Tav,Goldson, McGregor, Davis, Morelos, Bacuna at the end of the season. Morelos in January if a decent bid came in but not much chance of that at the moments Regardless there will be a major rebuild required so we need that Champions League money - this season is huge going forward Seen about 5 appearances from Bacuna ffs BridgeIsBlue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we need another GK coach to make up numbers for drills when Casper only has five keepers he works with everyday (including Firth). We've also got Graeme Smith on the coaching staff working with the Academy keepers and often use Academy keepers to make up numbers for drills too. He wasnt even involved in the training day exercises. Jay Hogarth, Robby McCrorie and Kieran Wright were the other GKs that day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have sold a big player in the summer to reinvest and keep the team fresh and do the same this coming summer. Instead we'll probably have a decent sized job to do in 1 window. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterC 12,269 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 A season like we had last season was never going to be replicated and was a tough act to follow. Yes, performances this season haven't been the best but looking back at last season we weren’t always playing amazing football but we were getting the results. The squad needs freshened up that's for sure but some of the stick players and the gaffer are getting is unreal.

Firth is assistant Goalkeeper coach as well as emergency 4 th choice so will probably stay on if manager stays Kelly Is not going to get a chance and at around 20/21 needs to be playing as not a youngster any more he has a full season in SPFL under his belt last season at Ross county too so should be played or moved on Jack time will tell but we have missed him hope he can get back quickly but if isn’t playing by xmas he will need to go too Simpson is a bombscare and has been a disaster we can add Sakala and Bacuna to that list as well dreadful signings both we also have Balogun who is required at moment but isn’t good enough Katic who we need to assess after serious injury like Jack Goldson who is refusing to sign a new deal is a concern all in all if and when the manager leaves there isn’t a great deal left for new boss and no money either!!! its shite being champions and top of the league innit.

left winger 14,132 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Should have moved on at least one of Tav, Goldson, Barisic, Kamara, Kent, Hagi or Morelos. While I didn’t want any of them to leave we should have (hindsight, obv) done so. That would have let us potentially improve the 1st 11. The team/squad has gone stale - management, board and team have rested on their laurels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs. people can only give some facts across to calm the bedwetters down. Fact is we are top of the league and look like that’s not going to change looking at the run of games ahead I thought against Hertz it’s the best we’ve played all season until the gaffer gave away our momentum by trying to manage the game by shite subs at 70 mins. He hasn’t learned much on that front but we don’t drop many points from it so my opinion might be shite on that front. It’s also a retrospective look at a game too. what is clear that our depth of squad is worrying - when subs do come on they don’t improve our game but rather weaken it. so get your head out the sand and cheer yourself up man, we’re top of the league and there no.

And I still think you have to question whether Gerrard will still be here as the manager to do it. He has a massive decision to make at the end of this season, and I think we do too. The team is going to need rebuilt, do we want him to oversee it if he’s only going to stay for say another season before he leaves, and or do we want somebody new to come in who is going to be here for four or five years to come in and build their own squad rather than inherit one from Gerrard a year down the line. Next Summer is massive for us on so many levels. As a total aside, if you had to put together a shortlist of managers to replace Gerrard (I don’t want him out, but I do think we should always be succession planning) who would you have on it at the moment?
