Do we have the players and Manager to achieve the aim of promotion…..I’m not convinced, but do I think for 1 minute there are 9 squads better than ours in the league? I definitely don’t, but I am concerned.

Not trying to be cheeky but I was actually referring to WI-FI boosters which are both inexpensive and efficient in my experience.
Not taking the piss here, seriously, but is there any you would recommend?? Actually looking for one for the house to boost to the garage

Agree with WattersIsGod, and quite frankly the players probably don't care about boards as long as they are getting paid. Players go to clubs because of the Manager and plans he has for him, the contract being right and sometimes other players in the dressing room that they know. Outside factors like travel comes into it and depending on the player and the club, clubs might be able to attract players because it's a step up in level or maybe the move just excites them. I've never once spoke to a player that has given any consideration to the Boardroom and behind the scenes going on when considering a move.

New addition at Stirling

Worth a punt when you look at his record at that level. Seeing his photo on Twitter, he was the number 14 who played yesterday. Good luck to him, some times these obscure signings work, some times they don't but it's always worth the punt in my opinion.

I try and not read to much into Pre-Season games, I’ve been carried away before only to be let down and vice versa, but I did leave The Recs a wee bit concerned last night.
The squad is light weight as you said, especially up front. Not sure who number 14 was…..was he a Trialist or was that Ross Davidson playing further forward and then dropping back when the young lad came on? I don’t know, but it was clear we are 1 or 2 short there. Carrack & Thomson have had their injury problems over the years so we can’t have an over reliance on those 2.
I genuinely don’t know what our budget is, I would hazard a guess that it’s in line with some clubs and more than others, but I was expecting an exciting playmaker to have been brought in, a Trouten or an Ally Love, dare I say it, a Craig Bryson from a higher league….the fact we haven’t showed last night. Yes the Alloa keepers had to look lively a couple of times, Thomson also hit the post, but really we missed that spark and I have a real fear that this cutting edge is going to haunt us.
I think Wee Wasp is right, I think we were neat and tidy and on top for long spells of the game but, as has been said, we lacked that cutting edge. Leitch worked hard and tried, but can’t be expected to do it all. Plus when the fouls happen or it just doesn’t happen for him, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else.
Positives, and there were positives. I thought the 3 new signings down the left (Clark, Denholm & Thomson) linked up well and showed good understanding. Clark isn’t a player that I know, despite being at Annan, but very early signs suggest he looks a player. It’ll be interesting to see how that trio builds. Thought Carrick again looked more effective through the middle and had the bit between his teeth and linked up well with Thomson and Leitch.
As I said, I never know where we stand during pre-season, but last night left me a bit concerned, then you leave The Recs and are confronted by “ultras” wanting a fight, Primary School children throwing insults and abuse at you as you walk to your car, before scarpering from the police…..makes me wonder why I bother!

DY had a lot of faults and I still don't think it was a mistake to get rid of him - but we had a lot of relative success with him because of our continuation within the squad and the fact the dressing room was really good, the players all seemed to like each other.
I know I’m going off topic here, but just out of interest, what faults did DY have during his time at you?? When he was sacked, and later on when he became Stirling manager, I generally got the impression that EF fans were saddened to see him go and put the poor start to last season down to injuries and players doing u-turns on promises they had made to him.
Have to be honest and say alarm bells are starting to ring about how good an appointment he will be for us, he really needs to hit the ground running after a disastrous half season last year (with a couple of ineffective or duff signings thrown into the mix) and an uninspiring pre-season so far.

What makes you rule out the possibility?
At this stage there's no team you could point at and say they'll be cast adrift the way Cowden were last season.
Absolutely and I don’t think that will happen this season and I also believe it will be nip tuck throughout the league and could be one of the most competitive that we have seen, but for as much as you can’t see that at this stage, also at this stage I struggle to see how 9 teams, including Albion Rovers and Elgin, have retained and recruited better than we have. I don’t think they have.

Ah, thanks teekasule, I obviously didn’t know that mate.

Absolute heads gone and attention seeking to even suggest that Stirling will finish bottom this season.

when the club I formerly bothered with signed him Queen of the South fans said he was a good backup
He played once for City* at the end of the season at Forthbank and had a bit of a 'mare but made one or two good saves despite that.
Good luck to the lad anyway
*A proper name for a football club
Oh was that him, yip, he certainly didn't look too hot that day, however as part of the Keepers Union, I have say that the City Defence looked extremely poor and disjoined in general and possibly hung him out to dry at times. Going on that 1 appearance, I'm surprised that Albion Rovers have chosen him above Binnie.

Alright lads, was Mason Hancock on loan at you guys?He’s signing for us I believe, what like is he?
He was a classic act during his few months with us, a rolls Royce at Left Back. Too good for League 2 and sadly he joined a side that was pretty much in free fall, but take nothing away from him. Will be interesting to see how he gets on higher up, certainly deserves the chance.
