Time for the not retained list to be announced for quality players I hope would be a starters....

How we all feel this seasons been...!!! Can't wait to see everyone wetting themselves of who's retain or released after this season... Not good enough, expecting the release list to be as long as a shopping list.

I have a feeling with the suitation arisen Edinburgh City or FC Edinburgh whatever they are called these days and their points deducted and relegation from Scottish league one would they save Stranrear, Clyde, Bonnyrigg and give Ek promotion which would throw in that scenario given the buckie thistle debate of not having bronze status you wouldn't bet on it but it's just been one those seasons where they save everyone given their suitation and their bleak future giving kids a game in league one.

I would also offer players we see worth keeping on but it be a few like beachcomber said greig did offer these players to resign last season and we are where we are in terms that we need new players in with the ones that are staying on or confirmed by the football club. Either if they are expensive or not they need be successful, I want to remind everyone we got beat by Dunbar in the cup that highlight of this season has never escaped me, continued to back a lost cause up until February why we are finishing the season on a low and missed the play offs even in League 2!! Christ we were challenging in league 1 for promotion play offs a few seasons ago and beating the kirkcaldy mob home and away under Young... Expensive or not my argument we need a winning team again or it's trap door.

Players on the park now show the effort they made under greig, we've had injuries but that shouldn't be excuse and players on the bench hasn't been strong either all season and the 9 games was just a blimp. We really need trust dick in summer clear these guys out that hasn't got it and be back on the dick train again, but I have been wanting the summer come quick and thank goodness next Saturday is last game of season but I'm on summer mode already feel the games left like today have nothing in it for the club but after a 9 game run we've went backwards on the park and I wouldn't loose any sleep over that's my view.

We definitely need summer come quick and board to back the manager get new players in today defeat shows we have struggled all season not just missing the play offs. Good thing we go into next season under a manger players would want come play for but we are going through the motion not just missing the play offs.

Good riddance we changed our manager and stayed up a few weeks ago and missing out on the play offs, just goes to show I will be wanting summer come now and next Saturday is last game of the season. Congratulations to Clyde who won today, but as for our players they aren't good enough and shows why we've been like this all season and dick will know who's good enough to stay and who's going.

Gaston would be shout if Fleming is to retire at end of this current season or stay on and we probably in need of a goalie as Beveridge not good enough and Rollo a young keeper from the U20s both are mostly a back up keeper but I would keep Rollo than Beveridge but yeah feels like Gaston who done well last season being dropped by McIntyre and given we are wanting Rab in as gk coach that maybe worth a shout. Thanks litchie didn't know he was allowed to leave I did know he was there but given we recruited Lyon onloan from other dick so called clubs we may have to look at other clubs for players. But on whole interesting summer given we have failed to get a play off place again this summer.

Though I like to add that the railway will be open to the public in 41 days from now so next season or in the future we get paired with Dunfermline, Edinburgh teams (Spartans and meadowBank included) or raith will be easy destination to get to and from Leven/Cameron Briggs or for our opposition teams coming, but we will have railway derby with raith if we get them again!! But the supporters bus they will be big numbers to the other teams we have to travel to ie Elgin, Peterhead etc Next season we can't wait on train journeys following east fife....

1320 litchie did Luke Donnelly not join you guys then we to to Alloa I'll take him if he's not signing for Alloa. There's probably guys that have we to other clubs from arbroath as well.

We signed the majority of squad on from last season and it is clear we need new players in now. I have feeling give the age trouten and Fleming they may retire in summer. Murdoch, walls and newton -keep Easton, rollo - maybe Beveridge and hambrook - no for me If we keep Murray and Ramsay - loan move to lowland or east of Scotland would benefit them a season. The rest - no. Loan players will go back to hibs and loaned out higher up or fight to be on the bench at their parent club but if I was keeping it be blaney and Lyon, Hamilton not seen enough.

Clyde 1-1 East Fife - with the visitors recent form without fash is evident we are toothless up top and with Clyde still fighting away I can only predict a draw is best with nothing to play for and recent loses back to back recently. Also it be a chance to see what the other players have to save their ef Carrers probably. Dumbarton 2-1 Elgin City - going for home win given Elgin injury situation and picking up form for the play offs. Forfar Athletic 0-0 Stranraer - has a draw written on it. Stenhousemuir 2-1 Bonnyrigg Rose - stenny nicking a win at home. Spartans 1-1 Peterhead - another draw for both teams in the play offs.

McKenna will do well with Falkirk back in championship so no surprise there. Steele been seen at a couple games weeks before there with his son at Bayview but has managed to get back into arbroath team so was keen on both but looks like their already signed up with yous. Hammy would of solve our left back that we have failed to replace since we had naysmith/penrice and it's been our major problem that and centre back since our decline so gutted he's turn down us. Would definitely have Thomas O'Brien as well but I'm not so sure we will pay for players and last time we paid for a player was indeed Ryan Wallace from yourselfs. Jacobs I dunno what about slater, McIntosh, Gaston, Murray or Lyon they signed up? The rest of your players no can't see us sign English, irish or German players you have there.

We've lost two games recently and have nothing to play for, definitely miss not having fash!

Fleming and trouten may retire at end of season they are getting to that age. I rather sign newton, walls, murdoch and maybe Easton at a push and wouldn't loose sleep on the rest. Build the team round having Healy and fash in the team hopefully get a player experience at CB in to partner easton, a left back and goalies and midfielders and two strikers to challenge fash when he is missing like these weeks neither shepherd or shiavone seems to have that about them and we have missed fash lately.
