stewaj3 1,444 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Working on the assumption that we keep all our current players and add windass and crooks what would you have a starting eleven. For me Foderingham Tavernier kiernan wilson wallace crooks holt windass mckay waghorn O'halloran subs kelly (the polish boy isnt even getting on the bench over cammy bell) ball (dont think he will be here) halliday (think he will still have a major role) burt (hopefully will kick on next season) king (really rate him, not sure hed come back to stay on the bench) forrester (impact sub) miller (still offers plenty) so that leaves Zelalem (wont be with us) shiels templeton, clark law hardie thompson walsh aird bell polish guy as folk who have been with us and been involved in match day squads. at the moment i can see us offering one of shiels or law a new deal, to be honest i think shiels would be the managers choice. you would expect the likes of hardie , thompson and walsh to be here or on loan... Im not sure what the rest will offer. Law, shiels and clark have redeemed themselves a bit for me, so if they do go, they will be leaving knowing they helped us get back to where we belong. Bell was disappointing after injury and templeton should be ashamed of his time here. this is before any other new signings, not everyone will pick this team, but the options show its clear to see the work thats been done. Under mccoist it was difficult to pick players because they were so poor. Under wardburton you feel its harsh on certain players to leave them out.

Inigo 32,524 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Not sure there's much point atm. I'd expect to bring in 4-6 players on top of Crooks and Windass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,524 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Although, to play the wee game, I wouldn't mind a starting 11 of the following, with the XXXs being some quality new additions or other. Wes Tav Kiernan XXXX Wallace Crooks Holt XXXX O'H Waghorn Windass Subs: XXXX, XXXX, Halliday, McKay, Wilson, Polish keeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 33,940 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hopefully we'll have a few more additions to complicate things even more , just glad it's not me having to pick the team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree its not likely to reflect the actual starting eleven, tbs wouldnt be surprised to see one or two sold as well to freshen things up. Just a bit of fun really.

pcbear 10,913 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 If you forward the clock a year the team line up will be vastly different from yesterdays, I reckon maybe five who played will be regulars in a years time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6superbarry6 14,109 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 that team pretty much picks itself for me tbh,also counting the days until Templeton,Shiels,Law,Clark and Bell are gone probably spunking about £1.5million a season on that dross not to mention the 800k we paid for "Temps" absolute waste of space Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1872 20,443 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Only Wes, Tav, Kiernan,Wallace, Holt, Halliday, Waghorn and O'Halloran will be in the starting 11 next year I reckon. Need a CB,DM and a striker! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Oops. Knew somehting was missing... hang on. I'll edit it... He's out for two games and I've forgotten he existed. And I'm only 37. Slippery slope to senility...

I'd also like a bigger, more physical forward, that likes to stay more advanced, and look to get in behind. And McKay would be in with a shout too. It's a tough one, and i think it'll be a squad game, with no real set starting 11. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the likelihood of some of our regulars being sold as, although they have done the necessary this season, I reckon many are no better than Championship players. Maybe good enough for Scottish first tier as squad players, but not for Europe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 34,990 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 For me Fod Tav NewCB Kiernan Wallace Crooks Holt Windass Halliday Ohallaron/striker Waggy Our attacking options are frightening. Could mckay/miller/ohallaron be on the bench? Who knows but I think 2 or 3 on top of Windass and Crooks and wel be good to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,000 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Difficult to say what our starting 11 would be, but worth saying who could / should be of the 'starter' quality required that we've got on the books at the moment. For me... Fod Tav - Kiernan (maybe?) - New CB - Wallace New DM (maybe Crooks?) New CM - New CM Waghorn / McKay - New CF - O'Halloran / Windass Bench: Halliday Holt Wilson Will be interesting to see who he brings in. Makings of a good young team though.

By physical I don't mean a Daly type. I mean big, strong, fast, plays on the shoulder and is more likely to stay quite central, unlike the other guys we have just now. Might not really be the kind of guy MW goes for, but I'd like that variety in the squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,294 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 McKay Waghorn O'Halloran up front will be ur front 3 unless one is sold. That is quick, strong and powerful spread over. Midfield will have Crooks and Holt, I still think we'll see another CM come in but if not it'll be Windass. Defending is where it'll happen for us in the transfer market. I think a new CB and another RB or LB Will be brought in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Hadji Spit RFC 733 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 We're gonna see the benefits of a young adaptable team when we move into to SPL. As the manager says most of the players can rotate and play in numerous positions, that with the experience they now have will go a long way to being successful next year. 4-5 quality additions, maybe 1or2 more experienced players will hopefully take us to where we need to be.
