Seeing as the past months worth of games have been pretty poor and have generated quite a lot of negative reaction and navel gazing - is it time to start thinking about rebuilding the squad with an eye on next year, as surely this years chances are beginning to look decidedly ropey.

He was signed unseen by Pele for £5,000 from Brora I think.

It wont be any time soon we will have even as little as £5k to pay a fee for someone. Based on our current position that's probably about 2 months wages paid to an experienced or more senior player in our squad (there may be the odd exception who gets more but wont be many these day s - many will be on less).

There may be a few decent prospects in the Highland League but the quality there is not nearly what it once was.

The league have lost big sides in Caley, Thistle, Elgin, Peterhead and even County. 

The only big sides lost to the HL were Caley and Elgin and at a push Peterhead, I always laugh how the fools from up the hill try and re-write history with their own fabricated spin on things

As for the thistle team from 1993/4 that leached onto Caley they would have struggled  to reach mid table in the Highland League today never mind take and Scottish cup scalps

What's your definition of "big"?  I'll grant you that Thistle's last few seasons in the HL weren't good.

But in their last four seasons, County finished in positions 1, 1, 5, and 3. In that last season they were equal on points with Caley but lost out on goal difference.

That's a loss to the HL by any normal standards.

Poor Dougal the fish are not biting ?

I'll bite. Like the majority of Dougal's posts, it was absolute nonsense.
