Dougie's sent out a lot of youngsters on loan so they can get some playing experience and it's fairly clear that apart from one or two, most of our younger players aren't going to get much of a sniff at the first team this season. Still he's brought in a few loanees and signed a few older players who seem to be holding the fort pretty well for now.
As a result, some of the "old guard" that got us into this mess appear to have been marginalised e.g. Knight, Eagles, Wheater et al and I'm wondering if they're actually fighting for their places or have resigned themselves to leaving?
Mears is on his way and I'd be surprised if we see Andrews again, so do you reckon Dougie is going to give them all the bullet in January or will he wait until summer? Or will they actually make an effort to force themselves into Dougie's plans?
I suspect that quite a few are already packing their bags.
