I can see the following being released or told to find a new club.

Richard Odada
Jack Newman (not announced in the releases surprisingly)
Kai Fotheringham
Rory MacLeod (Nothing Announced on him either, doubt Southampton take up their option)
Miller Thomson
Meshack Ubochioma

Maybe even Kristijan Trapanovski and Jort van der Sande
 

Or is this paper chat from Goodwin an attempt to get him to play out of his skin between now and the end of the season?  A reverse to the supposed "Gallacher not trying cos he's not getting a new deal" scenario? 

Reagan Charles Cook apparently coming to the end of his contract in Belgium.  I think he'll be mid - late 20's now and he knows the league and was a good player in a crap team.

Would he be a good signing or is that just a lazy suggestion by me?

It's totally acceptable that there is an understanding between the player and the club about future plans at this point, but I don't think that should've been made public.  If Gallacher has a dip in form or makes a mistake between now and the end of the season there is a huge chance that the fans will be on his back accusing him of not trying, taking the piss, not caring.  If that happens, that won't benefit anyone.

I don't think the Academy is failing of its own accord.  I think the issue is that there is no structure in place to support players of a certain age that are too old for the youth teams but just not quite ready for first team football.

We need a reserve league in Scottish football for these players to have a platform to play and improve in.  Not only will that benefit the younger players coming through the ranks, it will also be a benefit for players returning from injury and for players who are on the bench and cant get a start due to the performance levels of the starting 11.

We'll make some good appointments, we'll make some bad appointments.  It's just the way it is.

If folk move about regularly in this type of role, then there is a decent chance we will stumble across a decent replacement.

For folk to say he's been great or crap at his job is pure conjecture.  We don't know if we signed all or any of the players this guy suggested or if Goodwin overruled them.  He was part of a team that worked on signing players, with the buck stopping at the manager, I guess.  No one knows how a player will settle or perform at a particular club until they have their boots on the ground at the club.

I'm happy to wait and see who we sign in the summer and how we start next season before making judgement.

This, but with Moult in for Jort.  Moult knows where the net is.  Jort doesn't.

Looks like one player too many mate

In hindsight, I think we should have stuck with my team.....

-------------------------Walton
----------Adegboyega  Gallacher  Holt
Stephenson --------------------------------Ferry
------------Sevelj Docherty Cambell
Fotheringham  -------------------------Middleton
------------------------Dalby

Strain to me hasn't been playing his best.  Whilst I think he does give his all, I just dont think much has gone his way

Was tempted to put Trapanovski on, but I think Fotheringham might be a bit better suited to this game as I think he'll get back a bit more to help with the defensive side of the game.

We've played too narrow recently and we need to get that width back to allow for crosses into Dalby.  If the game goes well and depending on Docherty gets on fitness wise, we could then maybe look at bringing Paton on for him to latch onto Dalby knockdowns.
