    Think about this. Take a side our first eleven and even throw in their likely replacements . Remove them from our squad and also take away players on loan. An argument could be made that with what's left that 11 could challenge for second place!!

    Gordon

    Frimpong
    Hendry
    Oconnor
    Miller

    Eboue
    O'Connell

    Arzani
    Shved
    Sinclair

    Afolabi

    Shows the strength in midfield alone

    That XI there?

    Haven't really seen at least half of them play, but even with that...no. Any team with Hendry and Miller in the back 4 will struggle. Nowhere near second.

    I remember the huns arrogantly saying similar about their squad, the year we stopped them doing the 10.
    A week ago people thought the Huns would beat us.
    Let's not go from one extreme to the other.
    There has to be balance.
    We have a long season ahead, we have started well but.

    Definitely a top 6 side possibly 4 Gordon would need to be at top of his game as Hendry and Calvin Miller are trash. Could slightly sort it out with Hayes at LB but still got Hendry in there.

    Can't really make a judgement on that team as I've not seen the majority of them play.

    Those are all 3rd/4th choice players, and as a team it's lacking in so many areas that I wouldn't even fancy them for the Scottish Championship.

    I meant on loan away from us. As in our current squad as it stands.

    I see that as a top 6 side certainly. The defense is the weakest without doubt. And as someone rightly pointed out when everyone is fit, likes of Hayes would be a reserve reserve . Griff might also be a reserve reserve for that one position up front.

    It's stronger than a side that would be Scottish equalivent to championship

    Maybe no second best but still a good side.

    I wouldn’t be confident if Lennon put that team out vs Huns, Sheep, Hearts, Hibs, Killie or Motherwell, so probably not.

    We do have very good depth though.

    Nope.

    Loath the International break..

    We've won one Hun game and the gap is only 3pts, Ffs..

    Nothing was decided on Sun.

    Yes, but it is a vastly inferior team to that one. To be honest, I do consider the performance in the challenge cup mostly disappointing. There is an age limit as well I think, we couldnt just shove Gordon or Sinclair in that squad.
