Awright troops, long time watcher first time poster.

Just a thought here n no to be negative eddie or owt but is anyone else no concerned that we're potentially lookin at an almost entirely new first team?

Am aw fur the changes and really quite please with MA appointments so far and am the first to say they were badly needed. but a canny help but sit here n think 'hawd on a wee minute does this put us on the backfoot because we huv to develop as a full team from scratch for the second half of the season? '

like a say - am well up fur the changes and overall v impressed with our use of the limitated finances we have in this window so dinnae anyone jump down ma neck lol

just wondering what fellow bears think of this?

Valid point mate. I'm probably just a pessimist and it all feels a bit too good to be true lol

For me it's definitely a good thing, the amount of players which will be fighting it out for places can only be a good thing, the team performances should increase a lot now and I'm excited to see if the Cummings and morelos partnership brings rewards!

I agree must be good. Actually added quality and depth. Our starting 11 pretty much picked itself this season, windass had a free pass to play garbage first few months of the season same with Miller. Now guys have to be on their game or there is someone right behind them ready to take their place

I take your point though loovy, difference between now and the summer is that it is Scottish guys we are signing so they should adapt better than Pena and Herrera for example

If its as badly needed as you say mate, which I agree it is then it can only be positive. Did you see the team in america? If you never then the new boys goss murphy looked as though they had been in the team for a while, both added quality to the team. Cummings and morelos will be lethal together. Welcome to the site mate.

Loovy good point bud! We still have more or less of the backbone of the team and with the signings made they would go straight in to starting 11 as in Martin centre back Murphy wide Cummings alongside morelos already stronger with these 3 in my opinion!
Hopefully another couple added.

agree coldo and did see them over in the states aye. Looks like we have a few good players planting the right seeds and am delighted mate. just hoping we have enough time to convert it into points and keep the sheep in their pen.


Aye jayjay, hoping we keep the structure and formations the same and slot in the strength and continue to build on that as opposed to blast the new guys right in and expose any weaknesses (by that a mean by lack of time together as a dynamic squad as opposed to skill or passion etc afore anyone shoots me lol)
