    Yup the * had 3 squads apparently, 1 for the league 1 for the cups and 1 for Europe. Look how that turned out, let’s just bother about our first team doing what it has been winning trophies.

    What about an under 21 team, anyone before after 1 January 1997 I think is the UEFA rules.

    Hazard
    Frimpong O'Connor Ajer Taylor
    Kouassi Connell
    Shved Henderson Johnston
    Edouard

    Mullen, Ralston, Miller, McInroy, Dembele, Arzani, Bayo
    Seems not a bad team.

    In fact, if anything,I am looking at our squad list and it is extremely bloated. We didn't get rid of Hendry, Miller, and many others. Wikipedia lists 34 first team players plus the likes of Henderson, Okoflex, Dembele, who should be getting game time too. That we could mount three, four different teams is not exactly good news.

    Exactly mate. It's crazy what one win can do as well.
    It's erratic as *, from Lennon needs to get to *, to we have a squad of 3 teams etc.
    Hopefully everyone will.back him now.
    But one draw and it will be a disaster again.

    Not sure about reserve team but our 2nd best 11 would be the 2nd best 11 in the country

    There's some poor sides in our league so I think we'd make 4th or 5th

    middle to front they look ok and i think hendry could come good yet needs to toughen up though, dont really know much about frimpong oconnor miller, get the feeling opponents would just constantly bombard the defence with high balls

    Arrogant, self-indulgent Hunlike thread.

    First off what's your problem

    Second off it's international week and most of us are bored with it.

    Third it's deffo not a hun thread. Because if their third team is second best in the country then it's better than their first team because that's clearly the position they currently hold.

    And last off that middle to front is better than anything in the league bar us and the Huns, that includes Aberdeen and the diets etc.

    First off it’s not even our reserve team..

    Second the first team are only 3pts ahead with 4 games played, it comes across as arrogant and that’s why I said Hunlike.. the early signs are good for the team, but let’s not get carried away. Complacency is our only enemy.. Nothing is won yet.

    Thirdly, I’ll give that, the international break always produces pointless threads..:50:

    To be fair I did say reserve reserve team. As in our third team.

    It was more a tongue in cheek question would they be second best in the league. I was poking fun at the Huns:)

    But I was surprised ppl felt that if you removed our first 22. We wouldn't have a team that would be top 6 in the league.

    I feel our squad is quite strong at the moment. Bar potentially centre back.

    We have 3 goalkeepers that should be good enough for top 6 in Scotland and 3 strikers good enough to play in top 6.

    I've real hopes for this boy oconnor. By all accounts highly rated at OT and some eyebrows raised that we could prize him away

    I think our second best 11 would beat our best 11 and win the league ahead of us.


    So there

    What you more seriously could ask is.

    What members of our second best 11 would not be first choice for any of the other teams. Thats probably a better way to try and think of it

    Would Griffiths be first choice at every other team??? Yes

    Would Hayes??? Probably

    Would Sinclair? Yes

    Would Rogic? Yes

    And so on

    Our kid's get smashed in the Scottish challenge cup thingy every season by part timers....so I doubt it..

    Playing weekly in the top flight

    Mullen

    Frimpong
    Hendry
    Deas
    Connell

    O'Connor
    McInroy
    Henderson

    Dembele
    Afolabi
    Okoflex

    That kinda side would survive probably and do no too bad..
