rhliston Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Its 5 days to go before the start of the new season and the Albion face the long trek up to Peterhead to open the season. In my opinion this season will be all about surviving In the 1st Division as apart from Albion supporters everyone else has us as favourites to go down back to the 2nd Division. Can the Albion survive I hope that we can and I would settle for any position from 8th place on up. Tough start at Peterhead who will be looking to open their season with a win at home but who knows could it be a repeat for the Albion on the win we achieved at the tail end of last season? hopefully we can go their and get a draw, that I will be happy with. Hopefully our defence will improve because we need to keep it tight at the back to stand any chance of staying up. We also need to make sure for he coming season we need to get as many points at home, make it Fortress Forthbank and improve on our away record from last season. Given the signings that have been made over the summer I am encouraged on the way the club is heading and we can stay up fingers crossed for the coming season.

JakeSAFC Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 This will be a big test for us and I'll be happy if we come away with a point. Thankfully this season it won't be Bishop marking McAlister, so maybe just maybe we'll keep him quiet.... The team id start is: Paterson Hamilton- Wedderburn- Smith- Creaney Johnston- Comrie- Smith (if fit)- DL Smith Doris- Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your comments regarding McAllister, he is Peterhead`s danger man stop him and were in with a chance. The team id start is: Paterson Hamilton- Wedderburn- Smith- Creaney Johnston- Comrie- Smith (if fit)- DL Smith Doris- Smith The team you selected is good I would have no complaints if Greg McDonald starts with this line up. If we can keep it tight at the back, then maybe an away win is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannockburn Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 i have been very impressed by steven doris, credit to the board for backing the management team to get hjm to sign for us. think it could be the signing coup of the season.heard from a very reliable source he turned down numerous clubs to sign for us including peterhead.with regard to the alloa game last saturday,our young midfield at times gave the ball away far to cheaply heres hoping the more expierianced guys are not to far away from being fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team id start is: Paterson Hamilton- Wedderburn- Smith- Creaney Johnston- Comrie- Smith (if fit)- DL Smith Doris- Smith Looks like Peterhead 2 Stirling 3 Purely based on the number of Smiths on each side. Agree that as the new boys it will be a case of trying to consolidate in this league for both teams. From a blue toon point of view hoping that Rory can stay fit and suspension free and get enough goals at this level to keep us clear of the bottom. Certainly going to be harder than last season.

JakeSAFC Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 If you lot keep McAlister fit then you'll be fine, he's bound to score a lot of goals this season. Should be a tight game this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albionees Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 i have been very impressed by steven doris, You're obviously easily impressed then, he's doing nothing in the two games I've seen to suggest he's on a par with Jordan White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhliston Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Just back from the Peterhead game though the Albion were unlucky not to get the win but as I said before Rory McAllister is their danger man and he managed to score with 5 mins to go. Still can`t complain as I was happy to get the draw before the game started, Ayr United at home next week hopefully we get off to a good start at home and get the 3 points, would make a good start to season in Division 1 for us.
