    Buchs or Thomson is already a decent debate for who leads the line. Assuming Goody does keep with that 4-2-3-1. No doubt he’ll be mixing and matching in friendlies & cup to get a better gauge.

    As it stands, both coming off fairly uninspiring spells after banging them in a few years back - hopefully rekindle that this season. However, both better options than what we had last year as our out and out striker so more than happy.

    I forgot about Buchs when putting that team down! Even better!

    I think we are in a good position as it stands, if we had a game today and could field the below side, I would have zero issues with it!

    Parry

    Robertson Taggart Graham Dick

    Flanny Hetherington

    Cawley Trouten Stirling

    Thomson

     

    Christ if we started the first league game with that team i would be happy!

    Was that the game big Geoff scored 4? I was hopeful after preseason, not going to lie. But didn't take long to realise we had changed from a possession to a hoofball team with a bunch of jobbers on their way down through the leagues.

    Wonder what'll happen when this squad gets overhauled. Barring Stevie and Taggs we're an old team.

    I was too, but then had a reality check when I realised Eddie Fearns had scored and been MOM in like 3 of the pre-season games, so the levels we were playing against were maybe not great!

    Always hard at this level to successfully transition a new squad, you need to get lucky, or like we did bring in a manager (Hartley) with good contacts and barring that season we have seen nothing but relative success since.

    "Should we succeed in these signings, I believe we will have a very entertaining and capable squad of footballers to allow Alloa to compete very well in the 2nd tier in Scottish football. I believe we could surprise a number of people with our performances and results in the season ahead."

    I wonder who we missed out on because that team never surprised anyone.

    The player I hated the most from that time was Connor McManus. Don't think I've seen a lazier player on the park than him. Every week I'd see him lazily jog around never breaking a sweat. At that time I was fit and  quick and honestly questioned why I wasn't a Celtic youth player.

    It just all went so wrong it was crazy, we were destroying teams in pre-season as well, did we not hammer Cove 7-0?

    Big Jack came in though, so that was a positive.

    Am sure thats one that will be in the frame Darren Young at EF hasn't done enough for me in his time there . Dougie Imrie . Darren odea . or could you intise Derek Adams back up the road .

    Darren O'Dea has signed for East Kilbride and total tit into the bargain! Dougie Imrie....not sure, seems like a wee ned, but might make a good manager.  Neil McCann....?

    Not so much throwing money at it but having lost Baird, Easton and Reilly in one weekend we clearly had wages freed up and a need for some quality creative player (s) take it he’s a decent player?

    Kirky is a fantastic player, for me better in a 3 playing behind the striker, or as a 2nd striker.  Can score all types of goals and on his day will take some stopping in league one.

    Kirkpatrick will be a very good signing particularly with Easton and Reilly disappearing. As for Sparky, he somewhat split opinion with us, I was never a big fan particularly in our second half of the season but he's played at a good level before so there's definitely a player there. For whatever reason he went from a left back to a central midfielder with us, so no idea where he'll end up playing at you. 

    Docherty was always a far better central midfielder than left back when he was with us, I believe it was the same when he was at Alloa.

    I would agree, always felt he got caught out quite a bit at left back, but a really good player both on the pitch and great for the dressing room.
