I know a few going (including me) who don't go to many away games. So there should be a decent following. Especially since we played really well on Saturday for the first time in many weeks.

We've normally a good support at Galabank, so would expect around 100 there on Saturday.

Watched the Annan v QP highlights and have to say the home side were pretty impressive against a team that played us off the park with ten men, though they still did'nt manage to beat us. Whatever our shortcomings this season, there's no question the team spirit looks the best it's been for a few seasons. Notman and Finn Graham were outstanding vs East Fife, while Kevin Walker was commanding throughout and along with Dwayne Coultress and Ross Graham probably produced his best peformance in a Berwick shirt. The manager still needs to find a better way to use Michael McKenna's undoubted talents. And he needs to stop subbing Darren Lavery when he's playing well. We've been saying it for years now, but play Lavery through the middle and he'll cause the opposition problems. Create a decent supply for him and Henderson and they'll prove they're amongst the top 3 strike partnerships in the league.

We're normally pish at Galabank, but I feel more optimistic about this after last Saturday. I'd take a draw now mind.

Good to see all those top class loan signings coming in too.

I thought Henderson done ok, he was a bit raw but with time could have settled. We stuck with big Kenny who undoubtably was a better player but although unluckily with injuries he didn't work out for us. In the past now, looking forward to the match, cup games are always slightly more contested...

How is Henderson doing? He was an absolute donkey when he was at Annan. For a guy that height, he was useless in the air.

Still a way to go I reckon, but improving all the time and always a definite starter for us.

Much better in the air, and strong on the ball too.

He's done really well since joining us and is probably the first striker pick ahead of Lavery. Henderson's goal to game ration stands up with the best in the league and he scores all types. His hold up work is good and while he's not brilliant in the air he's a lot better than people give hime credit for. Still a work in progress (think he's only 22) but I'm pleased we've got him. Should end up with around 18-20 goals this season.
