Blowin In the Wind

Another thing to note is that the WOS Premier is not done and dusted yet and Auchinleck can catch Beith so they may well be in the playoff mix too. I know we beat them in the cup but going down there would be a different proposition.

That’s a really good point. I agree the season has been great for the most part and maybe the league was all that mattered. But winning is a mentality and you don’t just switch it on or off. We need to finish strong and be ready for the playoffs

It was the same a few weeks earlier against Inverkeithing when we lost a very winnable cup semifinal. I thought at that point we could still Hibs the league but a good win at Dunbar coupled with Kinnoulls surprise win at Musselburgh took all the pressure off. Will be good to be confirmed champions and that will make it a very good year but I still think it could have been a great year for the club and for the very hard working committee who put in endless hours.

No I don’t really subscribe to that. The wins at Dunbar and Dundonald wrapped up the league (even if not mathematically). Last night was a chance to add icing and a cherry onto the cake but they failed miserably. It was a similar story against Inverkeithing a couple of weeks back. It maybe a long season has caught up with them but it’s been a real struggle for a bit save an excellent performance away to Tranent and Dunbar in the last few months.

I think outwith the normal starting 11 there are only a few more who add much to the team. To compete even at mid level in the Lowland league we need about 5-6 new players.

The worst thing was so many of them didn’t look interested given a good chance to prove what they can do. Felt sorry for the keeper who was at least trying to keep them going and was pretty much blameless on what was going on in front of him.

Terrible attitude tonight and you have to say the management have to take some of the blame for this. After the disappointment to Inverkeithing you would have thought they would have got them up for this. But it appears not. Maybe the league is all they care about but a lot of people turned up tonight paying good money to see that dross.

Fine result for them tonight

Well done to Glenrothes tonight. But a woeful and gutless performance from Broxburn. That’s now two cups they had a great chance of winning gone by the wayside to relegation strugglers (who thoroughly deserved both victories). Winning the league will paper over some of the cracks but they have let what could have been a great season slip from their grasp.

Division 1 is a tough league to get out of. The teams coming up from League 2 are very decent and there are a number of clubs who will not be promoted this year all looking to go up next year. Broxburn have played a number of teams from this league over the past couple of years and can’t remember them ever having an easy victory.

A win for Luncarty would all but confirm Kinnoull’s relegation as well due to there poor goal difference. Along with it being a local Derby it could be very spicy .

If Broxburn don’t go up does that mean 4 relegated from Premier?

Yes, a great win last night at a place we have found very difficult in the last few years. Always been impressed with Dunbar, play some really good stuff and last night was no different. Would have settled for a point but getting all three is brilliant. Need to now focus on another tricky away trip to Dundonald. Getting close but not there yet, so keeping concentrated on the next game is vital.

I think Musselburgh’s chances of winning 7 from 7 is what will help Broxburn probably win the league rather than my faith in Broxburn closing it out. Hope I’m wrong as they do deserve it. Been consistent all season even when not playing well

Poor again yesterday. Although they had the bulk of possession didn’t think they created much until Nimmo came on. Leith had a number of good chances but didn’t really test the keeper until near the end. In a cup tie it’s all about getting through so in that respect it’s job done. League far from a done deal on recent performances. Confidence looks low which is really surprising considering where they are in the league. Tricky game next week
