We're now starting to see the benefits of our Development strategy, with the emergence of Ntcham, Ajer, Edouard & Kouassi - now add in Musonda & we've potentially got a very young team. KT, Jozo & Moussa are a lot more established, but still very young, Roberts too. I'm glad we're starting to get more of these guys into the team at the same time, where maybe the manager didn't want them all making starts together - like Ajer & Ntcham for the Sevco game. I wonder if we'll see guys like Ralston brought in more? Seeing a very young team & building towards the next couple of years? Meanwhile they are clearly good enough now, for Scottish competition. I'd like to see more of the midfield trio of Broody, Ntcham & Kouassi but it might be hard to fit everyone in - maybe we'll only see that for really physical teams? Anyway, looking good going forward & the addition of Compper will add to the few experienced heads, he's a good communicator too apparently which should bring on the others. Setting up for 10IAR & beyond. |

Is there a backup LB in the youth ranks that can be cover for Tierney? |

I think we'll need to be seeing more of Miller over the next few months otherwise KT will be knackered long before June. |

I think we might be playing with a back three more often. With Hendry and Compper in, we can take a bit of pressure of Tierney in some games. |

Out of those 27, we currently have 8 out with injuries: Gordon, Lustig, Compper, Armstrong, Rogic, Roberts, Griffiths and Hayes. Just under 30%. |

How many games do we actually have left? Given going for the treble and being soundly eliminated by Zenit. |

In games we don't need to worry so much about defending he's fine as a 'wing back'. Apparently Compper is quick and can cover there too but seems either way we're sacrificing defensive capability or attacking capability if KT does get a rest/injured. |

a decent window. We have a good squad, and if we can get everyone fit and firing on all cylinders, we'll be looking at back-to-back Trebles in May. Unlike Flawless, I think we might just get past Zenit too. And then who knows. |

he can cover, but he's not a natural LB |

I think we'll win at home, but progression will likely hinge on us not losing a goal at home. I think we'll go through |

I'll not say there's no chance. But really, with that defence, our home form, our injuries there's no much of a sniff. |

Largely agree except for the Zenit bit. Can't see us getting past them unless they are not taking the competition seriously which I doubt. |

A better than average window, which for January is fine with me. Still quite a large squad when you see it written down. Very heavy on central midfielders especially. Overall though, it's looking fairly decent. I suspect the summer will be busy given the contract situations of a few of them. |

Thanks . So we've 19 games in 108 days. A game every 6 days. Considering the depth in the squad should be absolutely fine |
