Bold Rover Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Normally Rovers expect at least 10 gift points from our Larbert friends. But with our poor start, do Stenny fancy their chances at the Exsel this Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 No. Home win, I'd reckon, 2-0, with goals from one of the Dunlop brothers and Calum Ferguson. We could be flying high at the top of the table and I'd still fancy us to get beat. I am Captain Ahab and Albion Rovers are my Moby Dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Snuffleupagus Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I've got a bad feeling about this. I'm well aware of the hex we have over Stenny (and QP too, for that matter) but that can't go on for ever, and we really, really need to win on Saturday. Gulp!

Bold Rover Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I expect a draw, actually, and that'll keep Stenny below us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alarmingly bad start to our league campaign, and although praise was bestowed on Saturday's cup performance, it was another 4 goals shipped at home - two successive weeks of that. So, I agree - a morale boosting victory over our Larbert bitches is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the QoS v Stenny highlights from last week, especially the defending. It'll lift your spirits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stenny defending in those highlights is truly shocking. But they'll have learned from it, and we're not QoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hot damn, some wild defending there! Not sure what goal's my favourite - is it the first where old lettuce wrists McCabe lets the ball go right through him? Or the seventh where Fraser Kerr forgets how to walk?

Ancient Warrior Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Our goalie couldn't keep hens out of a midden Our back four don't know how to defend Our midfield disappear at the drop of a hat Our strike force consists of a young laddie and an OAP We never beat Rovers Prediction - Rovers 0 Warriors 4 Just off to take my medication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglum25 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Bomber says that there are going to be changes made - surely he will drop McCabe and Captain Fantastic Gilhaney and possibly Stirling as well. We have well and truely been left in the mire by the incopetence of some who run the club but will just have to get on with it. Going to be a hard season without a doubt but we need players who are going to put a shift in. I really do not know how you sort out a defence like ours but you must wonder about what is happening at training and the coaching on offer. The decision to let Robertson go is coming back to haunt them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaver1 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Saw him play in his trial game last week. Tied the full back in knots. Was easily the best player on the park. Suspect this will be a step up for him but certainly looks promising and worth the risk. Now for a goalkeeper and centre half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
