Deanburn Dave Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 On the Unofficial BU website in mid June it said Kegs wanted an 18 man squad . I reckon we are up to 16 (and 17 if Rhino is still there as sub goalie) :- Goalie: Murphy Defenders: Snowdon Campbell Hunter Syme Midfielders: Gray Morgan Watt Scott Forwards: Keast Wright Prentice McKenzie....................and utility players (!!) Gemmell, Donnelly and Jacobs Be really interesting over the next fortnight seeing how that group of players get moulded into a first XI. Personally I hope we go 4-4-2 with McKenzie and Keast up top. BU v West Calder tomorrow at Newtown Park KO 2.30. Mon the BU's !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they are still in talks with another central defender as well. Sublty put but you really didn't mean utility did you?

Deanburn Dave Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Agree with you Boheesian re young Rintoul. ........................and the "utility players" description was a genuine attempt to recognise their willingness to assist the team by playing in different positions.. Interestingly enough there is a "top 8 utility players in the premier league" list which includes:- Daley Blind, Phil Jones and Eric Dier and to be honest I would much rather watch Gemmell, Donnelly and Jacobs than those 3 muppets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Rhino comes on for last 15 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Ended 3-0. The new players looked good. Only real negative for me was that Rhino had a horrid 15 mins in goal. If Murphy got injured Rhino doesn't look able to cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo'ness Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Decent run-out for the guys, remembering several weren't available today. The new signings Morgan, Syme & Watt are definitely better than anyone we signed last pre-season. I hope we snap up the number 4 from today as he looked a class act, first in central defence, then in central midfield. Dave is right about Rhino though, had at most 4 touches and each one was a muck-up. Was furious with himself but we need a proper back-up for the season ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
