I guess that's what happens when you dont have a signed off budget and take weeks to appoint a manager. I would like to think Mark got in touch with all players when appointed (whether massively reduced offer or not) Can't see how he could have been offered prior to that given the manager may or may not have wanted him around. Sadly this Summer is very disorganised so far; and it could be worse, he could have been advised he was leaving from the official website (sure this has happened before!)

Personally don't think Banzo is a big loss. His best years are behind him. Fantastic servant to the club, but the club have also been very good to him too. Replaceable.

Well its not Imrie Morton confirmed hes staying put

Best we've played all season for 70 mins, even in terms of effort and commitment. Gutted we lost a soft goal, but really should have had a 2nd and then the lack of subs when the team tired was a little strange. Everyone played well but think we saw tonight what Martin will bring to us, seemed to be everywhere and always where the ball was until he tired with around 20 to play Gutted we didn't hold out but much improved

To be fair, pretty sure we signed Simon Colina from Barca and he wasn't any better!

Things don't look great but happy with Scott Martin signing. To then release on official site saying squad of 23, I am guessing they are counting the 4 apprentices as by my counts there are only 19. 4 boys that haven't kicked a ball for us being included in those numbers feels a little sneaky. If we can pickup another Goalkeeper, and Attacking player with McKay coming back, should be good enough to finish this season.

To release Sayers cos Harry was back only for 72 hours later to lose Harry is a mess. Unless we go sign a replacement it really won't go down well.

More fight in the family section and hospitality today than there was on the pitch.

Think tonight just furthers my belief that when they are fit Stanway, Lyon and MacKenzie need to be in and about the starting line up. Too many pretenders in this team. Fair play to Stanway and Fitzy for changing this game.

Teams went massively backwards from last season, get to final 3rd with zero clue what to do. Don't think 90 mins with Brian Graham up front each game going to cut it this season. Thought Megwa looked good again, hard to really find too many positives as was a boring game.

Thought we were out fought and out battled today. A draw probably the best result we could have hoped for. Big improvement needed but early days. The lack of balance in squad was telling.

Just adding presume it is Kieran Ngwenya - we were previous linked but never quite completed the signing.

McInroy would definitely be a decent signing Also presume same left back linked a few months ago.

Have to say we were out battled most of today, seemed quite happy to sit back deep. Didn’t think anyone was particularly impressive. Wasiri looks very raw, some good battles but some mistakes too. Lyon was probably the only one who impressed and he was only on the park a short period of time. Extremely average but it’s early days yet. We probably need another 2/3 bodies in before season starts. Also, I may be wrong but pretty sure Ben’s top said Staway instead of Stanway…

Sold out in every size over xl, next delivery late July. Quite intrigued if we have sold loads or just initial stocks were low.
