As more signing news approaches, thoughts turn to the composition of the squad for 2019/20
Neil Lennon ran a first team squad of 24 last season and I believe that 24 is again the aim for Paul Heckingbottom this season.
Currently contracted for next season are
Goalkeepers: 2
1. Marciano
2. Maxwell
Defenders: 9
3. Stevenson
4. Gray
5. Hanlon
6. McGregor
7. Jackson
8. Porteous
9. Whittaker
10. Mackie
11. James
Midfielders: 10
12. Allan
13. Slivka
14. Newell
15. Horgan
16. F. Murray
17. Mallan
18. Boyle
19. Vela
20. Middleton
21. Hallburg
Forwards: 3
22. Kamberi
23. Shaw
24. Doidge
Therefore the squad is now full.
I'm not aware of the likes of Campbell, Innes Murray, Gullan etc being promoted to the first team this summer so without further departures, I expect 5 signings this summer, most likely James, Doidge, Omeonga, Gravenbirch and McNulty.
Who do you want in the door first?

Given that we heard a lot of talk about the squad being stretched last season and how much injuries impacted us, I wouldn't be surprised to see us try to increase the total number slightly.

I’d fancy we need another more senior GK? Unless they feel Dabrowski is ready.
I’d like to see Omeonga back and I’d like us to go for Shankland considering he’s free.
I’d also like to see Shaw go out on loan to be replaced by McNulty and I reckon we need a big geezer to sit in front of the back 4. Basically a new version of the Bartley that we signed 4 years ago. A more box to box midfielder coming in with Slivka going out would be my choice aswell.
So I’d like 8 in, 1 out permanently and 1 out on loan from that list. Big ask, and I’d probably settle for the 5 in if it was 2 strikers (Doidge being one), the boy from Yeovil, a box to box midfielder and a holding midfielder.Last edited by calumhibee1; 24-06-2019 at 04:54 PM.

Defence will be sorted once the James deal is concluded.
Midfield definitely needs a DM.
Would personally like to see Shaw go out on loan to a club where he will get regular 1st team football. Playing regularly for his development is surely better than warming the bench if we do indeed sigh both Doidge & McNulty whilst also keeping ahold of Kamberi.

Not sure what happens with a player who can play a number of positions?

For each position
A senior pro
An ready made younger replacement
An up and coming youth player
It is the ideal but there will of course be players that provide cover for various positions

3 players left ?
Though I think some will leave ?
Flo
Rocky
Hopefully not but McNulty and Omeonga would be great signings to have back as know the club and manager plus fans love both.

No idea who slots into where in these formations though

I am concerned we are light in central midfield, and I keep forgetting about Slivka, which tells its own story.
Can Hecky coach him into playing some kind of deep lying role?

Will definitely be interesting to see. Hopefully the new signings and any further new additions hit the ground running. Also both Boyle & Porteous recapture their good form before those nasty injuries they picked up. I’ve gone with the following 4-3-3 as that is the formation we played last season but then again, Heckinbottom may change that up a bit.
Marciano
Gray
Porteous
Hanlon
Stevenson
Mallan
Jackson (I’m sure he played a few games as a DM for Barnsley when Heckinbottom was in charge)
Allan (play just off the striker)
Boyle
Kamberi (having Allan back will be great as the both of them had a great partnership the last time they played together)
Newell
subs:
Dabrowski
James
McGregor
Slivka
F.Murray
Horgan
Doidge

I’d suspect we’ll be 4-2-3-1 this season mostly. Not many managers play 4-4-2 anymore so if that’s the case we maybe only need 3 strikers with Boyle as a last resort.

I think he may move on before the window closes.

My ideal side would be:
Rocky
Gray
Any 2 of Daz/Porteous/Hanlon (know nothing of Jackson)
Stevenson
New big ******* of a DM
Omeonga or someone equally as energetic and hard working
Boyle
Mallan
Allan
Flo/Doidge
Know nothing of Newell either and Horgan is a very good option aswell.
