If KRH is back and fit he could play in the right with Todd on the left and Kane up top.
Or perhaps Cooper playing in behind Kane with Todd, 2 number 10s.

McCann will be a big loss as he plays well with Kane. Yeboah so far has only been effective when coming off the bench due to his pace. Personally I’d avoid starting him. If McCann is out for Saturday I’d rather see Wotherspoon and Todd playing just behind Kane.

Noticed wotherspoon was back for queens game so would like to see him come in and maybe play a bit further forward.
Yeboah from the start gives you the fear, he rarely completes a pass or does anything creative with the ball, he’s fine to put on in last 20 when you trying to protect a lead by closing down players though.

Yeboah has started 7 league games for us and contributed absolutely nothing.
He’s looked ok when coming on and running at tired defences and winning free kicks etc….. but that’s about it.
I’d worry if he was to partner Kane tbh, McCann at least gets the ball into dangerous areas and creates chances, how many times heave we seen him whip the ball in low form the right and it leads to a goal.
Yeboahs decision making is atrocious, I can recall 5 or 6 moments he could’ve slipped in fellow strikers and possibly lead to goals but he hasn’t.

That`s the most positive post I`ve seen about McCann in ages. It`s almost a eulogy - quite appropriate, given we`re unlikely to see him in a Pars top this season. ☹️
Here`s hoping whoever comes in for him steps up and makes us proud of his contribution and gets us up the table. 🤞

Since we have adopted the long ball game, we need a big lad up front for Tobi to aim at. Lewis is the obvious target man. If he isn`t fit to play, Chris Kane being shorter in stature, doesn`t fit the bill for that. Andrew Tod, to me, just doesn`t look robust enough to fulfill that role. If McCann is ruled out maybe the long ball game should be rethought for the Thistle game.

He`s a perfect example of players we seem to sign. After his first game I thought we have a real player here who can take a man on and if we can work on his delivery he will be a brilliant wide player. Since then he hasn`t taken a player on and gets stood up by the full back and either passes it off to the full back or centre mid around the half way line and hasn`t really been seen much since.
Hopefully that was him following the manager`s instructions and Lennon can get him taking on a man and putting in a good delivery if so he would fill the McCann role best.

We have to play the long ball game at home because the pitch is terrible. At this stage of the season we aren’t going to start to try and play a passing game at home.
If McCann is out then I fully expect us to use the same tactics.

If he`s completely out of condition, we never should have signed him in the first place.

Some people think we just signed him for "commercial" reasons rather than footballing reasons, but only the club will know for sure.
Either way, there is a big difference between "strolling the league" next season (as a midfield general) versus playing upfront now in a team that is struggling to create chances and/or cope with the state of the pitch.

I suppose the manager might think that if you are going to be a man shorter at the back then he`d rather the players remaining there are the ones with some pace.

It was possibly my brief experience of seeing Wanyama in his favoured defensive midfield role in the Ayr game that helped form the opinion that he might do better in a more advanced position, on the basis that he may, at least do less damage up there. But let`s give the lad a chance, first impressions are not always accurate.

I think we could potentially see 3 or 4 experienced players come in, mixed with prospects such as Connor Young, JCM and other targets they identify. If we get that balance right and mix that with our own youth we it could be an exciting team to watch.
That’s where the previous owners went wrong. Not enough investment in the first team.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see us looking at players like Cummings, who has already been mentioned.
I don’t think we’ll have a team of guys like Forrest, Boyle and the like though. Don’t think this would align with the data models the new owners are trying to promote.

I’d hope NL is here next season, and a long term manager, pushing us for promotion to the Premier League. I think the data confirms or not if any player meets the criteria and what the head coach is looking for. So the data and head coach work together to identify recruitment, not data alone.
Maybe the issue with our younger loanees is that the data is collected over performance at under 20 levels and not the blood and snotters of Championship in Scotland.
As I’m typing that, I’m thinking Wanyama!
Anyway, let’s secure our Championship status first!

As long as we don`t sign duds like we have in previous years and expect to challenge for top 4. A proper clear out is required. Keeping the same guys around that have had chance after chance before and expecting a different result will undoubtedly end in another disastrous season. I don`t think Lennon will keep most of the guys out of contract in the summer.

Can’t remember the exact wording but it was along the lines of Bord is “throwing the kitchen sink at it”, “has big plans for moving forward” and that he has heard that there are agreements in place to sign a Bulgarian for £300,000 in the summer” along with other high profile players.

Come from a very reliable source.
Just need to make sure we stay up!
In terms of names I`m not being told but I`m being told that the Wanyama signing will be surpassed....
I’m here to take over!!

