We really have pushed the boat out in the past few weeks, strengthening midfield and up front. That's great. However, I still worry that the defence will ship goals. I know there are issues there with the number of legacy players but JBA may still want to shake things up in that department.

I think you've hit the nail on the head.

From JBA's interview he expects to bring in one or two more. Time will tell. He's certainly being backed and seemingly exciting players being acquired. Great to see some pace being injected into our previously pedestrian squad.

Tiickets for Stenhousemuir can be bought from their website, although there's a link from ours. A bit confusing though as we can't buy seated tickets in the Norway Stand. Standing only I'm afraid. Hope you're not vertically challenged like me.

Another winger incoming?

That's my understanding too. He can play RB and central defence in a back 3, but primarily thats not why he was signed.

As far as defenders go, we now have 8 on the books, Of those 4 are out and out full/wing backs. Of the remaining 4, 2 (McGinn and McGhee) can play in central defence as part of back 3. If we go to 2 at the back then that leaves us with only 2 out and out central defenders, Balmer and Gordon. A tad tight methinks. Is Balmer a first choice pick?

Another central defender now please. We're getting spoilt. Happy with our new left sided signing. One more piece in the jigsaw.

I can't comment on Sule, but Apstam can't play on his own up front. When we do have to take route one, as we will have to on occasion, or want to convert set pieces we'll struggle as it stands. Corner kicks too? Our defence isn't the biggest either and there's no Dan Casey now to cause havoc at corners. Also useful to have a big target man if opponents defend deeply and we have rely on high balls into their box. As Texan says, it good to be able to deploy different attacking options.

We seem to be bringing in a bit of pace, which has been a lomg standing failing of ours. How many wingers do we have now? Just, Maswhanise, Ross and Nicholson?

A good signing and things are shaping up nicely. All hail Elijah. We still need some height and muscle up front though. That and a left back and hulking central defender and we're sorted.

I also emailed the club a month or two back about season ticket renewal and am still waiting on a response.

I'd ring the club for advice. However. I assume that when the turnstile operator scans your card they'll allow both you and your companion to enter.

Very sad news indeed.

Don't forget Willie McVie, Stewart McLaren and Vic Davidson.

Can he work miracles?

I think the game will seem a bit like a slog or grind but we'll triumph in the end. Where I think we'll struggle is if Clyde get physical. We have the better players yes, but are on the lightweight side.

A much needed reinforcement before Saturday. All we need now is a physical target man to play with him or Ap Stam.

Good post Iain. Like you, I do wonder what the impact of the new proposal on membership numbers will be, when cancellations are applied.

Who scored our goals apart from Olly White?

A bit of an unkown quantity at this level. We certainly need striking reinforcements before next Saturday. Got to be the right ones of course.

It would be interesting if someone who us going to the game could give us a brief summary of how our young lads perform. Some of us know their names but that's all and others don't know them at all. The club doesn't provide us with much info on the development squad these days.

Pretty much my view, although I do love the colours, just not for us. I'm struggling to find our connection with Argentinian blue? Far more appropriate to the likes of Scunthorpe United, I would have thought. Have we borrowed one of their designs? If we're going to go down the route of an historical emblem again in future, I'll make a strong case for pit winding gear. That would be iconic.

I agree in theory about a bidding war, but I'm not sure how that would work, if a release figure has been built into his contract. Say, for example, a figure of £4.5m was agreed. We then receive 2 bids of £4.5 and £5.5 m. Young Lennon and his dad prefer the £4.5 one as the wages on offer are higher. What then?

Yes, he left a few weeks ago. Maybe an opportunity for a reset in fan relations.
