My preferred first 11 who is available right now. What’s your thoughts?
Keepers
OFW
Defenders
RB - Aaron Comrie
CH - Mark Connolly
CH - Vytas Gaspunities
LB - Josh Edwards
Midfield
LW - Steven Lawless
CM - Graham Dorrans
CM - Dan Pybus
RW - Kai Kennedy
Forwards
CF - Kevin O’Hara
CF - Nikolay Todorov
I like the idea of giving youth a chance but there is a time and a place and that ain’t right now. We cannot afford that luxury unfortunately.
Denis Mehmet - Does he deserve another chance? Back Up
Lewis Martin - Injury prone unlikely to see him this season if ever
Ross Graham - Had a few howlers needs more experience
Kyle MacDonald - Good replacement for Edwards if needed. great crosser
Rhys Breen - Doesn’t look ready for the 1st team yet.
Miller Fenton - Youth player
Leon Jones - Not near good enough
Ryan Dow - Not been the same since he was injured.
Iain Wilson - If fit would have him in midfield instead of Pybus
Paul Allan - Great youth prospect needs development time.
Dom Thomas - Probably our best player when fit and on his A game.
Matthew Todd - good prospect nowhere near good enough for the 1st team
Reece Cole - Injured ?? Looked a decent player
Craig Wighton - Needs someone to feed off maybe try with O Hara
Lewis McCann - Raw not physical enough. Potential

A midfield 2 with dorrans in it would get swamped, he’s not got the legs and drops deep leaving the other guy in there overrun.
It needs to be a 5 man midfield with what we currently have, a couple of decent midfielders arrive and it might mean we go back to a 442.
Things will be looking up……..now yogi is gone!

On Saturday I thought that Edwards looked a different (and better) player in the second half when he seemed to have been moved from his dithering left back position and apparently told to get up the park a bit and go on some runs: suddenly he became something of a threat. I’d like to see him repeat that in future games. I know it could leave the left side of defence exposed in a counter attack but it’s worth a try.

We shouldn’t sugar coat this but our squad is very poor, if you were given a clean sheet who would you actually keep?
From GK to striker this is by far the worst squad I have ever witnessed at EE in 30 years.

When Dorrans was out injured I thought we probably played better. On paper with his experience you would probably want him in your team.

OFW - would love better, but hasn`t let anyone down I don`t think.
Denis Mehmet - it`s rare to find a keeper, you can`t even say "he`s a good shot stopper" about. To me very poor and hope he doesn`t play again.
Lewis Martin - Would love to see him back for his sake. Whether he would be same player is debatable.
Comrie - poor season but a good player
Ross Graham - imagine confidence shot to bits. Best to move on and rebuild shattered confidence elsewhere.
Josh Edwards - Sometimes impressive, other times erratic. I say stock with him but Def need another someone who can fill in. A fully fit Martin would be better.
Gaspuitis - Not a great footballer, but a straight forward no nonsense defender, want him to play more.
Connolly - definitely a mistake or two in him, but has been one of better defenders
Kyle MacDonald - See Edwards.
Rhys Breen - Doesn’t look ready for the 1st team yet, looked an Arial threat v Ayr, so that`s something.
Leon Jones - unknown, but have no enthusiasm to find out.
Ryan Dow - Not been the same since he was injured. Been a fan but feel he is in last year at club.
Dorrans - see his quality in flashes, needs to be more consistent
Kennedy - Got ability but doesn`t do it enough, don`t think he is the answer
Pybus - A simple grafter, nothing more nothing less
Iain Wilson - If fit would have him in midfield, but don`t see him as being a massive step up in quality
Paul Allan - glad he getting games and shows composure, but lacks a bit of pace and ability to drive and look forward.
Dom Thomas - Probably our best player when fit and on his A game
.
Matthew Todd - Pybus like but just not as good.
Reece Cole - hard to say
Craig Wighton - either the difference in games or just a hindrance, not consistent enough despite having ability
O`Hara - got ability but not showing it enough
Todorov - Think decent stroker in there
Lewis McCann - .Glad he has had a run and got goals, but not someone I`d want to spearhead an escape from relegation.
Best team..4-5-1 meets 4-3-3
OFW
Comrie..Gaspuitis , Connolly..Edwards/Martin pre injury
Dorrans..Allan..Pybus
Thomas...O`Hara...Lawless
Happily see OFW, Connolly and two of central midfielders replaced with better in Jan though.
BEAST!
