From what we have at the moment, what formation and team would everyone start next season with?

I'd go for a 4-3-3

Bell

McAusland McCulloch McGregor Wallace

Law Black MacLeod

Clark Miller Templeton


Bell is a certain starter, as good as any goalie in Scotland imo. McAusland due to the fact that Foster is woeful. McCulloch (or Daly) alongside McGregor in the middle, hopefully McGregor's considerable pace will help out one of those two. Wallace automatic pick, he is our best player. Midfield I'd have Black sitting, strictly doing the dirty work and keeping it simple, allowing Law and MacLeod to create. Then up top Miller central with Clark and Templeton playing off him running beyond him getting in behind with their pace.

{Ed039's Note - What is all the big fuss with McAusland, everytime I have seen him he has done nothing?)

As I said in the post, the reason he would play is because Foster is utterly shocking, not because I rate him particularly highly. He has been solid and largely gone unnoticed in his games, that is not a bad thing for a defender.

He's never been gave a chance Ed to be fair but the 2 games he started at the start of the season he never put a foot wrong. Did his defensive duties and got up the line well. Fosters been poor. I would have probably gave Peralta a chance at RB last season though. Do you know if there's any suitors for him since he wants away?

{Ed039's Note - not that I am aware, getting injured doesnt help)

Bell
? Mcgregor Gasparotto Wallace
Mckay Law Macleod Templeton
Miller Clark

Gallagher and co on the bench

Never seen such nonsense, take it your not a professional manager then mate?, mcausland is a kid, he would be destroyed, did u mention jig/Daly in middle of park? Bell best in Scotland?
We need 3 new players to survive in the league

@4

Wadafa? lol

How many professional managers usually post on here anyway?

And I take it you're not much of a reader then Tommy, mate? When I said McCulloch/Daly "in the middle" I quite obviously meant the middle of defence. I thought with that being smack bang in the middle of my right and left back would have given that away. That's where central defender's usually are, surely you should know that being a genius football mind (and presumably a manager since you can spot those who aren't)? Btw, McAusland is 21 years of age and has played over 30 games in the Scottish lower leagues, I think he would be just fine.

I think the time would be good for Jig to move to a coaching role. He'd do really well. He is getting on a bit to be pencilled in as a centre back! I agree that kids like Gasparotto and McAusland should be given a chance. How do we know how good they'll be if they aren't blooded? Wouldn't play Black, but definitely Mackay and McLeod in the middle with Law and Templeton. We do have quality in Bell and Wallace and I also think Miller will help us win the Championship. What happens after that, who knows!

N7 DOIGER ime in total agreement wiith your post mate I also think you could put your hat in the ring for the rangers job as a lot us think along the same lines as you regarding the youngsters lol

Tmwnn. Why don't we both apply as joint coaches? Something new! lol. Couldn't do any worse than oor Ally!

Believe, I don't think McCulloch will feature much this season. I think Moshni would be in the team ahead fo the back 4 you posted. I see we open the season at home to Hearts at ibrox and play them at Tynecastle on the last day of the season. OOFT!

Spot on 7 I agree with tmwnn you can pick the side at the start of the season.

DOIGER we would save the club a lot of money if we take up the role lol maybe bring in some new faces eh a couple of the current dutch squad

Ed?

It has been reported in the Aberdeen Evening News paper that McCoist is not interested in Boyd.

Do you think this is the case?

I would definitely want Boyd over Miller.

{Ed039's Note - He is apparantly in talks with the sheep, McCoist may well be interested but it probably remains to be seen where his budget is at, remember Jon Daly also under contract as well as Miller)

Boyd might end up at dundee utd then him and telfer could come back to haunt us
