Former players!

I was watching Michael Gardyne play for Ross County tonight and it made me realise how much we could do with him in our team just now. He provides natural width, can beat a man and is a goal threat. It then made me think about the St Mirren game on Sunday and Keith Watson plus Andy Webster were both playing. Again they are two players who I would put in the united starting 11 at the moment.

Not sure why Jackie didn't give Gardyne a chance, would love Watson at RB allowing MacGowan to go into the centre of defence and Webster's experience would be crucial for us also.

I really am struggling to see where the next goal let alone win is going to come from.

Thoughts?

I think we've learnt our lesson when it comes to re-signing old players. Flood is probably the only time in recent history where it's worked out well and even then he stabbed us in the back again.

I don't think we should re-write history; Gardyne wasn't good for us. He didn't fit into the team and was in a position where we had more than adequate cover. I think he's one of those players who has just found his comfort zone - the only club he'll ever perform at is Ross County.

McGowan is arguably our best player and his natural position is right-back, I don't want him moved from there. Watson looked finished at the top level last season and even Hibs didn't want to keep him. Webster's best playing days are behind him too - released from a League One club and playing for a poor St. Mirren side. He probably wouldn't be worse than Durnan but I don't think he'd be the answer. I think the biggest thing we're missing at the moment is pace. Absolutely no-one to break forward from midfield and take somebody on.

It's really difficult to assess the players we have now as they're clearly all so unfit and don't have a clue what they should be doing on the pitch. The likes of Bodul and Durnan could actually turn out to be good players with a bit of coaching.
