What your club’s boss needs ....

season well but is raw and inconsistent, while his stamina is still an issue. Accies need someone to add to their attacking threat having witnessed Ali Crawford, Antonio Rojano and David Templeton all exit.

The team as a whole is very young, with not a lot of football experience, let alone experience of the Scottish game. Accies seem to shop in an entirely different market to the rest of the top flight but any sort of attacking inspiration would be most welcome. There has been quite the turnaround at Tynecastle with a number of the raft of new signings already making their mark but more still needs to be done.

The team still lack real quality in wide areas, although that could be resolved by the signing of Demetri Mitchell, pictured left, while the injury to Christophe Berra and sale of Kyle Lafferty pushed Hearts deeper into the transfer market.

With Czech striker David Vanecek due in January, centre-back is perhaps a more pressing issue, especially as Berra’s absence leaves a huge hole in terms of a commanding presence, experience and standards. It is hard to select one specific position where Hibs are under-strength. A couple of weeks ago it was clear that the centre of midfield still needed improvement after the departures of John Mcginn, Dylan Mcgeouch and Scott Allan. However, Emerson Hyndman, Mark Milligan and Daryl Horgan have joined Stephen Mallan in that department.

Lennon has already moved Mallan deeper from his preferred No 10 role and Horgan has impressed in his short time at the club with his positivity and quick feet. Ahead of him Hibs have four really good options to play as a striker.

It is perhaps defence where Lennon may look. Lewis Stevenson continues to prove himself more than capable as a left wing-back for a team challenging in the upper echelons of the league but he could be improved upon. As Darren Mcgregor deals with injury issues another centre-back could be useful, although Milligan can play there. So far Killie have looked pretty flat going forward, especially when they move into the final third. That’s an issue which is currently being solved. Greg Stewart has been added with former player Aaron Tshibola on the verge of returning.

Tshibola could be the big signing with
