rhliston Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 This Saturday the Albion make the journey north to face Elgin City at Borough Briggs. On paper Elgin should be favourites to win this game, given the problems the Albion have had since the start of the season, struggling to score goals, having managed only a draw and losing 2 at home. On top of that it looks like Craig Beattie is out with a hamstring injury. That leaves the Albion with 3 strikers, one of which Steven Doris is having problems with a knee injury which requires surgery to fix and limits his playing time. Last time at Elgin we lost 3-2 in the Petrofac Cup just before the start of the season and odds are on another Elgin victory. Can the Albion get something from this game, I hope so but I am not too confident about it given our problems. Prediction Elgin 2 Albion 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Stirling Albion will turn the corner at some stage, hopefully not this week. City have gone from strength to strength and should win by a couple of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Honestly can't see where the next win is going to come from, certainly won't be this Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert the bruce Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Steven Doris got the all clear on Thursday from the consultant doesn't need an operation just our luck for Beattie to be injured we have to go 4 4 2 . Still think Beattie and Doris must be our strike pairing Doris has to start on Saturday time will tell if Beattie be ok for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 That's good news RTB. I've said it before but the team is definitely stronger with a fully fit Doris in it. I hope he can put this last episode behind him and start to get a run of games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchBorderer Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Game'll go to Elgin, I'm pretty sure. Stirling will get over their bad start to the season, but not quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hard fought win for City. Poor game and poorer ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhliston Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Don't expect anything from this game and was proved right. Wasn't at the game but results cannot go on losing most weeks. I'll give Skippy the next 2 games to try and turn things around and if we do not get anything then he should be shown the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elginite Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Stirling albion played well from the start being well organised but just could not hit the net our defence worked well and hurst had a good few saves and a flooky goal from mclean saves us also ref was a pain at times God Knows how much extra time there was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roberts Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Kyle McLeod was the Elgin scorer, and no fluke. A neat flick at the back post from a great Moore cutback. Thought Elgin were very organised and very rarely gave Stirling Albion anything other than shots outside the 18 yard box. Stirling had loads of possession but invariably ran out of ideas. The game finished at 5pm, could have played until 10pm and still ended with the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We played shite and Stirling Albion played shite. 9 points and 3 clean sheets so far can't be argued too much. More of the same please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityfan Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 As others have said, we were shite today but the result is all that matters. Every Elgin side I've watched would have huffed and puffed but lost that match quite comfortably today but I've said it loads this season, there's a different determination and strength under Weir.

staggy4life Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 How's Kyle Macleod getting on at Elgin? Heard the 1 month loan deal has been extended until January? Good for him to get more game time as he'd have only got a handful of sub appearances at County this season if any at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elginite Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Kyle mcleods getting on well seems to find himself in the right places at the right times and pairing well with gunny I'd say hes similar to gunnys sort of play but others might say different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
