Francesc Fabregas Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Here's how the team is shaping up for the new season: Goalkeepers Graeme Smith Defenders Creag Little (signed from Queen's Park) Andy Munro Jonathan Tiffoney Midfielders Ryan Blair Thomas Halleran Chris Kane (signed from Edinburgh City) Callum Tapping (signed from Forfar Athletic) Forwards Botti Biabi David Hopkirk Mark McGuigan Tommy Muir (signed from Annan Athletic) Greig Spence Ryan Watters Another defender and two or three more strikers and we should be good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 In fairness Hopkirk plays midfield, McGuigan will be away and Watters won't get a sniff so we are essentially rolling with three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see us trying out a 4-3-3 next season. Chris Kane sitting in front of the defence, Callum Tapping and Ryan Blair doing things further forward, Botti Biabi and David Hopkirk wide forwards and Greig Spence, Tommy Muir and Mark McGuigan battling it out for the number 9 position! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BinoBalls Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Stenhousemuir have a pretty tasty squad for the season ahead. Makes a difference to last season when noises were made about having money to spend and yet it all looked a bit Meh come August. You’ve got to expect Queen’s Park will have the best players but I think both Stenhousemuir and, if I can be objective, Stirling Albion are assembling a better quality of player than last season and will hopefully will be able to challenge at the top end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 For a few years we fell into the trap of waiting for a few quality players who ultimately got a better off elsewhere. As a result, we started the season with a fairly poor squad and improved as we made additions later on. The players we have signed up are not exactly world beaters, but all solid League 2 players which is important as a shortened season gives less chance to rejig later on. Making the playoffs would be great but in this odd season, I'd take being nowhere near relegation as it felt rather nervy at points last season. I suspect some of the teams will be awful and we'll be fine almost by default. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 It looks like the club will be livestreaming its matches next season. Not sure of whether it applies to all fixtures or just our games at Ochilview or pricing just yet, but it could be brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver1 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I think it is just our home games; would require the competition to install the technology at their own patch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vimto90 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Superb effort to those involved in doing it. Can hopefully be something going forward for those further afield or on holiday etc that can't make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan is to live stream to our fans outwith the UK once the ban on streaming in the UK has been put back on.

Hard Graft Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Looking forward to the live streaming. Will we be having multiple camera angles, Francesc Fabregas in the Observation Galley giving pre match, half time and full time analysis with maybe a few chosen fans and ex players adding their tuppence-worth. Could be in the running for a Bafta. On a more serious note surely the season ticket holders could be socially distanced in the stand if we and other small clubs could get permission from the authorities. Clubs would have a record of the season ticket holder attending on their records for tracing purposes should there be a case of covid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true fan Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 VPN??? I think watching a VPL in stenny Asda for 5 minutes will be better than spending a year watching Scottish second division football on a smart phone or iPad. Surely if covid still around we can ban away fans and space out very very very widely in stand, terrace and behind other goals. Attend games in person but be as widely spaced as cattle ranchers living in Wyoming. If we have 2 years between real supporters at the game matches goodness knows what will come out of this -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
