Don't want to see any other signings until we've sorted a goalkeeper and a decent defender.

I mean it’s only been a week since the competitive football started and still no sign of a goalie. Can give us all the talk we are trying blah blah blah in the press. We’ve known since start of may it’s now mid July!

I think they would have known for the majority of last season that Little would be away.

A few players released today that would make a difference to the team.. But I think we will get a loan GK and CB… 

unless the club has been looking at what the fans are saying etc. Bring back Todrov as he’s better than we have up top which is an embarrassment as we let him go!😅

There is no doubt our squad would be better with Todorov in it. 

There's certainly more pressing issues but another senior striker given wighton and kane have injury issues and McCann is better out wide should have always been part of our agenda.

Just to add that’s not having a go at Sutherland, he’s a young lad who needs time to develop and not chucked into a team like this 

Well run clubs with average sized squads would introduce these guys for a few games and then take them out when they need protected.

We have no option but to play them now and at the same time unsettle the senior players by shifting them around 2-3 different positions every few weeks because the squad is about 6 players light for being able to cover injury prone players like Wighton and Breen.  You need a squad to replace out of form players, never mind injuries. Look at Mehmet making mistakes every week and keeps his place because we have nobody else.

The board think the squad is fine with Hamilton and Otoo playing a different position every second week. How can we ever get a settled team with owners who think like that. One injury means making two changes by moving other players around. It's hugely worrying.

The people running our club are neglecting the first team to extent where I genuinely think they will relegate us again. This academy starts look more and more out of place with every passing week when you look at how weak our first team squad is. If you can't afford to run a first team (the fundamentals of any football club), put the club up for sale and ship out.

It seems our owners and board are forgetting what’s the most important part of a football club, the 1st team! If we have a successful first team the extra cash we pick up in cup runs league finishes etc can help pay for training ground etc. instead of bleeding fans dry and running the squad cheap as they can

The only metric of success is a good first team, they can talk all they want about how they'd like to develop local young talent or sportsmanship or whatever else but it all it largely just background noise, if we can't win on a Saturday then the rest is pointless.

Just this above what Tartan Army Par has said. McPake has his hands tied now and where is the club going?
