Any word of dayle robertson resigning? Still think he's a big talent who could do a job at this level. Would be good to see him signed alongside hester and mcwalter to show local talent is still noticed despite the u20s folding last season

4 pre season friendlies in 8 days is pretty tough going!

Johnny lindsay didnt wear a hairband!

I see lowden has signed on, wtf is that all about? Jonhny lindsay probably deserved a new contract over him!

Club shop needs to be more accessible and more fan days especially to encourage youngsters would be a good start. At the least the board should aim to be the best club in angus but due to a lack of ambition they dont seem to be bothered that we're way behind forfar and brechin

I remember watching a video like this a couple of years back that made leighton mcintosh look class...... look how he turned out! Maybe fit in at left mid unless lumsden plans to keep linn up front

No way i'd sign doris on current fitness, he's played about a dozen games in the 2 years since he left!

Happy with that signing

Speaking of wasting wages.....

Of course it is but i think they should at least stand by a player until they can prove their fitness. Crawford kerr and mcmanus have all been good players i very much doubt we would have released if they werent injured

Astonished lowden has been offered a new deal! Also disappointed with crawfords release, no doubt another ur injured so we dont care situation. Looking forward to some new signings and a new home kit! Would like to see us take a chance on another couple of junior players!

Sounds pretty bad, board really dont give a f**k if u get injured. Kerr mcmanus and probably crawford of recent times. When i was on trial a dozen years or so i was told they were interested in signing me but to "go and get me knee fixed first".... Great support for a 17 year old!Ps Shagger could have at least spelt sheerin right!

Did they say "see u next week" then phone him the next day informing him of his release?

I read somewhere he's out for the season but its not as bad as 1st feared. I remember he took a bit of convincing last year to sign on but i hope he stays.

Players u would keep? For me, crawford, nicoll, whatley shagger and linn. On the maybe list, little, hunter, stewart. Edit: probably like to see mcwalter get a good run so add him

Heard they were after linn too

At the start of the season i would have been satisfied with a playoff spot, however 1 win in 14 is unacceptable and we r heading into the playoffs with absolutely no chance

What the hell is going on at the club? I dont think iv ever witnessed a team crash and burn, bottle it... or whatever u want to call it quite as big as this! Our form since the end of december must be the worst in the country! Apart from the occasional glimmers of togetherness (comeback v elgin & 3rd goal v clyde) the team r a shadow of their 1st half season selves. Injuries, signings and the montrose game have all been potential turning points in the season but surely there is something else seriously gone wrong in the board or dressing room???

In a word..... no. Will probably do a job for u lot tho. Left us to get full time football!LOL

Probably just back for the festive period. Unlikely to see him back in an arbroath shirt but good to hear him doing well

Think everyones contract is until the end of the season, possibly with the exception of linn? Great credit has to go to sheerin for these 2 junior finds, possibly 2 of his best signings and never played under him!

At best a solid cb. Distribution and footballing ability is very poor. Usually played at cb with the occasional game at rb. Think he just got fed up sitting on the bench with us.

Tricky one, i agree however i thought little was our best player on saturday

Whats everyones opinion of the new signings so far? I personally think great credit has to go to sheerin (and possibly who may have been his scout) for the 2 junior signings of whatley and murray, they shown already there more than capable of stepping up. Crawford has been a good solid signing with stewart and hunter in the middle of the park looking good too. Yet to be convinced about johnstone and mcbride. Buchan hasnt impressed me and i havent seen jack smith or lowdon yet. Both loan signings look good too.

Not yet but i cant see it lasting the season :-(
