All this talk of a soft centre. Would the scape goat Cowie been the answer. Constantly slagged off on here though with turner,Whitts,gestede!!!!!

We're actually not. We're actually missing despite him blowing out of his arse after every sixty minutes, Gary Medel. Someoe who did the unpleasant job in midfield

Really need someone to stop the opposition and dictate play. Ole did a hell of a job building a squad in the Sunmer but he did not get enough pace nor midfield strength which is crazy really.

By hell of a job building a squad, don't you mean shit job of building a squad?
Unbalanced, no leaders, no pace, no width sums up OGS squad.

To anyone that has a decent footballing knowledge the squad is pretty good, more than good enough for this level, bar width, God knows what happened to Burgstaller, pace and some level of leadership in midfield.

Squad contains (I think) ten players that have recently won promotion to the Prem and has a decent amount of youth in it too. Ole having very little idea how he wanted to set up consistently, having the fans on his back for changing the team ever and being poor on fitness are large negatives.

He couldn't get rid of Kim, who he clearly wanted to go to Celtic and , I believe, pressured into getting more strikers than he needed, by an owners that wants GOALS!!!

So he did not do 'a hell of a job' then.

On the squad building front, yeah pretty much, other sides obviously very poor. No squad is perfect, the squad Malky took us up with wasn't perfect, thin in defence on the widths and lacked goal scorers. Squad Ole built is far better than that, but he couldn't use them for shit.

I hope we start playing Burgstaller more. It's a joke that he hasn't seen more game time, he's quality.

I dont think we miss Cowie at all, we need strengh in midfield and pace out wide and Cowie does neither.

Agree with his. We are missing a GOOD manager. The squad is quality and has potential to be top 6!

If there were two former players we could do with it would be Craig Conway and Don Cowie. Perhaps not the most talented pair but both are workhorses who are not only up for the fight but already what it takes to get out of this division, unlike most of the unmotivated, overpaid, unfit rabble of individuals we currently have at the club

Definitely not Cowie. Thank goodness he's gone. However we dont half miss Gary Medel
