pie n beans Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 If Tranent can capture the form of recent weeks they will be up there probably with Musselburgh and maybe Arniston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 From a selfish point of view I'd like to see some of the Mid/East Lothian teams coming up, Bonnyrigg are running out of 'local' games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnie_man Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Promises to be another competitive league, hopefully there four clubs out of the above list who finish below us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie n beans Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It will be difficult with same squad as last season as i think Blackburn need a bit more experience added to the squad but they can beat anyone on their day as showed with a cup victory over Penicuik last season.

Belter1 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Tranent had a poor start to the season. Kevin Thomson signing seemed to hold us back a bit. That's nothing to do with kevin as a player etc but it was just never going to work at that level. To much off the field issues aswell. After the run the boys have been on winning both cups hopefully they can get of to a good start and they will be there or there abouts. Foresters is a hard place to come and get points now. Think it will be Musselburgh tranent and haddington for the top 3 places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locheedfcno1 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 For what?? For promotion. Have a decent manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie n beans Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Kirriemuir will need to adapt to the higher level with far better players than in the regional league, so to say they will go up is a big shout, Dunbar are in the same boat and play really good football but i think both teams would settle for mid table in their first season and avoid the bottom 4. A lot of teams have or had good managers but that goes for nothing, as we all know its the 11 that cross that white line on a sat that really matter.

taysider99 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Think going by the season just finished the top 2 should be us Tayport and Tranent with Arniston also up there fighting it out aswell and finishing third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested in what you based your thoughts on. 2. Remind me the score the last time we played up at Tayport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell End Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 With exception of Tayport, I think all the Fife & Tayside will be in bottom half this season. Thornton will want to shake off the yo-yo tag, and having seen Kirriemuir last season will certainly need to strengthen just to be competitive. The Glens seemed to get a lift from 2 bouts of new managers, but I'm sure they will be looking for more stability this term but with a lack of finance they may struggle. St. Andrews having been given a reprieve are sure to strengthen but question marks remain on the management team who had time and money last year but were still relegated. At top end don't discount the relegated fauldhouse & Musselborough are usually a good outfit. Could be a very competitive season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a very competitive season Would fully expect Musselburgh to be in the top 2 with their squad and budget. Fauldhouse will be a new team this year. I'd imagine JC will go for a few boys from the west so will be a bit of an unknown. Should be an interesting league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belter1 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Musselburgh will probably have the biggest wage budget in the league and will be top 3. Hopefully behind tranent though [emoji12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had the same squad with maybe one or two additions, i think we might have managed to stay in the premier, anyone heard anything.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
