July 21, 20206 yr comment_1732023 Still looks light in defence and striking options, need left back and prob versatile player to cover left and right back. Would like to see another centre back and two strikers. So 5 players I would think, Erahon and couple guys who have played for Fleetwood a few times not going cut the mustard...need some real quality instead of messing about.... Report

Can't believe we will get more than two more. A left back and a striker. That'll take us to about 21 senior players plus a couple of kids and our third goalie. That should be our lot I think. Report

When Magennis, Flynn and Kyle M are fit we have a decent squad.. Report

Left back, striker and potentially a centre half for cover. Transfer window being open until October is a bit of a wildcard as well. We could potentially move one or two out the way on loan to make way for a new face after season has begun. Report

July 21, 20206 yr comment_1732059 Am I right in saying that we don't have a natural left back? Options currently being Erhahon, MacPherson or Tait? Presuming that Killie want to hold onto Waters? Report

Presuming that Killie want to hold onto Waters? I think that you are correct on all counts. Still a matter of watch this space for a designated left back. Edited July 21, 20206 yr by St.Ricky Report

Sad Still time and the squad, on paper, seems to be building nicely. Two more.. Left back and striker please. Report
July 21, 20206 yr comment_1732108 I do wonder where this latest signing leaves young Erhahon? Although it looks to only be a squad player spot, personally would've liked to see Ethan get more of a run in there. Report

So 5 players I would think, Erahon and couple guys who have played for Fleetwood a few times not going cut the mustard...need some real quality instead of messing about.... Defence options currently look like this: Left back: Tait/ At a push Erhahon Centre Half: McCarthy | Shaugnessy | Baird | If needed Foley | If needed Sheron Right-back: Tait | Baird | MacPherson | Flynn (when fit) To me, the most pressing position is left-back, with the others covered not as bad as first looks. Keeping McCarthy and Shaugnessy fit and free from suspension will be key in the middle. Agree we need a striker and that will most likely be worked on as we speak. Wouldn't surprise me if its another loan player with the season so close to starting. Report
July 21, 20206 yr comment_1732129 The squad is now shaping up well my view is we now need a recognised left back I would think Tait will be the regular right back although he did say himself he is comfortable at left back as for central defence we have Baird as cover and of course Foley is comfortable in central defence if required.I think Jim is keen to add another striker.We are certainly well covered in midfield.

July 21, 20206 yr comment_1732145 Just now, pod said: He's only 24. Agreed but speed over the ground has not been his greatest asset pod. Great tackler, gives 100% every time. Report
July 21, 20206 yr comment_1732147 Baird is alright in a pinch. Only that. I still think 3 will come in from here, a LB a Striker are definite. From there, I'd say either another centre half as cover or another centre forward. Report

Signed two kids for midfield who have hardly kicked a ball with Mcgennis and Flynn injured. Only have one striker at present and imo Morias and Erahon way off level required...McAllister injury prone so carrying passengers to start with...I think the squad is very very average and wouldnt be confident winning championship with it...

Rather strangely, I find myself agreeing with my alter ego. I think it's shaping up rather well. Report
