Strikers required after today's friendly. Bright and Paton aren't the answer

Good to see Reidy back but Paton not for me. Smacks of desperation because we can't get anyone else. As for today's result only surprise was it wasn't more.

Re signing Paton 🤦🤦🤦🤦 Mainly as a coach and back-up option, I imagine. MP’s wealth of coaching and playing experience not to be sneezed at.

A reality check for some.
Michael Paton is a lovely guy, and has a decent amount of experience in the game, but I can’t help but think the wage he’s receiving could be better spent elsewhere. Perhaps a more mobile option for one.
Alan Reid is a nice piece of business and a more justifiable veteran signing than Paton IMHO.
Unless there are a few players of real quality in the works, I honestly can’t see any significant improvement on last season’s showing.
As unbearable as it may be in some quarters, barring some really significant injection of capital, we’re in the Lowland League for the foreseeable and it’s going to be a struggle.

Have to be honest I'm really puzzled how Michael Paton was offered a new contract unless it's in a player / coach capacity with the emphasis being on coaching.
Love Reidy obviously but I was convinced last season was his last.
We are where we are. I daresay we don't have too many knocking on our door asking to sign.

Agree what's been said about Michael Paton re-signing. As Bill and Tommy have said I agree and I think its on a coaching capacity. Let's be honest he has never been fit the vast majority of the time due to the amount of injuries he's had since joing .Also before he played with us he was a midfielder, not a striker which seems to be where we play him.
In a recent online article Sandy said he is looking for another striker and a defender but he hasn't managed to get them yet and he says he's not expecting to to have the players he needs in his place until July. He says he made offers to 14 players so we will just need to wait to see how many of them sign as some of them are still contracted to other teams till the end of June -today . I think we will see some signings announcements this week or next.

It's players we need not coaches and if he was any good we'd have been less crap last season.

Glad that Reidy has resigned for the club, much needed experience but to give Michael Paton another contract is laughable honestly, the guy is injured 99% of the time, total waste when the money could be spent elsewhere, nice to see we signed Paul Kennedy from Broomhill, scored against us last season and he’s a good player, but definitely need a striker, can’t be going into the season with just Bright
