Do we have the players to turn our season around if Butcher is the new manager ?

[TheBruce]

I think we might need some new faces as some if the current crop don't have the skill or desire to get us out of the current situation!

[Pretty Boy]

We are a million miles away from having a good squad.

New faces and another transitional period await. Hopefully TB can bring in players who don't need months to settle.

The biggest thing the team lack just now is pride !

[Greencore]

Yes, yes, yes! I strongly believe we do, TB just needs to get his training, tactics installed and we will be halfway there. It will take time, but it is important we get right behind the manager and players. For me when TB comes in it is a new season for me. He is a winner at getting the best out of his players. Sure no cups but he has been on a very tight budget at ict

[random sub]

We have a mid table squad and Tel won't be able to do much about that unless he signs some fresh talent

I disagree. I think we can add a few players to -

Williams
McGivern
Hanlon
Thomson
Robertson
Craig
Harris
Heffernan

And build the confidence of the above players, and we could do well. We have some good solid players but are missing cutting edge, and a load of confidence.

[Gatecrasher]

You know what, I'm going to stick my neck out a bit and say yes, no doubt a few signings will need to be made but I think if the players get the kick up the backside they need and played in a decent formation that plays to their strengths I think we can still have a decent season.

We don't have enough pace in our team/squad - simple as that.

So from a match day squad of 18 we have 8 decent, 2 of whom i'd question there inclusion on the list.

That's a fair bit away in my book.

[Hibercelona]

I think most of these players are capable of playing to a higher standard than they have been.

I know this, because they have done at other clubs, otherwise they wouldn't be here.

Whether they can perform to a high enough standard to get us playing as well as we should be playing, i'm not entirely sure.

[kevo1875]

We don't have a spine to our team until we do we will struggle

[Itsnoteasy]

So we get rid of the irish team we have amassed under pf. I remember when jim duffy signed 1st division players we played like a 1st division team. Now we are playing like an irish 3rd division team. No pride playing for the jersey is the biggest problem. MHIB

This has been a defining issue of our predicament. Also, I was watching today that hardly any of our players can go past a man by trick or speed, whereas several or many of the Inverness players could do this with ease.

[stoneyburn hibs]

I honestly think the squad we have is half decent, certainly better than what we have seen so far this season.
Managed better then i think they will start producing, hopefully TB can do that.

Perhaps that point was covered in the 'getting in some new players?'

Of which I'd agree, a couple of players in with pace and we'd be a different team, plus Harris back too!

We just need confidence instilled / increase in fitness / tactics that are simple but effective.......and players played in their natural / best positions..

A couple of additions in Jan / U20's promoted to 1st team / injuries clearing up would all help too

Why on earth would you single out the Irish players? In fact, we only have 5/6 players that are Irish/NI and none of them were signed from the League of Ireland/Irish 3rd division..

I agree, we do have decent players...even vine and Collins may surprise us in the coming weeks. Have faith! And keep your fingers crossed.

[Stewboy]

If they can start playing passes that matter and with some urgency then yes, we will do ok under Tel

If they keep up the pedestrian stuff then we will continue to get humped

All the requirements any manager should be able to provide so why have we been pish under 4 managers or more?

I think you will find that most of pf signings were irish. And pish. Just making a point. And comparing with duffy. Nothing against the irish. And the non irish were pish as well. Kujabi was the pick of the bunch.

[GreenCastle]

We have a core of a few players who I think will do ok for us in the next few years -

Williams - out of contract in summer
McGivern
Hanlon
Forster
Robertson
Harris - out of contract in summer...I think...
Heffernan
Craig
Thomson - but not alongside Craig

................................

Bench players -

Stevenson
Taiwo
Maybury
Nelson

.................................

Can do without...

McPake
Vine
Collins


.................................

What is going on with this lot...

Handling
Caldwell
Stanton
Clancy
Cairney
OTJ

.................................................

The problem is that in January there are hardly ever any decent players that move - maybe loans.

................................................

Criteria for new players....basic skill / creativity / speed / some leadership (mental toughness)

[Jonnyboy]

We have many problems for TB to address and aside from the obvious we have a massive lack of confidence in the side

[Stewboy]

We WILL be a better team when Clancy is back. Question is when will he back?

Agreed.
Todays game (shambles) said everything that is wrong with this team at present.
