So...given we need 2 or 3 seasoned signings, for now - who do you go with?
Here`s mine:

Deniz
JCM Bene J.Tod
Kearney Otoo
Oakley Amade Gilmour
Cooper Kane

I’d agree with that Coventry.

I’d suggest the players to bring in would be at CB, LWB, GK and a target man striker.

Can’t disagree with the above at the moment, defo need a goalkeeper, CB and LWB if playing a 352 formation.

I would also say we clearly still need that experienced quality creative midfielder, probably the most vital role in our team given last few seasons.

Purely for next three League games, I would go with Coventrys selection with two tweaks.

Davidson for Bene

Bray for Gilmour

Then I`d think.about it for the League.

I`d really like to see an experienced striker, central.defender and a goalkeeper in.

I’m in agreement with Coventry Par. Having Davidson join Tod and Mullen gives you a back line with barely any experience. Yes, Bene was exposed against Hearts and he isn’t at that level but he’s still good enough to be an asset at championship level and the young CB’s we do have will need him.

Sorry: meant to type League Cup. Absolutely agree about an experienced centre half for League.

Got to agree with that first eleven there. That looks to be the best we have. I`d say we need GK, CB, creative midfielder, and CF. Good, experienced, strong men, right down the spine of the team.

I`d still like to see what will happen with Otoo, I`d say he`s got a lot of potential, but I`m not sure where his best position actually is, he`s been messed about under previous managers having to fill in anywhere due to injuries. Hopefully Lennon, can get him in a regular position and he can kick on from there

I don`t think we will get a LWB in ...Lennon has said that`s where he is playing (Otoo). His/our money could well be spent on a (1) seasoned keeper and (2) striker of note
I think Lenny has bought into the boards/Bords young guns strategy but will get his way with those two. Hopefully a CB too.

I`d go with the same as Coventry, but would prefer to swap one of Gilmour/Amade for an attacking midfielder - probably Bray. Otherwise I think all 3 central midfielders are too defensive, too similar. Andy Tod did his chances no harm with his cameo. A bit of pressure on Matty Todd as well, seems a little out of favour.

Could also play Connor Young beside Kane and Cooper as the 10, although given Lennon`s comments about him and his non-appearance against Dumbarton, doesn`t seem likely at the moment.
