Absolute joke Calderwood.
Has he been watching re-runs of the Alex Miller days!!

Your spot-on Malcolm. Miller got pelters from the fans over the way he set his teams out. Usually this was because he persisted with 4-4-2 when many fans wanted to see a more attacking 4-4-3.
Maybe games against the OF demand a more cautious approach, but a standard approach of one up front doesn't work. I assume that Calderwood actually tries this formation up in training? I wonder what makes him think that it's a system we can play effectively.

I think next season CC will employ either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 in the majority of games which requires a strong forward to lead the line, run into channels and bring others into play as well as scoring a few goals. Rooney has been doing this for ICT all season and its no surprise that he was top of the list in January and I would think still high on it now.
The fact that Galbraith has signed a new deal and that he has opened talks with Sproule suggests that he wants a lot of pace down either wing. Thornhill, Miller & Wotherspoon are good users of the ball and with Palsson/Scott/Stevenson providing some ball winning in there too suggests that we are on our way to a decent squad.

I really can't see it, we need some serious improvements to the side in all areas.

Vaz Te has mainly been playing on the right side of a front three and the other strikers that we have confirmed we are interested in are the sort that play in the centre of a front three and can lead the line. Tade in particular is known more for his overall play rather than goal scoring as was Rooney until last year when the goals were added to his game.

We had 8 points from 8 games when CC took over. We've since picked up 29 points from 29 games. And we've been put out the Cup by a Div 2 team. And CC has also been allowed to sign seven players to improve the team.
Some improvement, Petrie.

Or wouldn't you bother evaluating players and go for maximising points at all costs?

I dont know if you've noticed but we are a bottom 6 team
Our Midfield has been non existent this season, slight improvement with Pallson
I don't think we have two strikers that are worth playing together, Sodje on his own sounds fine as long as he gets the support, Riordan / VazTe total bi standers.
