so how far off a very good starting 11 are we now after today?
imo id have the spine of the side similar,
stack
hart bamba hanlon ??
wotherspoon miller ?? ??
riordan stokes
id say three players, maybe sticking murray in at centre midfield, im afraid he doesnt have the pace to play left back anymore, but still a solid squad player who will get stuck in so maybe centre midfield is where he should play,
so a new left back and possibly galbraith or a new left winger and id say we were pretty much a very good team, up front there will always be goals with those two, pace down both flanks and a creative player in miller, and a solid back four if we could find a murray with pace

You're assuming that Bamba will still be at ER come 1st September - Fulham apparently renewed their interest last week.
Still not sure about the GK position either. Had hoped Brown would be like a new signing in that regard, but not so.

Hart.....Bamba.....Hogg.....Hanlon/Murray
De Graff/Wotherspoon.....McBride.....Miller.....Wotherspoon/Galbraith
Stokes.....Riordan
That's assuming our transfer dealings are finished until January. Hopefull we'll see at least a striker brought in before then.

We're only as good as the players we play. Yogi will not drop Hogg or Nish, will not consider Galbraith as a first teamer, and in what I see as becoming one of the more frustrating points of the season, will not move Murray to defensive midfield. What's more, if we are short of players then younger more exciting prospects will be overlooked in favour of John Rankin.
When the manager won't play the right players then a good squad means nothing IMO.

It's quite simple. Give him a proper run and if he produces he will be like a new signing. If he doesn't look like he'll consistently produce, punt him. Easy peasy. Not fair to keep the laddie on the bench forever more.
FWIW I think he'll prove his worth.

exactly my thoughts, really frustrating at times when, last year at home to hearts in particular murray was done time and time again, just through lack of pace, hes got so much to offer at defensive midfield and would allow miller to push on into his natural position,
as for nish and hogg theyre just not good enough, hanlon is the best centre half weve produced in years yet still cant get a look in, and nish just doesnt have it, id love for them to succeed but sometimes you have to hold your hand up and say its just not working,

I think we need to do a bit or juggling to get in another option at left back and an option up front, we have 3 forwards (and Byrne away on loan) so if he is going to play 3 up, we need another option up front to change things. Am tempted to say we need a centre half too...
If money is tight it's time to go to 2 experienced goalkeepers and punt a midfielder (Rankin or Stevenson IMHO) to free up the cash to balance the squad.