Dunfermline spending 300 thousand on a player 😄. Saying that I`ve had a look at the top 2 Bulgarian leagues and there are a few players that could fit the bill. There is a 23 year old called Denislav Angelou in their 2nd division that`s scored 15 goals. Of course it might not even be a player playing in Bulgaria but I`d imagine the Bulgarian 2nd division is a decent standard.
Pure guesswork and speculation on my part. 300 thousand quid could get us half a team. The owner is rich, but not insanely rich.

I don’t see why Wanyama would be signed without considering having him next season.
He turned down another offer at QPR, he’s talked about wanting to live in Scotland.
Yes he’s unfit, but he’s not a dinosaur, he’s 33 and over the break and into preseason he’ll have ample opportunity to get fit.
It may be a shrewd move acquiring him now as a fitter version in future will likely have encouraged more suitors which we may not have been able to compete with.
We have to stay up ofcourse but if we do I’d like to see both NL and Wanyama kept on and excited by the rumours about what Bord has planned.
Maybe the way this season has went actually works in our favour, funny how football works itself out.

With McCann and Young being out - I know Lenny has said we are down to the bare bones - we would have been in real trouble without the mass signings in Jan/Feb !!
As has been said elsewhere - with the pitch being as it is - we are playing longball. Could be a great chance for someone to step up and the catch the eye for an extended contract or offer to sign?
If he is fit I would have O`Halloran taking McCann`s role in a CK -MOH pairing
Who knows , maybe its Rivaldo`s turn to shine.

Not so sure covernty, Sutherland and yeboah are much the same for me so I’d rather have given Sutherland the chances yeboah has had.
Apart from mullan none of the Jan signings have made much impact.
GG of course you would rather have McCann fit and available for selection in the current team given our lack of options, the point I was making is that McCann has not been in the team for his height as he doesn’t win much in the air. He’s better than yeboah anyway.

He can`t get a scan until Monday so the swelling can go down but NL thinks it`s a bad one and his season is probably over.

The Hamilton point deduction is huge McCann out for presumably the season and kane will probably miss 1 of the remaining 3 leaves us with very little in the way of attacking options. If we can get Lenny to stay I`d be happy to trust his judgement on the contracts expiring and bringing in guys to get us challenging for top 4.

We might get some surprises in who he retains.
The players are not as bad as all the wannabe Peles on here. Most just needed a better manager. He might think he can work with some of them.

History will tell you most aren`t though. Relegation, returned, limped to safety, and poor performances far too often this year and fighting to save us from the drop again ( aided by the Hamilton situation).
From what I`ve heard the board is wanting to challenge the top 4. Apart from comrie kane (when fit ) mullen and maybe otoo I can`t see anyone else good enough for a top 4 team. 3 managers we have had and even Lennon is struggling to get a tune out of the team. Although he has at least got the common sense to get rid of this passing out from the back patter that the other 2 plonkers didn`t.
c'mon the pars

A lot of this squad have had plenty of time to prove themselves at this level and haven`t. A big summer clear out is absolutely necessary. There are some I`d keep though

I can see Comrie, Chalmers and Hamilton being offered deals. The rest will be off.

If NL stays on as manager presumably he`ll make his decisions on contracts based on what he has seen in games and in training rather than hearsay evidence from folk at the club or comments on fans` forums. Certain players who haven`t shone under previous managers may fit the way he wants the team to play.

Clay might be one to fall into that category.

Lennon likes Clay as he reminds him of himself. A simple no frills ball winner.

Wanayama signs for next season if he can prove he`s worth the contract.
That`s 100% true, no sarcasm.
He won`t be the most high profile player at the club next season either....
Stay up & Lennon signs a 3-year deal & has a substantial budget.0
Says who?
Speculation, gut feeling, or inside info?
To be fair I heard from someone that has been pretty damn itk in the past say the same thing, stay up and there will be substantial investment in the team in comparison to the last few years.
Yes I believe there will be. I was meaning, who says Wanyama and higher profile players will be recruited though?
This was mentioned on the BBC Scotland Football Podcast by a jurno after Wanyama signed.

Possibly someone from our sister club, Septemvri Sofia, like their young striker Borislav Rupanov. It would make sense for there to be some kind of link up

I wouldn’t mind Clay getting offered a deal for next season. I’ve been really impressed with him last few games, makes you wonder why McPake and Tidser never used him. As far as I’m aware he wasn’t injured as he was on the bench most weeks, his attitude seems spot on and he’s been one of our better players recently.

Get rid of whoever’s contract is up at the end of the season..then look at paying off the deadwood we still have AND start fresh for next season… if McCann goes then good luck and just try harder at your next team!
