    Two spring to mind right away.

    Paul Caddis was the best right back we had at the club when he left. He can play on the wing as well, and filled in at left back last season. Cracking wee player with a great cross. He'll play for Scotland.

    Mark Burchill. Think he was only 20 when O'Neill sold him. Ridiculous decision in my opinion. Wikipedia tells us that he scored 20 goals in 50 games for us, and considering the number of times he came off the bench, I think thats an excellent record.

    stephane bonnes was hyped as some player, didnt get a chance.

    i think caddis did get a chance, quite a few times, he was good enough but for one reason or another, he never got a run of games

    Mark Burchill should have gotten the chance to start when Larsson broke his leg but instead Barnes brought in his pal Ian Wright, when O'Neill came he was behind Larsson, Sutton and a fit again Tommy Johnston and he wanted out on loan to get games, the problem was when he went out on loan Jamie Smith took his place on the bench and was playing well in the time he was getting in the first team so when Burchill came back he was even further down the pecking order and so he left.

    Burchill and Caddis got enough chances for me, neither were good enough.

    Jim O'Brien for me, he's not a great player but he's better than McGinn who is playing just now!

    Juarez so far. He can be by far our best midfield player.

    Guys we only see these players for 90 mins, meanwhile the gaffer and the rest of the guys see them nearly almost everyday and see how they play in training and bounce games, so in almost most cases they know what they are doing and not playing them. At the moment Lennys got to make a team of winners.

    Koki Mizuno and David Marshall, I thought Marshall was the keeper we needed, he reminded me a bit of Shay Given, was a fantastic shot stopper and very agile.

    Kenny Miller was a good shout. We should have kept him.

    Misun is the player this season as he can't be worse than Loovens, Hooiveld and Majstorovic.

    think people are harsh on big maj, he needs someone next to him who can play with their feet, a gary caldwell type, i think caldwell and maj would be a good partnership
