Our team for the season ahead (so far!):

GOALKEEPERS

  • Ryan Marshall (signed from BSC Glasgow)
  • Graeme Smith

DEFENDERS

  • BJ Coll (signed from Forfar Athletic)
  • Adam Corbett
  • Ross Lyon (signed from BSC Glasgow)
  • Jamie Mills (signed from BSC Glasgow)
  • Jordan Tapping (signed from East Stirlingshire)

MIDFIELDERS

  • Michael Anderson (signed from BSC Glasgow)
  • Adam Brown (signed from Alloa Athletic)
  • Ross Forbes (signed from Dumbarton)
  • Declan Hughes (signed from BSC Glasgow)

  • David Hopkirk
  • Thomas Orr (signed from Stranraer)

I think we must be close to finishing our business. More defensive cover, some wide players and another forward option and we're about done.

I wonder when we'll hear about Paul Brown and Callum Erskine, or if we're bringing in anyone on loan from Hibernian.

Wedderburn was really good when he played for Cowden seems like a lifetime ago. He was never fast but didn’t have to be.

Wedderburn was good for us when he played at centre back.

Was really poor in midfield. Far too slow.

Yep we do seem to need another central defender. Any news on Crichton?

None of the fullbacks seem to have had good reviews. Most of the others, if they don’t get universal plaudits, they get some good reviews

Wonder what formation we will start out using?

Got to assume Buzz won't be fit if Erskine has been offered terms along with the signing of Ryan Marshall

Of course, Smith won't be back until September (or maybe before) (or maybe after).

Crichton as captain? Sounds like yer man that had C Tapping coming to City this year might be on to something....... Delighted if true!

Yeah it does seem likely considering Wedderburn and Hughes have been signed. Naysmith would have had Tappy at QOTS as well would be sad to see him go but it can't dampen what is probably the most exciting time to be a Warrior's fan in as long as I can remember.

Crighton, Forbes and Thomson are really decent names for a diddy club like ourselves complimented with the other guys who have arrived.

an absolute rock when he played for Montrose

 

er, no he wasn't. a centre half in one of our worst ever teams under Steven Tweed. Tweed gave up on him and released him at the end of the 09/10 season- rightly so.

Crighton is a really nice guy but his football career has been really chequered.

Weederburn has more than enough talent to handle himself at this level, as does Forbes. Both with different strengths but with the same weekness in lack for pace.  They’ll probably work in a 5 man midfield, especially if it’s 4-2-3-1.  It is however vital however at least 2 and possibly all 3 of the the rest are high energy cover every blade  types.

Oh really?? Apologies then Ivo and I stand corrected. Who played alongside Dillon in your promotion side then?

That would have been Matty Allan.

As for Sean Crighton, I'm pleased to see him join the club. We've missed having an aggressive, no-nonsense centre-back since Andy Munro left the club in January and Crighton's experience and know-how will be the bedrock on which our team will be built on going forward. I hope he can make a positive impact for Stenhousemuir.

Again, I'm not sure why bringing in Crighton would mean Callum Tapping is leaving the club, but crack on!

On another point, I see some people have pegged us as favourites for promotion too - I'm not sure if this is because we've brought in half-decent players or because we've signed up so many of them in a short space of time relative to everyone else. I think it might be a bit of both. I'm still cautious, but Crighton is a step in the correct direction.
