Punt Quinn (finished).

That would surely free up some cash for 2 new signings in. Maybe even more if we sell either Robson/Fraser or both.

This notion that we have the 'best squad in the league by a distance' is a bit of a fallacy imo. And one that gets consistently quashed on a regular basis.

​I said yesterday that if you want to win this league then you go to places like Brechin and win,it's that simple.

Too many of these type of embarrassing results have became 'the norm' now for our club.

​Csaba can't afford to wait to wait till the Summer to improve our lot.He must act in January (and fast too).

​Livi and St.Mirren show no signs of slipping up in their form and we simply cannot afford to finish anything other than 1st this season.

Concerned.

That is 100% spot on .
 

No doubting the need for a target man or at least another decent striker. No sign of Nkoy on the bench today Czaba must have seen enough of him on training, even Brechins striker Isaac something has more to offer then Nkoy. This has to be sorted  in January or away form could be fatal.

Murdoch was absolutely phucking brutal, yet again. The boy wasn't a particularly good midfielder, and he's certainly not any use at right back. Both full back positions need to be addressed in January. Obviously we need a target man, and another wide option would make a massive difference to our title charge.

Punting peripheral players like Quinn and Briels can hopefully allow us a bit of wiggle room in January. If we don't have the funds to get another right back in, surely it'd be worth recalling Ballantyne from his loan at Montrose, he's been getting rave reviews for the past two seasons, there's no way he can be any worse than Murdoch or Toshney.

100% agreed. We won't need to punt Quinn though as he is only under contract until January anyway iirc.

Totally agreed re Quinn until after watching him today. Very right footed though. January will be interesting for sure. We've had loan trialist fae Burnley I think, young forward. Hope this leaked info means there are a few mair in oor sites.  Last 3 games have definately given Csaba a good taste of what the league is about and the issues we have.

What he does with it time will tell. I'm reservedly happy with him so far.

He surely has contacts far and wide. Loanees might be the way forward wi nae dosh and a hero role to be had for promotion eh.
