Deanburn Dave Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 It was West Calder today so not getting too excited but I think the BU's will be OK this season. There was a balance to the side, a bit of creativity and some dig around the pitch. Maybe too much dig for a friendly as Prentice tackle in front of enclosure was probably a red in most matches and there were at least 4 fouls worthy of a yellow card. Overall a good runout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Watched this game today and Boness deservedly won but have to say it`s the best West Calder side I`ve seen . Thought Boness at times tried to play the hard pass when easier options were available but still a good workout for yous . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Referee kit today :- red top black shorts........ exactly the same colours as West Calder !!! Surprised Michael Gemmel didn't tackle him at some point. What was truly baffling was he came out 2nd half with a black top on. Surely he realised his error before KO and should have changed his kit then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referees don’t make errors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Yes a good run out for the BU's today and we still have Snowdon, Hunter, Gray, Keast, McKenzie and Donnelly to return. Only been 1 game but I reckon the 3 new boys Watt, Syme and Morgan will all be looking to be playing in the first team. Syme as a left back will be in the first XI but there's going to be a real battle for the midfield jerseys which is a situation that is long overdue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 If you are asking that question 8 mile you obviously weren't at the game. I’m on holiday so no I wasn’t at the game and that’s why I was asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino was a total bag of nerves.............when the ball went in his box his movement and handling was awful. Defenders and him didn't know what was happening and after a good defensive performance for 75 minutes his nervousness in goal IMO affected the back 4 . The clean sheet was more down to luck and poor finishing than anything else. It's great that Rhino is on the bench "just in case" but he needs to really sharpen up his game and probably lose a few stone if he is to get more game time. On the plus side the new boys look good and it could (I said could) be a decent season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I would still like to see another striker brought in. Don't know position with Marc Kelly this year but if things aren't working out at Accies, I wouldn't mind seeing him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Sure Kegs will bring in another couple of players before the league campaign kicks off. Right back and centrehalf more pressing positions than a striker IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the centre is an area to strengthen and on the back of yesterday alone, the trialist at the back should be signed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4everblue Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Lothian thistle get a bye in Scottish cup,so any slight doubt our league opener was not going to take place has gone,so BU V LVTH in the league goes ahead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the centre is an area to strengthen and on the back of yesterday alone, the trialist at the back should be signed up.Both are good right backs but both their natural positions is centre midfield. Fairly sure Gemmell and Dev feel that way too. Agree that we need to bring in a right back and centre half though. Snowden, Campbell and Hunter need competition, although I’m wondering if Snowden may play in the middle of defence more regularly nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 I heard at the start of last season that Will Snowdon was only being kept on as a back up centrehalf and the new young fullbacks would quickly settle in. Wishful thinking !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 BU v Pollok on Wednesday evening is £5 adults + £2 concessions. Now we are in the big leagues I think that is a bit steep for a game v a junior side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Fishing ? Moi ? First friendly of the season for Pollok so hopefully the BU's will be a tad sharper than them thanks to our game v West Calder. Hopefully we will see more BU players returning to the squad tomorrow refreshed after their holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
