If we can do the same against Brechin on Tuesday then I may just place a wee bet at the bookies. Don't think it's unfair to say we have a worse side than we had last season at the moment, certainly a greatly reduced attacking threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 No idea what Brechin are like, but if we play like we did on Saturday then I'd expect something from the game. Unfortunately can't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Looking forward to the forfar game and with three of us getting in for a tenner we'll be encouraging that pricing model. Haven't seen forfar since the end of season game up there years ago when Duffy was in charge. Think it was 2-2. Don't know much about them and unsure if Houston will try out some fringe players or just go for the certain qualification and raising fitness approach. Nice to see some goals spread around in particular keen for loy to notch one early in his return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CITY1974 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 A few players came in yesterday against Aberdeen and more than staked a claim for a place tomorrow .. We re light up front good enough players but don t score enough but that can change ... We terrible at defending corners but defence looks like it can be solid enough once thats sorted out ... You know what i d even start Isaac n Love see how that pans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeSAFC Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Another team of a higher level easily disposed by the Albion. Wasn't there tonight so can't comment on the performance, but feeling optimistic about the season ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Good to watch tonight. Less sideways and backwards passing moving the ball quickly. Bbc radio now talking us up unfortunately! Brechin here we come. Strong team please so we are seeded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brechin here we come. Strong team please so we are seeded The Under 20's are away so we will be picking from the same players. When you hear people around the club saying things like maybe it would be better not to be seeded to get a big cash tie it makes you wonder why they are actually involved at all.

Guest Back Post Misses Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 People like who? It was quoted on FFCTV tonight that there had been "chat" about it before the game.

bridge of allan bairn Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Bbc saying we are already seeded for the knockout stages yet Houston saying we want to win at Brechin to guarantee seeding. Who's right? What is the ruling? Most points between all of groups? Top of group only? 8 groups they can't all be seeded with big teams still to enter. Think Houston is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Good win for the Beanos tonight, once again being more than capable against a team from a higher league. Defended well ,broke well, and had chances to win by a higher margin. Brechin created a few openings but their finishing was awful (much like ICT last week). Isaac Layne is a joke of a footballer. Comedy gold from him tonight. We've looked good in this group other than the pasting in Grangemouth. Hopefully carry this into the real stuff in a couple of weeks. Not for the first time I'm optimistic about the season ahead, but this is the Albion. I've been here long enough to know it's never that straightforward!

Think Houston is right I believe it's the four teams with the best records that get seeded so we are not there yet.I get the impression that Houstie will field a decent team on Saturday as he pointed out on the radio after the game how important it was to avoid the biggest sides as you mention.So it sounds like whoever was suggesting that we should avoid being seeded around the club is being ignored anyway.

Bbc radio now talking us up unfortunately! Brechin here we come. Strong team please so we are seeded Funny how folk see things differently; I felt there was too much sideways stuff early on although we did start to get in behind as the game progressed. Plenty positives to take; Hippo's goals, which were all fantastic, yet another from Fash and McKee was instrumental again with the defence looking comfortable. I thought Loy was looking a bit frustrated as he hasn't scored yet. That'll come though. Thought the substitutions upset our rhythm a bit, much like the Albion game, which stopped us scoring more although I felt Sheps was unlucky. Strangely enough I thought Forfar were a better side than Stirling were and their number's 10 & 11 both looked decent. Hard to say if our performances so far give any indication of how we'll do in the league as we've had a fairly easy ride in all of our games. I suppose we'll soon find out!

The suggestions were that Stirling were very poor at Falkirk which was my impression at the time and is probably true, but the form of both sides since then suggests it more to do with how well Falkirk are playing just now than you lot being a poor side.10/1 for you to win league 2 looks tempting TBH. Hope you play this well when it matters though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
