| 23. Author: Berkey Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 14:52 I think we’ll spend decent money on a good first 11 then have a few benchwarmers to fill out the squad, we might see the likes of Comrie and Clay stay in that regards. KRH has been a massive disappointment since we went up, as said he’s not been good enough at this level. Not every player can make the step up and it’s a big step up from league 1 to the championship playing against bigger better and faster players. We’ve almost had a full team of players who have taken us as far as they can at this level. Shame that as we’ve been crying out for some decent width all season, like yesterday trying otoo on the wing and he’s just not that type of player so hasn’t got a trick to earn himself a yard of space. I think cooper will move on, fancy Lennon will know we need bigger more physical players in this league next year. The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity!

| 24. Author: red-star-par Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 17:00 He`s been not bad coming on as a sub, but he probably needed to establish himself in the first team to earn another contract so I reckon he will move on. When you look at the players out of contract, there are not many worth keeping, I can see them all moving on. Wouldn`t mind us taking up the supposed option on Chikloa-Mullen, and Oluwayemi looks like he has a lot of potential. Them, along with the 9 players under contract for next season gives us the basis for a decent squad. Some of them haven`t really set the heather alight, but they have played in struggling teams, I would think if they were supporting players to stronger, more experienced first team C players, then they could do okay. Just need to fill in the blanks on this squad, in Lennon`s favoured 3-5-2. GK. Oluwayemi CB. Chikloa-Mullen CB. CB. RWB. CM. CM. CM. Otoo LWB. CF. Kane CF. Bench GK. Mehmet CB. Benedictus LB. Ngwenya RW. Richie-Hosler CM. Todd CF. Young CF. McCann Not sure if these two are under contract CB. Young CM. Tod Reply |

| 26. Author: RhinoPars Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 17:29 I don’t agree that Cooper is not good enough for the Championship. Why haven’t we been scoring enough goals (our main problem)? One reason is lack of creativity and the ability of our players to thread passes for others to run on to. Most of our attacks involve getting wide and lumping balls into the middle in the hope someone can make contact. We are so predictable and need more creativity and variation in our attacking play. Just look at the highlights of the PT game and you will see he gets wide and plays a good ball in and then plays a nice pass to set up a Wotherspoon chance. His assists/goal record per minute played is also good. That wouldn’t be the case if he wasn’t good enough for this league. When he came on as a sub in the first away match at Hamilton he really stood out and was our most effective player. We are crying out for more brains and creativity rather than just physical players. I would be keen to see him stay and also get more game time. Next season if we have some good forwards they could really benefit from service from Cooper. In addition he is likely to chip in with a few goals. Post Edited (Sun 20 Apr 17:30) Reply |

| 28. Author: Berkey Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 17:49 Interesting red star, I fancy young or a new striker will fill that other slot at CF, we might continue to play Benny (depends on court case tho) but I can’t see todd or KRH figuring too much next year, bray looks like he’ll be our right winger next season anyway. We’ve got quite a few players signed up looking at that, expect a couple may go out on loan if we can or even free to leave as they won’t figure in lenny’s plans going forward. Would take Tobi if there’s a deal to be done there, has made some mistakes but his distribution makes up for it. The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity!

| 29. Author: RhinoPars Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 18:30 I too would love us to sign Tobi as well as extend Chilokoa-Mullen’s contract. Reply |
| 30. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 18:40 Martin Boyle to partner Kane in attack heard it here first 😉 On a serious note I can’t wait to see who comes in this summer. Reply |
