Looking at our squad, there is a small number that I would want to be a regular starter come the beginning of next season. I think we need a massive overhaul and I just am not sure Shaun Maloney is the man to do it, Im not sure he has done enough to convince me that he is the right man for the job and if he isnt and we give him the summer then it will most likely be another catastrophe of a season.
Here are the players I would play week in week out, would keep for backup and would get rid of
Keepers :-
Macey - bin
Dabrowski - backup
Mitchell - bin
Defenders:-
Cadden - start
Porteous - start ( will probably leave if he doesnt sign a new deal)
Doig - start
Clarke - start
Hanlon - keep as a backup
Stevenson- keep as a backup (only due to age)
Mcginn - bin
Rocky - bin
Mcgregor- bin
Mitchell - can rotate with doig?
Midfield :-
Allan - bin
Campbell - bin
JDH - keep as backup
Newell - keep as backup
Magennis - plays if fit
Henderson - keep as backup
Wright - bin
Forwards :-
Doidge - bench (offers something different) however after his injury doesnt seem the same player
Nisbet - plays in a front 2 but isnt suited up front by himself so will probably be away in summer
Melkerson - not at the level to play every week at the moment
Jasper - not consistent enough to nail down a starting place
Mueller - same as Jasper, hopefully finds a new level after a pre season
Scott - bin
So looking at that we need a keeper, at least 2 defenders, at least 2 midfielders and a striker that suits maloneys system
