Francesc Fabregas Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Let's kick things off with a fun fact: Stenhousemuir were the first side to visit Galabank after Annan Athletic's ascension to the SFL in 2008. How about that! Like last week, I can't pretend to know all that much about our latest opposition. Are Annan a good side? Why did all their players sign for Clyde? Can they get the better of the Warriors? Will Stenny offer more than playing long balls towards their strikers? Tune in on Saturday to find out! I don't see any reason for Stenhousemuir to alter last week's winning XI: - Mark McGuigan - Jamie Longworth - - Jimmy Scott - Mark Ferry - Harry Paton - Nathan Blockley - - Ruaridh Donaldson - Mick Dunlop - Ross Dunlop - Ross Meechan - - Chris Smith - I'd be disappointed if we didn't take a point from this game at the very least. We're unbeaten in four matches and, after last week's results, we're keeping pace with the sides above us (not that I think we're likely to win the division, but still). Taking something from this match will be an important step to maintaining our place in the top four and pulling away from the teams beneath us.

athletic 1 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I remember that first game. 1-1 draw and your manager at the time blamed the grass for being too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 So lads, how did this go down? I imagine it followed the same pattern as most of our away trips this season - a dominant-enough first half where we took the lead followed by a disappointing second where the midfield wilted and the opposition took control? Looking forward to reading what happened. Given the clamour surrounding this fixture, I don't think we'll have long to wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver1 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Well, you weren't too far off with your analysis, although to be fair, Annan never looked like scoring, their penalty aside. We had three chances at the start of the 2nd half to put the game to bed, including a shot from McGuigan off the post. Ross Dunlop missed a great chance in the 90th minute and then with the last kick off the ball the ref bottled a penalty decision. Even had Bomber giving the ref grief at the end. A definite two points dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The annoyance is that player for player, we're better than at least 7 of the 9 other teams. The fact we have no real wide player and or creativity will cost us masively this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Is Ryan Stevenson still officially an Annan player, or has he vanished again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
