No name.

But Pace. Up. Front.

Tom Tonks, Tamworth Town. Not a CF but his throw-ins reach the far post.
What a weapon. I only saw the last 15 minutes but apparently it caused havoc all game.
The goal that won it, he launched one to the far post under the bar & the goalie punched it in under a mob of players.

Moving players on who our out of contract - I would tell the following that they are not getting a new deal

Gallagher 
Moult
Holt
Docherty
Newman
Middleton

Would give Babunski another year - he would be great with a new manager in a proper system, played in his ideal position. 

The ones above are not good enough if we really do want to be a top 5 side. 

Would go for Stuart Findlay and Danny Armstrong (both OOC at Killie in the summer) to replace Gallagher and Middleton

to be fair to any of these lads, if they aren't in line for a new contract get them telt, it gives them a chance to start looking for something.

There's also some of the young lads, someone will have a list of the out of contract players.

The point earlier re ‘what do we do in training?’

I think it’s just pull muscles and practice long throws

I'm assuming you mean the throwing bit rather than what happens once the ball lands in the box bit?

4 years ago he said =inheritScotland striker Johnny Russell would not rule out playing in the SPFL and says a return to first club Dundee United would be particularly appealing.Russell, 30, is now in his third season with Major League Soccer outfit Sporting Kansas City.He left Tannadice for Derby County in 2013 and has won 14 Scotland caps."I had a great relationship with the fans - hopefully at some point I will maybe get the chance to get myself there," Russell said of United."I wouldn't say I have got a desire to come back - I love it where I am - but I would never turn my nose up to come back and play in Scotland."

Really means nowt though.

Wanting away in January, thinks it's shite here.
He'll say he was mis-reported & loves the Jambos.
 

 
It's not like he's done anything to raise the standard is it.
Has a thread on Jambos Kickback all to himself, 5 pages of how shite he is.

Might as well stay in Costa Rica tbh.

Big IF he wants to come home but JR is a leader in the US. The fans and teammates seem to love Jonny F***ING Russell - so I doubt integration into the senior part of the squad would be an issue.

It will only happen if he wants it though. We won't 'convince' him with money - he's made multiple times more than he ever will at united... and there's a good chance he can stay in kc and live a v comfortable life being adored by their fans.

 A striker with pace is still lacking but we do have 3 senior centre forwards plus Stirton and usually only start with 1 up top.

Stirton will go on loan in January.

We have three Strikers.

One scores (Dalby).

One never scores (VDS).

One is 'ok' and scores sometimes, but doesn't play anywhere near as much as we need him to due to age and injuries and is also rarely risked on plastic (Moult).

We need a Striker. And they badly need pace. Three Strikers isn't enough if we ever want to go two up front.

Michael Cairney has had months to identify one. It's his sole job.
