  1. In a recent interview the manager mentioned how much a stats man he is. Can you pease concentrate on the stats above and rectify them. Gutless today. Wouldn’t have known we are fighting for a play off place.
  2. A lot of the Queens Park players are now amateur in what used to be their profession, spend time to free electrical and plumbing work when they’re not training or playing games with the club.
  3. What’s the thoughts on form at the minute? One win in four league games. Not really play off form. Looking the other way Stenny have a great chance to catch us if we slip again and get themselves to the right end of the split. Going forward I think things are only going to get tougher as the fixtures come thick and fast. When the return was announced I expected us to be better placed than we are at the minute. After dropping points at Cowdenbeath I felt we needed to take at least 7 from our next three league games, unfortunately we’ve failed at the first hurdle. We can sit and say, we’re creating chances or we deserved more etc but, look what that brought us last season. I’d sooner create one chance a game, win 1-0 every week and be sitting in the play offs rather than the position we are in now. Squad rotation has been used as an excuse but, not one that can be given by the manager. Every other club strengthened in the last few months while we stuck with what we’ve got. That’s fine if your happy and feel what’s out there isn’t any more positive than what you’ve got but, a quick look at some of the names that moved on loan and most would think different. As much as nothing is possible yet, playoffs surely has to be a minimum requirement for the season. Fear it’s slipping away rather quickly.
  4. Confirmed Hibs game to be n BBC. Six games to be played between now and the Tuesday the 20th. Hopefully win our next three and secure a play off place before the last couple of games. Big ask though.
  5. A real shame the town and club won’t benefit from this tie the way they normally would. Good tie all the same but a side show to our league campaign. Play offs a must. Cup run is nice.
  6. As Clayhole Blue says four huge games for us. Games quickly running out so every point a prisoner. Think seven points from the next three games would be a great return. Expect a few changes tonight. Would like to see Hilton and Yates come in. Both direct and see to offer a bit more spark going forward.
  7. Unfortunately no complaints about the result. We weren’t at it. first half we were very passive, seemed to just want to hit long balls in behind. These failed time after time. If that was the tactic then don’t think Duffy is the answer. First goal was poor, one Stranraer defender left with two Queens Park players. Good looping header but, disappointed to see Fleming lobbed again. Second goal was a great delivery, Queens Park players were lining up to knock it in. Very hard to defend a ball like that. Second half we tried to play a bit more but seemed to be any time we upped the pace Queens Park did the same. Think the most pressure Muir was under was brought on himself or by his own defenders. Knew it would be a hard ask today but thought we might have been a bit more competitive. Tough ask after going so long without football so not too disheartened. Credit to Queens Park. Well worthy of their win.
  8. Hopefully a good time to get Queens Park given the lack of competitive action for both teams. Didn’t think there was a great deal between the two teams in our first meeting, that said the wind maybe played its part. Don’t think we can afford to start the way we did against Kelty and let the opponents decorate the play. Three points for the blues and there might just be a title race on.
  9. Great addition. Full of energy, can tackle, pass and will adds goals. Always follow the progress of players of that have done Stranraer a good turn, Kyle being one of them. Very surprised to see him loaned out. Seemed to be playing enough and certainly performing well enough. Possible that Kyle is looking to move on in the summer and Crawford has taken the pet?
  10. Stephen Farrell been linked at all? Word was Ayr were interested last time round. Last season probably didn't help him much.
  11. Chance of our Scottish cup tie being televised should Hearts progress? Premier Sports have surprisingly jumped in and taken the Old Firm games for a change. BBC not announced their pick yet so presumably waiting to see who progresses from round 2.
  12. Brechin fans are worried they won't be able to wash the strips on time to fulfill fixtures so maybe they could be replaced by Celtic or Rangers Colts for the rest of the season as a trial. Old Firm Colts can play a televised play-off with the winner getting the sought after spot.
  13. Not wholly, no, but the vibes from Brechin fans on here are that they don't wish for football to start again. Is that in the hoped they are saved once again? Not really trying to be controversial to be honest. Having seen the work clubs have done to get games going, a longing to watch Stranraer again be it on a stream, over a wall or in the ground, it's crap reading football fans coming up with reasons not to get playing again. Seen money used as an excuse, clubs were furnished with grants from the government, a gift from James Anderson and were able to furlough players and staff. With no training facilities to pay for, stadiums out of use surely outgoings can't haven't been all the great?
  14. Understand that logistics could be a pain and part time players or volunteers getting getting to as many mid week games could be tough. Kits not so much, surely just alternate between home and away as much as possible.
  15. They can't just keep sparing Brechin every season.
  16. For me this is the best of our orange kits. Was a real bright number, think we've had three to date. Two seasons with ICIS, from what I remember they were pretty well made.
  17. One of the teams I’d of chosen to avoid, especially away from home. No denying it winnable, especially on our form but will be testing. Think all the attention will be on Kelty which might help up. One bonus for us is the plastic pitch. Not everyone’s cup of tea but, we struggled to get going on the heavy park on Saturday so hopefully we are able to get back to playing the football we’ve been used to seeing the last couple of months. Would have been a great one for supporters to take in. The Scottish Cup always brings a bit of excitement and always nice to take in a new ground. Suppose we just have to appreciate there’s still football at the minute.
  18. Hard pitch to handle but Annan seemed to cope with it better than we did to begin with. They had a good 15, 20 minute spell where it felt like we couldn’t get out our half. Luckily they never seemed to make this count. We ended the first half a bit better and took that in to the second. Started playing a bit of football again and manger to create a few chances. Andy Stirling looked a threat and starting to show more of the Andy we became accustomed too in previous spells. Huge fan of Tom Orr and his work rate. Similarities to Craig Malcolm, in the sense that he pesters the opposition the whole time and chases everything. Glad to see he’s getting the goals to reward his efforts. Crazy sending off from one of Annans better player. Would say they were still in the game and every chance of at least a draw at the time. Now ten unbeaten. What a difference a year makes.
  19. Not the draw I would of chosen but certainly winnable, especially on our for at the minute. Last season I’d of written us off.
  20. Too true. Sad. Would of been a great result. Still very tight for play off spots but to be there we need to see games like this out. Can’t say much about Stenhousemuir first goal but the second is a real f**k up between our defence and goalkeeper. Really frustrating. As much as I appreciate coverage once again pixleot (sp?) absolute dog dirt. These poor clubs have been had.
  21. Keep your negative comments about Gregory Tade to yourself.
