No Kent just yet.
I think Holt and Dodoo might get payoffs but we really need Grezda our the door.

Final first team squad at 28 players which includes Grezda.
I wonder if he might get a chance to train with the first team again seeing as no one took him.
There’s no way we’re paying off his final 3 years.

That’s good as we were away up at 38 or something ridiculous before the cull
Haha, 27 (28) if you include grezda
I cut some of the original post as that’s the final squad until January
I’d love to know what Grezda does on a daily basis?
Does he actually train with the first team squad or not?

I think he's going to have to.
He's worth too much to be with the kids squad. Assuming his attitude is correct, bring him back, get him fit and let's see if a chance or two comes up .
We need to work to get him ready to selling in January.
After Dorrans and Dodoo, we cannot afford any more costly pay offs. This needs to end.

About the right size of squad now . Should now be a one in one out . I would expect over the next next couple of windows a very few transfers but those bought to be of quality and first team starters
The Andy king loan is bizarre and pointless for me.........we sent Docherty out on season long loan to improve he did that played extremely well in pre season but barely had a kick this season. He now finds himself totally out the picture with no prospect of getting the amount of games he needs.
Loaning king will stifle our own player

King adds quality that Doc doesn't have and is apparently a minimal outlay.
I think Docherty is a smashing player
SG obviously doesnt.

I'd have King on over Docherty every day of the week.

The good thins is that we have the ability to play several different formations with the squad that we now have. Previously we only had the players for one formation which caused issues.
The only thing I would have liked was a third choice for the strikers but I imagine that Kent can also do that as we saw at paedo park last year.

Docs has a terrific workrate and level of fitness, but in all honesty I never really come away from games feeling he's stood out or brought anything special to the game.
He's the definition of squad filler for me at the moment and I'm actually quite surprised he's not gone back out on loan for another year. Especially with the players, like King, who have come in.
SG must still have faith in him or think he'll be useful for squad rotation as the season goes on, but for me he doesn't show the kind of quality to be a first-team regular in the long-term.
Hope to be proven wrong, but I think he'll always be a bit-part player for us.
Wow that is a young squad (apart from Defoe, Davis and McGregor!)
Don't know much about King but it's obvious SG doesn't trust Docherty.I said months ago that Kelly was a far better player than Docherty and I'm positive he will replace him next year and go on to be an absolute star

Adds quality to the bench without playing are you seriously suggesting it was a good and sensible signing ?

With what club ?
Are you suggesting we should have passed up the chance to get a guy in on the cheap who has an EPL medal?

Easily!
I would hope for us.I have heard the boy was a bit miffed at being left out of the overall squad at preseason and will make his mind up at the end of the season

I had high hopes for Docherty when he signed for us but it just hasn’t worked out for the lad and it doesn’t appear that SG rates him which is a shame.
