Good news, that confirms his absence from the Irn Bru game I assume, that was probably going to be the case anyway.

They will need a fence behind the goal

What will happen next season, more of the experienced players, people retiring, are there new people to be brought in, youngsters stepping up? We beat Spartans, will we be about their area in the league?

Good stuff

We have never been shipping goals, there have been a few that were self inflicted due to silly free kicks etc but the issue has been the zero side of the 0-1 results. We need to find a way of scoring goals, 30 yard screamers excepted.

We were the better team yesterday but we cannot rely on a world class strike from distance to win games, we need something better up front.

Grimshaw has impressed over the past two games so gave it to him today

If all our problems are solved by dipping into the Under 20s then is it James Scott's turn next?

I like Bowman with all his energy and enthusiasm but he is not a footballer

The play was up the other end, it was the first half, he ran from corner flag to corner flag about 6 yards into the pitch, he ran between the goal and Carson who was on the 18 yard line, he wasn't interested in interacting with any players or interrupting the game, his focus was on his audience in the crowd, then he went on his arse.

The story of the match doesn't show the fud that ran on to the pitch, short changed!

He got another shot away tonight and a few balls into the box, maybe the deeper position suits him?

Given that the second half was largely played 30 yards in front of the away support I had the opportunity to get a good view of our strikers. For all his sand dancing at the end and his energy levels, Ryan Bowman is not a footballer.

Turnbull and Cadden the star men, a clean sheet, is that our first?

The goal that Cadden scored should be getting attempted every game, play the ball up to a big boy on the edge of the box, he lays it off for an advancing midfielder to stroke it into the net, easy.

Bits and pieces of football being played tonight but we don't have enough footballers in the team to take advantage of any opportunities, on the balance of play we are the better team but a one goal lead leaves me with no particular confidence.

Team?

It does seem like it but realistically we could do next to nothing until Christmas sign a couple of standouts and still have time to pull clear. Won't happen though.

Main could be a good option off the bench

If they are loud enough they are old enough

What is the make up of the Bois? Do the older boys move on and get replaced with a younger crew or is it the same group of people who have been involved over a number of years?

As much as we are praising Turnbull I would hate to think that a run in the team would see him removed from the 'colts' team for their cup match.

I don't think defence is a problem other than the tendency to concede free kicks outside the box, our problems are our lack of forward looking options, no goal threat, no opportunities created, no decisive through ball (Turnbull excepted). We have enough reasonable defenders to keep it reasonably tight at the back. We need to convert 0-1 results into 2-1 results.

If the player that causes the injury is booked the injured party doesn't need to leave the field after treatment, no booking yesterday

Just think if he had been able to put on Hastie and James Scott, the crowd would be lifted, extra energy in the team, who knows we may have managed a 0-0
