A huge credit to James forrest for his contribution recently and ill be the 1st to admit i would have been happy for him to move on next year.
I haven't changed my mind on that as i feel we need better than james to progress, and that's not a knock on james, at his age that's just the reality now.
He has been a tremendous servant and although i've never been his biggest fan he's had a tremendous career for us. If he is still with us next season im sure he will continue to play his part.

The only other thing i want to bring up regarding james is that its a terrible look on the squad that we have had to rely on a bit part player to save our season recently. Khun isn't good enough, yang isn't good enough and rogers clearly doesn't rate palma.
Ill be shocked if kyogo is still at the club next season let alone 1st choice. His overall form this season hasn't been good enough.
Finally this might be very unpopular but im unsure i even want mcgregor as 1st choice from next season. he's been way off it for the majority of the season and its clear the midfield needs a serious makeover. there's something missing with him, its like he hasn't the legs to carry the ball and has seemed much slower moving the ball. He has regressed massively this season.
For me Oriley, CCV and johnston are the only 3 players at the club id be happy with in the starting 11 next season.

Anyways at this stage of the season to hell with performances, just get over the line with the league and cup by any means necessary and rebuild in the summer.

DT been saying for weeks james is far better than yang and palma. he keeps possession and can nick a goal obviously going forward we need better but for the here and now it's james all day.

Yip, Forrest for me albeit I don't think he does well against Newco. It's all about winning ugly from now on. Remember wee Gers will let Newco rub their tummies their last game so it's all on us.

That's it in a nutshell, out of Palma, Khun, Yang, and even MJ or Haksabanovic, the bottom line is we don't have better than JF or Maeda and that's a big worry going forward whatever happens this season. Several people have also mentioned the decline in Cal-Mac due to the amount of football he has been asked to play over the past few years (it's a fair bet he will be going to The |Euros as well) . Basically, we need major surgery right through the team/ squad because we will also have no decent goalkeeper as well as the other positions that need strengthened or upgraded. Huge job ahead and the way the club is currently being operated, it looks like a job for Superman!

God help us if re are relying on only keeping MO’R, CCV and Johnston, first 2 are certainly capable enough but do their agents see them playing in the hoops next season. It could be a problem getting rid of all but 3 first team players and one or others then leave .
I am not sure about Johnston, he blows hot and cold, in my book totally to blame for the last 2 goals Rangers2012 scored against us recently . They were allowed all the time in the world to place cross where they wanted . I think AJ puts too much effort in the first 60-70 mins and then isn’t capable of defending properly at end . Teams who make massive changes take the most of a season at least to gell and would find it hard to retain SPL.

It’s amazing how some people seem to think that Forrest at 32 shouldn’t at his age be anywhere near the playing pitch . I don’t agree and I think he could play another few seasons at the top of the SPL. JF hasn’t been exactly over played in most of his 15 seasons, tactically and for other reasons I don’t think he has played 40 games in many seasons . Throughout the football world there are always many players playing in out field positions until their middle late 30’s
Tiago Silva is 39 and leaving Chelsea, maybe In a few yrs could join Sevco . Modric is no chicken . Leicester City have Vardy.
