Razor Bill Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 If I'd started this one off a couple of weeks ago, "You can't polish a turd" would have done the job for the pre-match intro, but, buoyed by a much-improved performance against the East Fife rage brigade, hope springs eternal once again and I fancy our chances on Saturday. Going back to 4-4-2 at Bayview worked out pretty well. We looked a lot more dangerous up top, and Dargo was outstanding. Notman and Drummond at full back gave us extra attacking options, and Lee Currie finally looked as if he was starting to emerge from his extended hibernation with a more influential performance. On the downside, Tulloch and Young were bullied by Kevin Smith in Saturday's cup tie, which could have cost us more dearly than it did. Time for Johnny Fairbairn to return to central defence.The other dilemma is who partners Lee Currie in central midfield. We need to see more from Paul Currie if he's going to nail down a place. Ben Miller or the manager are the other options. And out wide on the left, Paul Willis was better than he was at Coatbridge but a fit Scott Maxwell would give us more balance and bite. Our 5-0 win over Shire earlier in the season disguised their late collapse after Bolo was sent off, and at 1-0 they were all over us like a cheap suit, so it ain't going to be a cakewalk. 2-1 to the Gers.

Redcar Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Optimistic as ever and a rare away trip for me, seduced by the prospect of some nectar in the Halfway House en route. We still need 2 Notmans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcar Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Yep. Probably get there about 10 to 2. Hope they have real lemonade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Feet Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Excited for this one. A win will really boost confidence for our run of home games. Play off places and 5th round of the cup by xmas please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Haynes' Son Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Excited for this one! Making the drip down to larbert, hopefully put on a good performance and start climbing the league to where we should be! 3-2 berwick, Dargoals, Lavery and a penalty from Lee Currie before being sent off for his 'guns celebration' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcar Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Scott Dalziel fit, and Dean Carse back at the club from his loan spell. Go on Victoria, pour Chris another double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 How come Carse is back? I'd hope it was to do with him being a potential wide option, but he was playing up top by the looks of it at the Rose & seemed to struggle to get regular game time. A rare occasion where I fancy us enough to back us today, although Andy Russell's miss last time will forever haunt me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcar Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 In a bizarre postscript to last weeks battle of Methil, Bonnyrigg took Jamie Beaton (the deserved red carder) on loan and sent Carse back to us. Suggests Rose, Carse or both weren't desperately impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shire Voice Of Reason Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Pathetic in every area of the pitch (except our keeper who kept the score semi - respectable). This is why we are destined to drop out of the league! Oddly enough, the only time we looked even slightly dangerous was when we went down to ten men.

Jamesmac18 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 We were dreadful and Berwick weren't much better. Our midfield today was missing, no attacking threat and a keeper who kept the score down. Referee wasn't great today, in fact he was hopeless, some very odd decisions. Agree with TSVOR the only time we looked like we might possibly score a goal was when we went down to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcar Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Fair score today was ...... 0-2. Shire worked hard and it was always a case of who would grab the 2nd ball when someone made a mistake. Not pretty but Berwick did it better. Particular mention for Andy Russell today. Subs are meant to change things and he did. Best sub performance I've seen for years for Berwick.

BerwickMad Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Was quite impressed with our performance today. Quite a few good performances and we kept plugging away when things weren't falling for us. Dargo stood out for me, along with Russell when he came on. It was a great run and cross to set up Lavery at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Haynes' Son Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Pleasing performance and could have been more. Good to see Lavery on the score sheet twice, hopefully this sparks a good run of scoring form which we saw last season. Good impact from Russell coming on at the end for Dargo who I thought had a great game today too. Defence was rarely troubled and Bald had a couple of good saves. Tried to play football as best as we could given the not so warm and dry weather. Happy days we're gonna win the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F2427 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I thought it was a decent team performance and young and Hoskins in the centre of defence were solid against a weak shire attack. Bald had very little to do. Think the difference in playing lavery through the middle was evident in the two goals. Russell also made a difference when he came on with a great run for laverys second. Lee currie I felt also seemed slot improved from what I've seen recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Believer Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Feel sorry for Shire fans watching that every week. Long punt, hope to get a lucky break on the second ball. Thought Greenhill tried to play football and worked hard. At least we tried to get the ball down and pass; mostly. Great work rate from all closing down too; dressing room in a better place? Need a run now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Good to see the goals in the GoPro YellowFeet. Ashame about the sub for the first! Haha. It's good to see younger fans dragging the club into the 21st century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerwickMad Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Don't think they were great goals for it because they were so quick, but can imagine it being brilliant for a corner or a goalmouth scramble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
