For a Ferry replacement - a player very similar to him who would be good is Leon McCann at Falkirk.

Do think that this signing gives a hint to Goodwin's intentions for the defence this season, albeit it's hardly a red hot take.

Walton wasn't really one for coming out and claiming set pieces in his last two spells. It was usually him remaining on his line whilst Gallagher-Holt in front of him won everything. Expect us to sign a big hammer thrower of a similar mould to play in the middle of the 3 next season.

That's a good point. I also thought that part of the attraction of Walton was how early we could get that particular bit of business done, get him in asap and start building a relationship with our defence. 

 
Agree with this.i also think part of Jim’s 3-4-3 idea was to be possession based and dictate play from the back or counter attack quickly. Kuch was an important part of that and was clearly comfortable with the ball at feet even if it never really worked. When Kuch was dropped we became markedly worse going forward.  It would seem Jim is binning this idea going back to Walton.
