are any of the following staying.
ross
mcgowan
dair
courts
gordon
walker

Would keep Walker and Courts just.

Glad your no the manager, Cod help us!

Jamie McGowan is staying,

Courts is a good player, if he can get his discipline sorted. Walker is a handy winger.

How many center halves do we need??

looking at the squad thats left for next season,i still think we need to add-a keeper,2 midfielders and 2 strikers.

mcewan-keeper
ovenstone(a good squad player)
john paul mcbride-midfield
oreilly(hopefully)
buchanan(cowden-there was rumour we were offering him an amazing part time deal).

2 of them are very close to signing.

we seem to have freed players from the west and it makes sense to try and bring in fife-based players.
in this case why dont we go for kevin byers and paul shields who played for ayr at the end of the season but was a postie in burntisland a few years ago.
ps.ayr also have a gareth wardlaw who they signed from the shipyard-how did we miss that.

hopefully the 2 signing will be oreilly and buchanan to play upfront together.

Is the 2 we are signing not John and Paul McBride??

Glad McGowan's staying. Him and Smart had an excellent defensive partnership.

We really have to build a squad that's going to be there for more than one season at a time though otherwise we're going nowhere.

Can't complain at having plenty options, but surely Smart, McDonald, Tweed, possibly Courts and McGowan will all be expecting to play?

3 Center backs could work, if we used wing backs, but thats hardly an apt description of Fotheringham (who will also expect to play)
