Maybe nobody knows for sure yet which would be fair enough.
Can't be easy for the manager to bring someone in actually it must be really really difficult I'm sure he will be working hard to try sort something out.
Not exactly critical as boys up front doing fairly well just good to have other options.
Question
Would you take winning next two Scottish cup games or next two league games??


Tough question but I'd take the league!

I would take one game at a time forget about winning league and cup just win each game. Need to take pressure of players no one wants to take the ball and slow the game down. Some players showing tiredness from mental and physical pressure of sitting at the top. Long way to go let's enjoy the games by playing good football

Sounds alright!

Certainly took a big step forward from last season, last season we were on 9 games and 19 points which we all thought was great now we have kicked it on again.

Funny how football works thought we deserved to beat Hurlford away and get a point at Troon yet we only picked up one point not four yet other games we have pinched points or held out against the odds a man down.

Without sounding repetitive keep up the good work Maxi and Gordon and the coaching boys everyone appreciates the good work.

Word is Willie could be out for the season as he pulled up with the injury he first got two months ago.
I reckon if we can we will bring in a striker but money may be a problem.


Can't rely on Kevin for goals as good as his movement and link play is.

So hopefully we get something sorted if not we go with what we got nothing to fear these players have proven now they have something about them.

Agree Kevin scores but not prolific so help required fraz midfielder but if that's our lot then so be it we have done well so far so no need to panic yet

Have to say that Rob Roy will never have a better chance of taking the title than they currently possess.Good squad of players with great consistency of results and keeping it going.Wish them all the best as Lok certainly won't be challenging!

We may or may not have a better chance nobody can look into the future.
Received a text concerning W. Sawyers good news got told on Sunday night he can play again this season and hopefully within 4 weeks. Already been out ten weeks so fingers crossed.

Rabs bit from today's evening times, copy and paste job

Kilsyth’s near neighbours Rob Roy are likewise on Cup duty against strong East Region opponents with the Rabs hosting the visit of Musselburgh Athletic at their temporary Guys Meadow home.

Team boss Stewart Maxwell was down to just 13 available players for last weekend’s 2-1 defeat of Largs Thistle so he will be feeling delighted to have his selection hand strengthened by the return of Chris Mackie (suspension) and Scott Walker (family commitments) on top of the welcome news that midfield marksman Shaun Fraser has recovered from a heavy knock picked up at Barrfields.

On the downside, rugged defender Davie Barr is a definite non-starter with a slipped disc as is top scorer Willie Sawyers with the torn thigh muscle problem that has led to a lengthy spell on the sidelines and sparking rumours that he would not play again this season.

He said: "I don’t have a clue where these stories are emanating from but I spoke with a specialist physiotherapist earlier today and he thinks I am two to three weeks away from a return to playing action.

“I feel almost ready to get back into the thick of things right now but it’s best to take on board the expert advice because the last thing I want is to put my recovery back by aggravating the tear in the muscle.

“For that very reason I’m not setting myself any targets and will only pull on the boots again when 100 per cent fit.”

Maxwell said: “Willie is doing the right thing and being very sensible so it’s only right that we go along with his wishes in terms of making a comeback.

“It would be fabulous to have him back for the Musselburgh contest and for the vital league games looming in front of us but I’m resigned to being without him until the end of February so it’s a bonus if he gets back sooner.”

Turning to the cup tie, he said: “Musselburgh were losing finalists just two years ago and still retain a number of players from that team so they are clearly a team who thrive on Scottish Cup occasions.

“We have done the respectful bit by having them watched and we know a tough 90 minutes is in prospect but I’d imagine the report compiled by their man in the crowd at our recent games – Davie McGlynn, the ex-Linlithgow Rose manager – will be more or less saying the same thing.

“ It’s going to be a tight affair just like the last meeting of the clubs at Adamslie a few years back when we lost out on a penalty kick shoot-out.

“I was a Rob Roy player that day so I’m hoping for a better rub of the green as a manager.”

Another copy and paste job (hope the above picture worked)

Should be a good night get along if you can and/or buy some raffle tickets at the game or from committee will be some great prizes.
