So what are our forward options?  Hilson gone, Adarkwa apparently gone (according to the in the knows on here), Shanks gone, Komolafe hopefully melted down for glue, Linn released back into the wild.

So just McIntosh right now?

This would be a big problem in July but not in May. The season isn't even fully over yet and contracts run until the end of May so even some potentially done deals may not be announced yet. 

Bit early for doom and gloom to be kicking in!

This is still this season's leftover doom and gloom.  I'll move smoothly and seamlessly into next season's doom and gloom about mid June!

Actually disappointed to see Dale leave. Been a DC player over a number of years. Not a prolific striker but gave 110% effort when on the pitch. Great tenacity and determination. Attributes the club will miss. Wish him well for the rest of his career. 

Hopefully Steele can become the next JT. A CH becoming a RB halfway through a season, still young (Shanks, Paterson???), 2 levels up. Gamble.

Loved Hilson’s work rate but his goal record has been absolutely abysmal. 

Not worried about a turnover, we’ve retained our core and the guys moving on , not one of them has warranted a new deal. Possibly Banks 

Absolutely this 100 percent. 
 

Good luck to Hilson. I like him because of his non stop effort, rarely scores but got a few big ones at crucial times last year good luck to him.

He’s played 75 games in the last 2 seasons. 1 full season in League 1 and 1 full season in League 2 and by all accounts it sounds like he’s been very good.
 

Not similar to Paterson who had never played at any level aside from Bo’ness or Shanks who had one season in the Highland League, which Brechin have shown is absolutely jobbies and glorified junior teams for the most part.

Away from the ins and outs of the squad. Has anyone heard of the AFC stance on this conference League proposal? Would hope the club would be against it and the nonsense it would involve most Scottish clubs in. Would be good to see some SPFL club voices against it and not just Highland/Lowland league clubs and below.

Sure we previously went against this when it came up 3/4/5/6 years ago it whenever it was and would absolutely guess that were rightfully against it

All the loans away back as well. 
 

Only one Id have wanted to keep was Banks. Adarkwa was clearly a decent player but too injury prone. Dylan looked a talent but just too much going on in his personal life by the sounds of it

Actually looking forward to this fresh start. Hopefully we populate the squad with real life football players and not made up people from all corners of the globe this time. Have a good core of guys here and they just need supplemented.

Yeah I’m not sure wether to be excited or terrified. Need probably what? 6-7 new players.

Nah definitely back on the right track with recent business for me and fully expect more of the same.

Definitely. Would have kept hetherington and banks too but not too bothered about the others apart from linn but that’s different and i think he’s made the right decision. Good few new faces plus loans to come in, might need to look my boots out for the brechin friendly in 4 weeks time!
