No striker's on the bench today badly need to get someone in until the new year, even someone who is getting on a bit that could come on for the last 20 minutes would not cost too much as it would be for about 16 weeks

The problem is that anyone who is free now probably hasn’t even had much of a pre season under their belt so it would take until January to get up to full fitness. We have to give Gullan more game time.

The issue with Gullan is he’s not really a striker, through his youth career and first team he’s often played left of a front 3.
Fwiw I rate Gullan and think he has a lot of potential and ability but it seems the management don’t and that’s fair enough as they see him every day.
But looking at that bench today you knew who was going to come on and under what circumstance.

Wasn’t just the lack of strikers, our bench contained three players the manager wants rid of. They had players today to bring on who could have made a difference (not saying I’d want them at us), we didn’t.

Scott can play as the target man/link role but he needs to drop half a stone. His conditioning is awful.
I'd imagine bringing in a player on a free we'd face the same issue. I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the youngsters on the bench soon. Young Laidlaw looked like he's had a growth spurt when I watched him for the Sco u17's.

Our depth is a huge concern for me going forward. Our bench is week and those on it either won't come on to change games or were almost punted at the end of the window.

Worryingly Gullan wasn’t meant to be a sub today until Mackay was a late call off

Sitting in 2nd, it's an ideal time to start giving young Laidlaw some game time in games. Mood in the camp is good, great time to start seeing what he can do.

I don’t think our squad depth is a major issue, we are struggling due to so many injuries. When they (if they) all return then our squad will be packed. It’s a hard balancing act as we could’ve brought boys in but ended up with a squad far too big once they all get back.

He wasn't great today but he will improve and is possibly still getting used to playing with new team mates

I do think we should be looking to sign a free agent striker till Jan , a big target man who can come off bench and change things for us...its a huge ask to go till Jan with what we have in forward areas. I don't agree we don't have depth tho in the squad overall, considering the likes of JDH, Doidge, Murphy, Stevenson, Mackay and Hallberg were all out/not in squad today

Doidge is such a big loss, especially today.
The amount of balls in the box today that Nisbet was never going to win, I’m certain Doidge would’ve given their defenders a lot more to think about today.
