I think 2 strikers should be a minimum. We’ve been lucky in recent years to avoid injuries in key positions but we really lacked anything up front the month we were without McKay and before Ofere joined. Not to forget Billy struggled at the end of the 13/14 season after having to play every single game. JJ Hooper has a good record in lower leagues in England and is still only 21 so would be a decent choice to have on the bench but I’d hope for a more experienced/proven player to lead us into Europe. From what others have said it seems like Roberts looks like a decent player, again at only 21, and with Doran/Christie/Williams/Vincent we are not bad placed for supporting midfielders. Only other area needing filled is a full back, and one that is more comfortable on the left. Unsure about suggestions of Williams – feel he is definitely better going forward and could be a bit lightweight and almost seen as a target by teams in our mostly solid back 4.

For me a left back and two strikers are essential. If Tremarco get's injured then who are we suppose to play there? Adam Eckersley would be a great signing, if he was willing to play in the championship with Hearts then maybe he'd be willing to play for us. In terms of strikers it would be great to have a dynamic sort of forward like McKay, whilst also having a physical presence like Ofere to give us options. I'm not too convinced that a proven striker in the conference south like JJ Hooper would be able to make the grade in the SPL, if he does then it doesn't say much for our league! Really can't complain about our recruitment strategy in recent years with some of the gems we have found, McKay, Rooney, Meekings, Doran etc. I'd like to think we are more capable of attracting better players, especially considering that the players we have brought in from the lower leagues have improved tremendously as footballers whilst playing for us. Since Hughes has came in, almost every single player has improved their game individually as well as collectively. He's made some decent signing in bringing Tansey back and getting Ofere in, so hopefully we'll see more of the same, preferably before the Astra game!

Kick Off for the Home Leg in Inverness confirmed as 7:45pm

Makes sense to get fuel in another country anyway,would save a fortune and good to hear the club are doing what's best for the players performance on the pitch.

I think he's about 30. When he decided against the move to St Johnstone 3 years ago he stated he was putting his family ahead of his career and I guess that's what he's doing here. Good luck to him, I say.
