I thought he'd stay and form part of the first team for the year ahead but fair play to him. Josh Grigor has something about him and another year developing elsewhere might do him a good turn.

I think he can be a handy player from the bench in the coming season. As Chris says he has a real natural gift of finishing and being in the right areas in the box on the brief times I seen him last season. I would imagine he only commands around four Wham bars in wages as well. Where is Tapping going Midnight Express? Enough of your wishy, washy nonsense there are at least half a dozen people browsing this forum who care about Stenhousemuir and we want answers.

Francesc Fabregas Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 BJ Coll has joined the club from Forfar Athletic. I don't think he got much of a positive write-up from Forfar fans but who knows, he could be a useful player for the Warriors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver1 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Fair to say that Swift is building a Lowland League select. I for one am a little apprehensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaver1 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 This is ridiculous now. Understand we would sign their “best” players, but we are signing the entire squad of a middle of the road Lowland League team. If they were all up to playing at this level then they wouldn’t have been playing Lowland League. We seem to be putting a helluva lot of faith in a complete unknown. And what about our scouting system. Are we saying that all these BSC players were on the radar and identified as signing targets before Swift came along. I have the fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, it’s brave looks like 15 signed players now. Take it Stenny will add the max loans allowed from Hibs so prob near a complete squad ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goalkeeper Marshall has played 2 games in the last 2 years. This has the makings of being an absolute disaster. Would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when he was getting interviewed by the board regarding his signing targets and why nobody released so far is better than LL players. The loan players from Hibs will likely be youngsters. Can only be a matter of time before the BSC pie hut staff arrive!

Have an ice lolly and calm yourself down. We have signed FIVE players from BSC Glasgow and I would say only three of them are starters. There is absolutely nothing between the quality of this league and the top half dozen in the Lowland. He will have a better handle on what works at this level of football than me or you. I am genuinely amazed at the tears by the majority of our fans. I am excited to watch different players trying to prove themselves. Do we really want another season of the same old shite trickling down to us? Ryan Blair and the likes we have had those types season after season and it has taken us absolutely nowhere. I could understand the trepidation more if we had a proven model of success but we are consistently garbage signing players we have heard of from the leagues above and around us. Trust the process and come back with a worthwhile opinion after the first quarter of the games. You know, after we have seen the players and can actually judge them as opposed to dismissing their quality because they come from a league below. It's football snobbery that we really aren't good enough to be dishing out. For anyone to say just now it's going to be a disaster and feelings of that ilk I find a bit disrespectful to the new manager.

Manager must know what he is doing and will have explained his signing philosophy and plans in depth at his interview. They obviously feel he is the right candidate although we do not know how many and who were interviewed. As Neilly says we will know better after the first quarter. I think the worry comes from the fact that we are not signing the usual released dross that we think will do a job for us and seldom do. Just hope we are in the ground to enjoy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even going on the stats from Soccerbase (which doesn't chart the Lowland League) he's played all five of their Scottish Cup games in 2019/20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
