Murphy or Windass aren’t the answer but they guarantee double figures throughout the season. Not sure if Kent or Ejaria can do that WTF?

cushynumber 25,178 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 the forwards area is a bit thin on the ground Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Like a few others it's the forward area where it shows up. It's difficult for any team if you only play 1 up front to keep say 4-5 strikers happy. However in reality we look to only have 2 unless sadiq turns out to be decent. I would expect we would look at forward area in January if anyone is available Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,960 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Was really hoping for Solanke at the midnight hour. We will have to address this in January for when you see the squad written down on paper it's easy to see that we lack quality and depth upfront.

Paulie Walnuts 1,061 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 45 names? I thought it was about 25? What’s the stars beside the names for, youth players? One beside Ross McCrorie that’s making me think otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stars beside the names are those on the B list. Ross is included on this list as he is under 21 & has been with the club for at least 2 years. (It makes sense for him to be listed on the B list as it frees up space on the A list, although we are not currently using the maximum slots on the A list we can add to that if we get past the group stages) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are allowed to add up to 3 players to this list if we get through.. I.e 3 January signings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we could get fucked this season because our attack is shite, what happens if we get an injury to morelos or lafferty. We have one striker, who we can trust left. Not good. The whole team was a priority, which of course is difficult to achieve, but now we have what we have and a lot of people including myself didn't see us doing so much business over the transfer window as we have.

Rossiter would be as well doing an apprenticeship somewhere. Wonder why he came on at Motherwell if he is to be left out the squad? Really odd situation.

Wish we had more attacking presence and depth in midfield. Let's face reality, the Europa League provides a much-needed cash injection as well as providing competition at a higher level than the spl, but our chances beyond the group stages are pretty low.

Good to have some leeway in the A list. I'd guess that there is already work going with regards to the next transfer window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I'm not really that interested in how we do Europe now in comparison to the league. Just see Europe as a place for the fans/players to enjoy themselves, but the league should be the priority.

Ross-Gazza genius 1,915 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm sure they need to pick 24 1st team players and then select 11 youth players to make up the 45 as reserves. If that is the case (which if you count the players there is 24) who would you drop to fit these 2 into the squad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can name up to 25 players, we’ve only named 22 which is leaving space for 3 (which is the max you can add after the groups) You can register an unlimited number of players on the B list.

Grundy 735 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 A wee bit surprised but not disappointed that Wallace isn't in the squad after being included in the last couple of match squads.

You've just asked me if I've made that up yet stated yourself we can name 25? Ok I've got the initial number wrong by 1 but I thought that by naming 45 players there was maybe a limit overall. Gk- Mcgregor, Foderingham, McCrorie Def- Tav, Goldson, Katic, Barisic, Flanagan, Halliday, Worrall, McAuley Mid- Dorrans, Jack, Arfield, Ejaria, Coulibaly, Kent, Middleton, Candeias, Grezda, McCrorie Forwards- Morelos, Lafferty, Sadiq This was the 24 I had counted but if I'm wrong I won't lose sleep over it.
