Need a centre mid platform to run the middle of the park or we get over run.

We need a tackler and leader in that midfield. I feel hecky is only going to get 1 CDM leaving us to tippy tappy in midfield. He gets injured its back to the same as last season not a soul in that midfield know how to challenge for a ball.

Sean Mackie is another one but I agree - we look light in central midfield right now.

If Omeonga doesn’t return there are big shoes to fill.

Glad you agree mate but that's you and another poster mention 2 players who would play that position but it's not there most natural is it? A top 4 side can't rely a LB cover to fit in CDM or a CB. Mackie could slot in there and be the next big thing as far as I'm aware he's a left sided defender / wingback.

Have you seen him play this role at youth level?

Im sure your right he did. And I have no issue if Sean was to move to that position but currently we have no 0 CDM we a have CB we've never seen play possibly slot in and a very young LB who can't get in the side?. It's very early in the window but I hope hecky isn't just going to get one and rely on mackie and Jackson for me that is no where near good enough.

How many games did Bartley play last season? A handful? Jackson will be used in CDM.

Based on nothing as I’ve never seen the guy play, I’d be happy with him playing that position purely because he’s 6ft2. Would be good to have a bit of size in there.

Has Adam Jackson ever played in midfield? He's a centre half.

If Jackson is the guy from Barnsley I have it on good authority that Hecky played him quite a bit in DM role.

This could be like the 2nd coming of Matty Jack!

As I previously said he is exactly the type we need in the middle of the park and that Heckingbottom likes.

Big, athletic, energetic, box to box midfielder who chips in with a decent amount of goals.

Was actually surprised to see Peterborough allow him to leave on loan as he played a lot and scored 4 goals from centre mid in the first half of the season. Loan move to Lincoln was also a success where he played every week and was a fans favourite.

Mates with Allan and Mallan which is a bit ironic as they would most likely be the 3 in midfield together, albeit made a bit light defensively. However I think the amount Mallan learned defensively in a short space of time and will continue to learn, O’Hara’s energy and how organised we will be would make us get off with it.

He would be one that certainly plays for the shirt and become a fans favourite here.

A midfield of

..............Mallan.....O’Hara........

Boyle.............Allan.............Horgan/Newell...

Certainly has plenty of energy and ability. Also a lot of ball carriers who can get us up the pitch.

Get James, Doidge and another couple in and we are looking good.
Im very excited for the season coming :flag:

Where is it we are linked With Mark O'Hara?

O'Hara is an AM (another one?) and Jackson is a CB only according to FM.

He is a Jack of all trades if I remember, at killie he was a right back at Dundee he was a big number 10, the nickname the Scottish Yaya Toure was given to him haha

No details but I'm sure it was mentioned during the signing. I also can see us moving much more to 352. With 4 fit good CHs and a tonne of options we may well move away from out and out CDM.

Saw Doidge on loan at Bolton for the first half of last season and he wasn’t particularly good in all honesty, albeit he was only as bad as the rest of the team. He certainly had a decent record when he went back to Forest Green after Christmas, but I think it helped that plenty of chances were being created for him rather than proving to be a particularly commanding figure or anything like that. Big money by our standards if the suggested £300k is correct.

Hopefully not another James Collins scenario, hope we dont expect 30 goals a season because we paid for him.

It's only a small figure, like losing out on a shirt sponsor for a season..

Jeez don't use FM to suss any players positions, wages, how good they are, there's mistakes a plenty in that game. It still has Fraser Murray as a left footer and Innes Murray as a right wing (CM/AM) and we all know Boyle can play WB but not in FM.

We do seem to be on top of our transfer activity this year if this is true.

Still want another forward, cm and a maybe winger? And it depends what happens with the goalie situation.

So that's McNulty, Omeonga, Barker and Bogdan :-)

What happens to Boyle, Horgan and Newell in a 3-5-2, will they all be on the bench?
