A Steven MacLean type striker or a Danny Swanson like midfielder would be ideal to come into that team.

Looks much more solid but think it would need another good striker or creative/goal scoring midfielder to keep us up from here. Probably in place of Franczak at this stage.

We are looking for the right attitude first and foremost at the moment, Steven will bring that as a bare minimum. Hopefully some quality to go with that too.

He was keen on a fresh challenge because the club has been a total shit show for four years and he felt the brunt of that despite being one of the main reasons we were able to stay in the league. Ryan McGowan is better than what we have now but that says more about Levein’s recruitment.

They were left a premiership club that Liam Gordon, a St Johnstone supporter from Perth who was club captain didn’t want sign with again after years of struggle and incompetence. If someone like that doesn’t want to be at the club, not much chance of attracting other premiership quality players.

All dates back to Steve Brown downing tools and handing the running of the club over to people not qualified to do so. Thrown all his dad’s tremendous work away. An arrogant man, who has let his Dad and the club down massively.

If Clark is fit, I’d be tempted to start him and Sidibeh up front together in a two v United. Bit harsh on Kirk though.

Cheers. Not sure why it didn’t work out at Oxford - possibly had a good keeper in front of him. Would think he would be one you could get in January without paying a fee.

How does Ed McGinty’s data look? Not out of contract at Oxford but been back on loan at Sligo so could be available in January.

Cheers - up against physical strikers too and I guess some defensive clearances in the box might not be classed as an aerial duel. Defended the box from corners really well I thought.

Thought Mikulic made a big difference today, commanding in the air. Out of interest anything that shows how many arial duels he won? Felt like a lot.
