One of the most noticeable things this season is how strong the bench looks.
Get rid of Naismith, Osman, Gibson and Kev by all means, but make sure you bring in players who are more than capable of being a first team regular if given the chance.
From the starting XI yesterday, there is Jags, Besic and McCarthy still missing and Galloway was on there, so there are 5 places I suppose with the goalkeeper. Add Oviedo and Lennon to that and you realise if we brought in just another very decent striker or player to replace Kone in the starting XI and it still looks very strong without tapping into the kids.
I suppose there is definitely dead wood in there that could be chopped and certainly it could be said that Naismith, Osman, Peinaar and Gibson are really looking surplus to requirements.
Oh and Hibbert and Peinaar have been stealing a living out of the football club for 2 years now.
