Broxi 12,207 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Team Last Year:McGregorWhittaker Weir Bougherra PapacNaismith Davis Edu WeissJelavic MillerTeam Just Now:McGregorWhittaker Goian Bocanegra WallaceNaismith Davis McKay BedoyaJelavic LaffertyNeed to think about what Weir was last season and not this season.Personally: Goalkeeper: SameDefence: Roughly even, if not slightly better.Midfield: Can't really judge on Bedoya and McKay yet. Weiss was good IMO, a team without Edu though...Strikers: WorseObviously there is more strength in depth, kept all our big players this season, lost Miller and all his goals. Have we improved?

TheBluebells 6,898 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hope Bedoya and McKay shine, that could make all the difference.We will know the strength of our first 11 soon enough rather than just on paper.Optimistic Loyal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamMunny 3,502 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The quality of Bougherra Weiss and Miller have not been replaced. More options though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 12,207 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 The quality of Bougherra Weiss and Miller have not been replaced. More options though.Based on Bougherra's performances towards the end I'd say Goian has replaced him. Others I agree Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 25,642 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 i may be wrong here. But didn't miller leave in January and the season finish in may?People are over exaggerating his goalscoring last season. The fact is the team did alright in the league without him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is the team did alright in the league without himI don't think you can exaggerate a player's impact when he leaves in January and still finishes the league's top scorer.

TMB 14,167 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 From last years team we've lost Miller, Beattie, Fleck, Hutton, Weiss, Diouf, Foster and Bougherra (Webster if you want to include him). So we've signed seven players but lost eight. There's got to be questions raised about the quality as well. Miller was last seasons top scorer and he hasn't been replaced. Diouf offered us another option up front and was often played ahead of Healy which speaks for itself really. Bougherra is another quality player we've lost, he was a fantastic CB for us. I don't think Ortiz is better than Weiss either. Is the squad we have now better than the one that started last season? I don't think it is TBH.

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The end of the day the squad has more than enough in it, to compete and win all domestic honours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,457 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 IMO we have a stronger squad, but a weaker 1st 11Hopefully we can do enough until January then sign a couple of players Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Webster?Naw seriously?I'm glad Webster and Beattie are gone because they were big earners who offered us nothing on the field. But I'm sure from the seven we've signed a couple will be shite, there's always one or two. There's no way all seven will come in and be performers we're not that lucky.

butthole 159 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well, if I'm being brutally honest, the mhanks have a stronger squad than us, comfortably. Our first XI is capable so we will have to hope we're fortunate when it comes to injuries. Very disappointed in Whyte. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redsox1 1,361 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 EHD could still join and that would make our squad just the same size as last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
