Really like young Andy, he should blossom in the championship, hoping Cochrane will refind his form too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_92 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Scott Fraser turned us down when we were in the Premiership to go to Burton. His stock has only risen since and he recently gave an interview saying he wouldn't be interested in coming back to Scotland. He's another one I'd be amazed if we signed.

That assumes no Damour or Lee and Naismith and Walker not CMs. I agree Irving needs to be a regular if our season is 27 games then I would expect him to start all of them. Hopefully we don’t drop him for Damour or Lee as he has potential to be a top player. I would play 4-2-3-1 and play him on the left defensive midfielder/play maker.
