As far as I'm aware this is how the squad is shaping up so far this pre season, Alex Mitchell, Peter Watson, Jordan Lowdon, Steven Swinglehurst, Matty Douglas, Cameron Clark, Tyler Fulton, Nathan Flanagan, Mark Docherty, Owen Moxon, Iain Anderson, Harry Emerson, Russell Currie,

Some excellent points particularly regarding the introduction of the ex-junior teams into the league pyramid. They will be breathing down our necks soon enough not to mention those from the Highland League. It's only a matter of time before teams like Kelty Hearts and East Kilbride - who seem to be well financed - are promoted. If the last year at Annan has proved anything it's that we cant compete financially with those around us at the moment. We lost some important players in the summer and unfortunately those who replaced them haven't really clicked at all. The same story seems to apply at those around us like Queens and Stranraer. I think over the next decade teams in this area will find ourselves playing at much lower levels.

Annan were absolutely bloody awful today. Deserved all we got from a far steadier Stenny. Murphy needs to pull the nose up soon or we're going to be in that dogfight. The last 3 home games we've been embarrassed every time.

Alex Mitchell has signed again.

Alcohol is usually required to dissect the alleged game of football that we've just witnessed. That we are still in a playoff spot is astounding. Our defence at times seems to struggle. We lost Mitchell in the summer and Pete Watson not long after. The partnership they formed with Swinglehurst at the end of last season was the best I've seen us defend in years. We need at least one more striker to help Nade and Muir and hopefully Flanagan can provide the creativity and boost our chances of securing 4th.

Jordan Holt signs for Annan from Workington.

Kyle Wilkie signs for Annan.

Jordan Holt was reported in the news and star a few days ago. Hopefully just finalising paperwork.

Annan have signed Euan Griffiths(mf) James Ballantyne(lb) and Lyle Avci(gk) this week.

Young Russell Currie has signed for a year. Hopefully get a few of the trialists confirmed early this week too.

Youngster Russell Currie signs on for a year at Annan.

Aye we had him on loan for a few months. Mostly made sub appearances I think but seemed a decent player.
