He has been pish. A decent finish for his first goal today doesn’t change that. He’s offered very little. I should add that every signing made by Wilson the last couple of months have offered very little, with the possible exception of Petkov.

More than half the last ten years out the bottom Division?! This is the first time City have been in this league for 20 years. Any reference to us being deadwood is nonsensical.

Do you not think it’s a reasonable ask? Pretty sure any other Angus club would be of the same opinion.

Why are people still rising to citydiehard? He’s an absolute spanner who clearly isn’t a genuine supporter.

If you were an Annan fan making a 7 hour round trip would you still have that view?

Alex Petkov, thoughts guys? According to a local paper he's signing for Brechin.

We more or less got rid of our entire squad during the summer and it’s not exactly served us well.

Andy Jackson, Jimmy Scott and Paddy O’Neil are contracted for next season. All 3 I’m sure are from the central belt so I’d be surprised if they were still here next season should we be in the Highland League. Vast majority of our players are from central belt and wouldn’t expect any to stick around. Think Reekie, Inglis and Pongo are most local in Dundee.

Difference being that he will have been on good money to do this.

We wouldn’t cease to exist if we were in the highland league, but without major investment we would struggle to challenge at the right end of the table. We’d have to move our training further north than Stirling and as a result we would no longer be able to attract players from the central belt. We’d then be competing for players around Dundee/Aberdeen area with other highland league teams who have more money. It was painful viewing yesterday. It was a must win game yet we found ourselves 4-1 down after an hour. Absolutely pathetic. I’ve said in previous weeks that there are far too many players that are carrying too much weight and are nowhere near fit enough..why is this not being addressed by the Manager! I look at the bench yesterday and we should have started the vast majority of them! Again I said before that McMinn should have been dropped and he cost us the first goal yesterday by fumbling a routine ball. Why the f**k have we signed Laverty and McCabe to sit on the bench?! Why the f**k is McCord, our most talented player not starting in our biggest game of the season? Don’t give me pish about selection for the conditions... Over and out

Was reported when Sinclair was recalled that we’ve now got a loan to use. Hopefully on a defender...

Absolutely no doubt we need to win this otherwise it’s curtains in terms of avoiding 10th . I’ll be there as almost a home game for me.

You kidding? Jacko has always been the ‘chunky’ type but he has definitely come back bigger than what he left. He was literally jiggling whenever he was running. As I said, I understand he’s been out injured but for me he needs to lose at least a stone. Jacko is a class player so we need him in peak condition if we are to get out of this mess.

I do feel we have the quality in the team, however whether we’ll run out of games remains to be seen. We absolutely have to win at Albion on Saturday, that’s for sure. What concerns me is the level of fitness of our players. Yes Jacko and Boomer have just come back from injury but they are both looking at least a stone overweight with several others looking as if they could lose a bit also. Barring a few excellent saves and that goal against Stirling, I’m afraid Lewis a McMinn has cost us numerous goals and precious points in recent weeks and needs dropped

Think we should maybe try our club reporter at centre half!!

Err why?

Worrying given I was driving.

I was behind the opposite goal and didn’t look remotely near out. The footage appears to back that up.

What did the linesman get wrong?

We have no game next weekend so he has a fortnight.

One of his first games in charge of Brechin we beat Stenny 7-2 at the Glebe. Some of the football we played under him at the start was outstanding. Think we went about 17 games unbeaten under him at that point but he had some excellent attacking players in Bobby Barr, Alan Trouten, Robert Thomson, Andy Jackson. We did have our struggles under him too though and we weren’t far off relegation playoffs one season.

Is this a thing? I don't live in Brechin any longer so I tend to drive to games and don't tend to be in the City Club following the game. However I'm up visiting family at the moment so decided to have a few drinks after the game yesterday and I saw McMinn and Watt as well as Wilson who was in to draw the raffle. Given we have two areas of hospitality I wouldn't be necessarily expecting them to come into the bar as well. Does this happen at other clubs? It's not the players that need to thank the supporters for their donations, it's the Management Committee and those that I spoke to yesterday were truly humbled and thankful for the response that they've had to the fighting fund. Having read your previous posts I'm not surprised in the slightest that you've managed to find a negative given there weren't many on the field yesterday.

Mark said in his post match interview that Dougie and Reekie are both suspended.

Well done to everyone contributing to this - not how we want to do this but needs must. Tough time of year for this kind of thing but I will certainly put in what I can to help also. Every little helps.

Speak to someone directly that was there or even better, a Committee Member. The meeting was widely advertised for weeks so if anyone really wanted to be there and find out what was discussed then they could have.
