Francesc Fabregas Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Callum Yeats is returning to the club for a season-long loan from Queen's Park: This is a tremendous piece of business - Yeats is a smashing player with a lot of ability and a brilliant attitude and he'll be the final piece of our back four. I'm very excited for the season ahead. I think we could have a successful campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 This is more quality work. When you look at what's kicking about for potential left backs at this level I don't think we are going to get any better than the wee man. I don't think he's had a bad game really in his two spells. We have done some good work but more importantly it's good work done early. I can't remember a season where we will have been as prepared so well in advance as much as this one. We probably only need to add a right winger and our work is done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Aye, we can't be too far away. I think we need another defender in (someone who can play at left-back if needed) and a right-sided attacker but that's a good squad of players going into the new season. We look a lot better prepared than we were 12 months ago, that's for sure. I don't want to get carried away, and it is still early days, but when you compare our business to the rest of the division, we look in good shape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I think at this point we have to accept the one or two others we bring in will be lower quality squad fillers. I was probably a bit harsh in Niyah Joseph, but it seemed a bit of a waste of a left/central attacking midfielder as O'Reilly is clearly the number one on the left and we have more central players than we know what to do with. Other team wise, I think Stirling have the money to make 2 or 3 excellent signings and will be right up there. Annan will regress slightly and Forfar will be about the same. Reckon the league will be won with 65 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Blackwell Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Cover at left full back is the obvious gap.And maybe a Ross Forbes replacement? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimto90 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Daniel Higgins is CB/LB cover & we have Corbett who can cover CB n Miller who can cover RB so we may roll with what we have at back if we are thin on budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my thinking as well. We can't just go for player for player to cover as like last year you are going to end up with a squad of 22 minimum off the bat. I don't know if Higgins can cover left back but Miller is adaptable enough to cover both full back positions, Higgins and Corbett can cover centre back if required. These are the sacrifices we need to make if we want a higher quality squad with less bodies, the bodies we do have are going to have to adapt in different positions if required. Last season at left back is a prime example - we had Mills and Coll vying for the one slot pre-season. We now have a higher quality player and will have to adapt if that player is out. Ross Lyon was offered a deal though so maybe there is scope for another defensive player on a low wage but I wouldn't be overly fussed. I think we are lucky to have players in the squad who can play more than one position with relative ease. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fashioned Stramash Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Fantastic signing and more great work done by the club to get Yeats back. It's impressive how much they've got done and it's not even pre-season. Interested to know how others think this team will line-up and how we'll set-up in centre mid. Bryson beside Anderson? 4-3-3? Also, could this be the season Ross Forbes shows his potential? . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 First thing I'll be doing when the League odds are produced is check the price for Stenny to win League Two, some good signings on paper. You always seemed to be on the verge of a great run last year without quite managing it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Reilly wide left but dropping deep left to receive the ball with Orr and one of Sewell/Yates up top 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglum25 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Great news about Yeats on loan for the full season. That was the signing a lot of us were hoping for. This looking good at the moment and a lot of optimism about. Well done to all for the work done so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adult – £18 per month [July – April] Concession – £11 per month [July – April] Unbelievable value again there can't be much better than that in Britain. When you look at how the likes of East Fife are treating their fans for season tickets we should be very thankful. Hopefully there's a decent uptake after such a positive close season on the signing front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offsideflag Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Stenhousemuir look like they have a squad that could compete at the top end of the table this season - but then I thought that last season and it never materialized. I'm not sure I agree with the chairman's assessment that last season (1.36 points per game) was much better than the previous season (1.18 points per game). Matty Yates should be a fantastic signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so excited! (And that will inevitably lead to crushing disappointment when we finish in sixth.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fashioned Stramash Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Same, I'll be getting three season tickets tomorrow. What else is tremendous is that if your child plays for Stenny, you can get a season ticket for £60!! 16-21 year old price is a fantastic offer too.
