Listening to Dodds’ interview, it sounds like Dan is our last signing, so no right back it seems.

Here he is!

 

And one for specially for Caleyboy 

 

Hope we see more of this

Oh my days 🍆💦

 

That shirt 🥰😍🤩❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤

Given what must be quite a small budget, I can't help but be optimistic, with the the way the squad is shaping up, we have numbers and a good balance of youth and experience, with some creativity in the side, and some strength across all areas. It is excellent to see Daniel back for the season, I was gutted when he left, and also surprised that he wasn't given more opportunities at Hibs. He and George Oakley will settle in quickly, and if Boyd hits the ground running it's fair to say that up front we seem to have lots of options for a long season, knowing that we should see Walsh and Sutherland back in the new year, in what will feel like useful & timely reinforcements. Being greedy I would love to see Chalmers back to. The midfield looks decent, as long as MacGregor, Allardice and Welsh all stay fit for long periods...Hyde will kick on I reckon. I guess there is some flexibility at RB back in Carson and Duffy, although a proper full time RB is still desirable IMV.

Whilst I would have liked us to sign specialist right back, I think we now have a stronger squad than last season and there are considerable grounds for optimism.

I’d love to be able to share your optimism on that. We’ve lost some of last season’s best players - Broadfoot, Chalmers and McAlear, as well as Sutherland and Walsh looking unavailable for most of the season.

We’ve replaced them with largely unknown, untested and inexperienced players.

I very much hope it all works out and the team gels into a good unit, but our best chance is perhaps that the overall standard of this league continues to get deteriorate.

I think that we will see the same maddening inconsistency that we have seen in recent seasons.  We may well reach the playoffs, but won't win the league.

Three youngsters have been given their first professional contracts with the club: Keith Bray, Matthew Strachan and Calum Mackay (Dan’s brother):

With this news that Robert posted above (which I'm ecstatic about btw 😀) can someone kindly post a list of players in each position please and that includes the youngsters from last year that were mentioned earlier in the thread (Riddle, Hennem etc) so that I can work out that all we really need is a right back 😛.

Wallace Duffy according to several sources is a Right Back

 

We have a new Head of our Medical Department, with Daniel Cluett joining from Barnet to replace Douglas Sim who retired at the end of last season:

Always handy to have this. At least we know who is signed for the season.

A squad of 30 which is pretty good so I'd say we are set for the season ahead now and probably not in desperate need of new signings :). 

That's a good number of youngsters too which is good to see, it will now shut me up (I was advocating getting them signed up) which will please you all lol.

Personal attack haha.

In an ideal world I would have liked to have seen one more signing defensively. However more than happy with the squad at present and looks like a good blend of youth and experience to kick on for what's hopefully a very positive start to the season

Now that Daniel McKay is back and Roddy Macgregor is fully fit again we have, on their day,two of the most creative players in the division.

Hopefully, the forwards can take advantage of that creativity.

Lot of fragility in the squad.  Everything crossed that we don't get any (more) early injuries and do get a flying start 💪

Good to see Lewis Nicolson extend his contract. I’ve liked what I’ve seen of him and he could become a real asset to us:

He was there last season and was highly regarded so hopefully he continues to improve.
