players, especially if more squad players are loaned out.

Regardless of our win last night, we absolutely need a CDM in today and another striker, even if they are loans. Without them, especially the CDM i doubt we will fully turn the corner, there will still be some bad results to come with that midfield combo

I know I'm being a wee bit repetitive, but I absolutely want that Aussie keeper away to f@ck regardless of whether he turns into Dino Zoff overnight. Everyone else I'm willing to wait and see so long as we get a good DM in before midnight (and a keeper obviously)

[TerryTheTerror]

Can't see us signing a keeper to be honest. I think you need to prepare yourself for Birighitti playing again at some point...

Yeah you're no doubt right Terry, but he'll get no backing from me. Some things in football are unforgivable as far as I'm concerned.
