def think we need maybe two quality proven players who can totally control the game... maybe a top striker and another midfielder.
at the moment i cant see where we are going to get an individual to score 20 or so goals..
i really dont think that parkin is the answer... he could well be someone to chuck in the mix with 10 or 20 mins to go, but i really dont think he jas the quality to hold the ball up and bring others in to the game...

Full of young, hungry players with something to prove...
One thing that does concern me though, is the lack of match winners and sheer class currently in our squad. Aside from Earnie and Whitt's if we look long and hard at our current team - can we honestly say we have players who could score from nothing or turn a game on its head when the going gets tough?
I don't want to sound negative, because i'm very excited about the forthcoming season and believe both Jenkins and Mackay are doing a class job so far.
But at this level I do think you need a few match winners, how do you guys feel about this? Do you think Malky will splash the cash to bring this element into our squad?

I agree mate. I never like criticising our players, espiecially at times like this. But if we really take a long hard look at our options at the moment - I don't think Parkin is a 20 goal a season player - he is very effective at what he does, but I don't believe he can turn a game on it's head in the same way. No disrespect to him - I'd love him to make me eat my words.

def would love to eat my words....
lets be honest... he needs to work on his touch, he looks more at home playing british bulldogs!! sometimes its cringe worthy to see his control etc..
he def needs to work hard in pre season..
