HibeeJibee Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Few weeks in so time for this again. Still very close over all 3 leagues at this stage, but Edinburgh City yet to register; surprising early pace-setters in HL; and East Stirlingshire still outside top 5 in LL. SPFL2 5 Stirling A.

Still think they will be there or there abouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 True, they've a game in hand. Winning that would reach 10pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theSilverFox Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 A lot, and I mean a lot, can change. Last season at this point Forfar were top of League 1 and seemingly cruising, even taking Hearts to extra time in a cup tie. We ended up bottom and relegated with a couple of games to play. It's not how you start it's where you finish. Edinburgh City or Montrose could still be runaway winners of our division and Clyde bottom and gone (imagine that non Clyde fans, try not to laugh!). Personally I don't care who survives as long as it's not the Loons who go down and I'd probably prefer if the other two Angus clubs survived even though the banter would be fun I'd hate to think of losing a potential Angus derby location.

Think us being out of the top 5 is a bit irrelevant at the moment, 1 game in hand, 2 on Dalbeatie and Colts, once those are played I'm sure we'll be top 2/3. Can't really see us keeping up with EK at the moment, but it's a long season, anything can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 hope Buckie don't win the HFL- they're a bit of a bogey team to us... ....on the other hand our record against Kilby isn't too bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Shire's case I would take 'OK' to mean coming back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Not exactly a promising start for City. Hopefully they get some points on the board soon and that helps get the confidence levels up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they get some points on the board soon and that helps get the confidence levels up a bit. They had a relatively strong league cup group and got zero points as a consequence. Maybe not so easy to take in confidence terms as a way to start the season when you have had two straight seasons of dominance at a lower level?
