Not really, we could in theory be without Claros, Deegan, Thomson, Wotherspoon, Scott and Done leaving us with Cairney, Robertson, Taiwo, Harris, Stevenson and Stanton.Quote:

Posted a while back when we were supposed to be looking at Arfield whilst he was at Falkirk that he stated that he wouldn't work with Yogi ever again - The words "bully" were used in reference to Yogi's management style, heard this from a friend (who's close to one of Arfield's family).Quote:

Watched a few more League 1 games over the next few years and found it really interesting, including Huddersfield again thumping Wycombe 6-0 this time away from home! Rhodes was immense.
I think once he gets a good pre season we will start seeing the best of Robertson.
Yep! Or New Rm Gomis Craig HarrisQuote:

Sorry BMD. Hadn't read all the posts (lazy the nite). Cheers for thatQuote:

Paul Watson from Livingston a player we were linked with a couple of seasons ago has turned down a new deal good strong centre half streets ahead of Hanlon imo also his side kick Craig Barr also away from Livi both would improve our defence
Quick question for everyone wanting Gomis and Bauben in our team. What about Tom Taiwo? He's been really good recently. IF we managed to keep Taiwo, Claros and KT next season I'd be more than happy and would focus on the defence and the strikers for next season. In fact, when you look at the squad without Claros and KT we'd still have a load of midfielders and NO strikers IF Leigh goes.
Not as good as Clayton Donaldson!Quote:

Totally agree with that. I think Taiwo has been an excellent signing and doesn't get the credit his performances deserve. I'd love Claros and Thomson to stay but I wouldn't be unhappy if Taiwo was one of our starting midfielders next season.Quote:

Taiwo. Claros. Thompson
Wanyama missing is a big plus so those 3 need to be in their game and get us on the front foot (sure they will)
Let's hope. It hurt how badly he played in the SF given all the hype towards having him in the side. Let's hope he puts that behind him and starts to push for a starting place next season. I remain optimistic that he will be a good player for us. :agree:Quote:

The first 3 in particular seem like a really promising combination.Quote:

I still think we need a bit more creativity and goal threat from midfield but it appears Harris is beginning to offer this, Craig should do the same and I hope Robertson and Cairney can recapture their form.
For me, even if by some miracle Leigh stays we will still need to get a couple more forwards and the defence has looked shakey all season.
just been released by huddersfield, was good for falkirk, worth a punt this summer?
So was Duffy.... If Pat got him up for a couple of weeks training to make an assessment then fair enough but I wouldn't be for giving a contract to someone who in recent times we know nothing about except Huddersfield don't want him.
Seem to remember a few years back that Utd team tearing us a new one at ER .... we were chasing shadows all night and were lucky to get away with less of a battering than we should have.Quote:

Agree with what folk are saying about Taiwo ... he was outstanding in the last game at ER and should have been MOM. If he can play like that every week he will be first midfield pick no matter who we have in the squad.
