We have Stephens and O'hanlon who can both play centre half ( Granted both are a bit grim)..Even Clancy can play centre half, But we have Leigh till January along with Caldwell and Doyle,We defo need more upfront, We need a bit pace and injection in midfield too, A nae nonsense 6 foot hard bassa and a wide man IMO.

We finished 11th last season and IMO we are far weaker than last season and are certs for bottom 6 if we go with what we have.

Yip, agree with you to a certain extent, my point is we should be strengthening all three areas, Defence - we desperately need another c/h as neither Stevens or O'Donnel are imo good enough, [even Hanlon is not up to standard,] Clancy , whilst can play c/h was brought to solve r/b problem and if played central we would then revert to same problems we have had at r/b for past 2/3 seasons.
Midfield - agree 100% with you, but is it MORE important than a decent c/h ? Possibly, however we should be looking to strengthen both areas.
Striker - Yes, we still require a "Target man" - aren't we supposidly looking at Lee Miller [Carlisle, ex Aberdeen] and the lad who scored 2 for St J at the weekend as a trialist ?

So to summarise, imo all three areas need better quality than we have at present and just because this rumour has surfaced doesn't mean we have dropped interest in anyone else. [By the way not having a go at you, just expressing my opinions]

As for finishing 11th last season, do you think we would have been as low if we had McPake from the start of the season ? I don't. Not saying he is superman or anything, but there were quite a few games last season we lost because one of our c/d made stupid basic mistakes, which imo stopped on his arrival.
