Think Harris can okay right and we would have Craig for left mid. Need more depth though. That first eleven is fine but if someone is off form then we need capable people to come in. That's where we lack in most areas.

This is obviously assuming we don't keep any of the three loan players. Forgot about Cairney, would prefer him in at centre mid providing Thomson stays too. Would mean we have a good balance with one sitting and one going forward instead of the current defensive midfield trio we have.

Can't see McGivern or Thomson being here next season. Griffiths is touch and go and as as much as I wan't him to stay I doubt he will. Take him and Claros out the team and I see another dodgy season ahead.

Yep he has been better than mcpake but still cannae make a clearing header that goes more than 10 yards ..and still gets pushed all over the place by any reasonably sized Centre Forward. Not good enough for a CH in my opinion

All of those things could perfectly describe Mcpake this season too. Add in his poor positional sense and he's not looking great. Been a poor season from him as captain, need much better if they are going to go and create history at Hampden.

Players come and go. I really can't see where KT can go, no other team in Scotland will go near him d with his abysmal injury history i tkink despite what he claims options down south will be limited.

I think we have a chance of LG and RM but if we dont new guys will come in.

Read the managers column in the programme and yesterday being the most important game of the season, what happened? We should have been into them from the start and we were treated to yet another lethargic, dull and predictable display.

Some need to go, starting with Deegan.

Got to agree with this. Free everyone we can like Doyle, Sponny, Deegan, Kujabi, Scott and Kuqi.

Then use that wage budget to try and secure Sparky and McGivern and also some strong SPL or First Div players.

Taylor, Erskine, Humphrey, Daly and the like.

NorthNorfolkHFC

I think we'll struggle with most of our loanees. Preference must be with Griffiths and McGivern.

Williams will continue as no.1

Clancy, Hanlon, McPake. We need a new lb as Stevenson just isn't good enough, easy target for teams that play with tactics.

It would be great to see Thomson stay but I doubt it. Craig is coming in but I don't know if he's a winger, don't recall him having much pace?

Our centre midfield pairing could be Robertson and Craig but that's not really good, it's not bad either though.

We'll have Cairney and Harris but they are the only two with something about them. So that leaves a lot of cover required.

If Griffiths leaves we have Caldwell and Handling, unsure.

We need LB, RM, LM (both with pace), ST x2/3. That's six players if we lose our loans.

I'd like to see Deegan, Doyle, Done, Wotherspoon, Kuqi and Kujabi leave. Maybury should stay as he is experienced and by all accounts is a good influence on others.

Players I'd like to see: Taylor and Alston (both Falkirk). Davidson (St J).

I'd be happy to keep

Williams

Mcgivern
Harris
Thompson
Robertson
Cairney

And Clancy and Stevenson are decent squad players.

Would like to see a couple decent signings but I'd really like to see what some of our young players have got.

EVENTUALLY

Focus on our young players. Promote them instead of propping up a squad with the likes of Maybury and Kuqui. Harris looks the part. Stanton is very good and capable of using the ball very effectively. Imagine if Caldwell or Handling had been given a run of 6-8 games similar to Doyle who came on but has not kicked on again. That's what is said of youngsters a lot so why not at least give a few more of ours a chance. Tom Taiwo is ok but I'd have given Gold a few games. The best team of youngsters in the world were given a goal start and turned over by Hibs u19 in last years SYC but a few of them are now getting a chance at Tincastle. In my view Hibs U19 side last season had a good few players who have been held back by Maybury, Taiwo, Done and Doyle. Home grown youth is the future.

Hanlon should be first pick IMO

' Like your style '
I try to refrain from criticising managers for the simple reason that once the team is on the park that's it as far as he is concerned .
However the quality of player signed is his responsibility
Therefore cannot see any thing wrong in the remaining games to allow the youngsters to 'have a go'
We are safe from relegation . It's doubtful if any of the 'loanees' plus KT will be here next year so as you say let's go for it :thumbsup:

That was rumoured around the time we were playing Killie in the Scottish cup. What's his best position, left back or centre back?

I do not understand why with our crowds (10k yesterday) compared to ICT Well and Killie we do not have better players than them , obviously we can afford them as none of these clubs are struggling but now keeping within their means. To this end from yesterdays ICT team I would be looking to try and take Tudor Jones , Forlan and Andy Shinnie at least plus at least a couple from Well and Killie , can't think apart from McFadden which ones but certainly think we should be able to take 6 to 9 players from these clubs. If we can't there is something seriously wrong at our club and it needs to be looked at , but I do think Fenlon should be given another season.

On the Killie forum they say us, Motherwell and Sevco are in for Dayton, one even claims he was shown round the training ground last week "Apparently was being shown around the hibs traing ground last week." http://killiefc.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=75709 he's a signing I'd be excited by unlike Flood or O'Leary.
