Nothing has been confirmed yet but it could be mid-October, when the jobber leagues are up and running. I haven't seen Craig Fowler or Joel Sked since mid-March but I understand they're both alive and well. They're alive, anyway.

Not fantastic, to be honest. Marky Munro played a handful of games over the first third of the season before succumbing to injury. He's quite a versatile player and can operate at full-back, the middle of the park and the right-hand side of midfield, and he can put himself about a bit, but I didn't really see anything from him to suggest he'll make it in SPFL, let alone St Johnstone (although I'm happy to be proven wrong).

Callum Moore was one of the few positives of a thoroughly mediocre season but, even then, he didn't particularly stand out or deliver an earth-shattering performance during his short spell at the club. We played him on the right-hand side of midfield, a position I don't necessarily played to his strengths, but his fitness and his tenacity saw him do well enough. He's a tidy passer of the ball and he's prepared to get stuck in but I think he'll need a bit more about him to make a go of it in the Championship.

Scott Booth released Nicky Devlin for "not being confident enough" - he subsequently went on to captain Ayr United, play in the English lower leagues and join Livingston in the Premiership. Robbie Duncan, who he preferred ahead of him, meanwhile... any ideas? Scott Booth was a terrible manager. What a laugh that all was.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here - are you saying Stenhousemuir made a mistake in releasing Salim Kouider-Aissa in 2014? I don't remember anyone making an issue of it at the time and I'd say the management made the right decision. He looked miles off it during his time at Ochilview and his failure to make a subsequent impact at Queen of the South and then Stirling Albion probably suggested he wasn't good enough for the SPFL. The player deserves enormous credit for the steps he's taken since then, dropping down to amateur level and then second-tier junior football before winning his move to Queen's Park last summer. I thought he was the best striker in the division last season and he looked a thousand times the player we had six years ago. I hope he's a big success at Livingston. I think we made a mistake releasing Nicky Devlin, which was proved immediately when he signed for Ayr United, but not in the case of Kouider-Aissa.

Fair play to Salim Kouider-Aissa on winning his move to Livingston. I thought he was tremendous last season and deserved a move to a higher level, but I didn't think he'd go all the way to the Premiership. I hope he's a big success there.

Sean Burns was with us for a couple of games in the latter half of last season and wasn't very good. We'd been struggling at left-back all season and I was pleased when we brought him in from Forfar Athletic but he didn't really make us any better. His performance in the 3-0 home defeat to Cove Rangers was poor and I wasn't surprised we let him go last month. I think his disappointing spell at Ochilview might have been something of an anomaly because he's been generally okay everywhere else.

My expectations have been suitably tempered.

We have signed Chris Kane from Edinburgh City. He's not a player who's ever really stuck out but going by Davie Irons' comments on the website, he's going to anchor the middle of the park and give the better players the insurance to get forward and attack.

Were the two strikers Craig Malcolm and Jamie Longworth?

He's signed for Stranraer. How disappointing.

Thank you!

Ah well, best of luck to him. I was sorry he wasn't ever given much of a chance in the first team. Who was the last "local boy done good" at Stenny - was it Gary Thom? It's also one less striker to worry about.

He's not listed on the Bo'ness United webpage, but Kieran Anderson (remember him!) is. I signed Tiwi Daramola for my Queen's Park team and he was with me for 12 years, rising through the divisions with me and winning two Scottish Cups and a League Cup. His stats were terrible but his goal return from the wing was astonishing!

It's still saying he's a Stenhousemuir FC player on our website! I was hoping to see him finally get a decent run in the team this year.

Kieran Millar has been released by Airdrieonians - Davie, bring him home!

Here's our squad so far for the 2020/21 campaign: Goalkeepers Graeme Smith Defenders Creag Little (signed from Queen's Park) Andy Munro Jonathan Tiffoney Midfielders Ryan Blair Thomas Halleran Strikers Botti Biabi Tiwi Daramola David Hopkirk Mark McGuigan Tommy Muir (signed from Annan Athletic) Greig Spence Ryan Watters That does seem like a lot of forwards but I expect Biabi and Hopkirk (and Daramola, if he's given a chance next year) to play out wide.

Aye, I fear for big Mark. He wasn't too hot last season and Davie Irons doesn't really seem to fancy him. He has 12 months remaining on his current deal so something will have to be worked out if he was to move on. Hope that won't be the case!

We've signed Creag Little. Is he good? What kind of player should we expect?

We're a much bigger, more ambitious team than Annan Athletic, I'm afraid. We've also signed Creag Little, a defender, who was at Queen's Park last term.

The first signing is Tommy Muir, a young striker from Annan Athletic. According to the report on the club website, he was Davie Irons' #1 target.

We are announcing two new signings this morning - who could they be?

I like Andy Munro and I admire his leadership and aggression but, as has been written a lot since he joined the club, he needs to stop believing he's Rio Ferdinand and just make sure the ball is as far away from our goal as possible. We've been caught out numerous times because he's over-complicated playing it out from the back - just give it short to a midfielder and get back into position.

Having a good goalkeeper is so important - who could forget the likes of Calum Reirdford, Jamie Barclay or Colin McCabe! - so having Buzz on the books for another two years is a fine piece of business. I'm not opposed to two-year contracts but Kieron Gibbon's was with us on a two-year deal and he was rubbish.

David Hopkirk has signed a new two-year deal with Stenhousemuir. He was largely good for us. Jonathan Tiffoney has agreed a new one-year contract with the club. He was alright last term.
