My MOTM split between Gemmell and Morgan. As Sheep says 3 pts and I agree but the man management in that game was terrible. Hunter6 where are you? Jacobs did indeed seem to twist his knee when his attempted clearance was blocked and no surprise he was subbed. Morgan is an important player for us and pleased he scored - motm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I don't like is the rotation in goals every game. That can't be good for the defence. They need to have a regular number one to work in front of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF trio of Gemmell, Morgan & Jacobs. Just a wee word on Gemmell worked a late shift - he's a fireman - no sleep and turned in his usual top performance. That's committment.

Jambo'ness Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Love him or hate him, Michael Gemmell is a model professional. His will to win is evident in every game. A Bo'ness team with Michael in it is always a better one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 No Dev?? Probably be the first or second name on my team-sheet.Yes no Dev. Don't think his form this season has matched that of last season. Donnelly for me is in the team for his physical presence especially when there's head tennis in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with you Dave. Dev is a trier but this season it's not come off for him yet. Big Doogs is a unit and is perfect to have in the team when playing sides who rely more on muscle than technique. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnelly for me is in the team for his physical presence especially when there's head tennis in midfield. Sorry DD but I think that’s nonsense and totally disagree, especially as we’re only a month into the season. The time to compare his form this season to last will be next May. Dev’s probably the most consistent, dependable and effective player Bo’ness have IMO. It’s frustrating when we have injuries and need to play him at fullback, but he’s always solid playing there too. A midfield three of Dev, Gemmell and Morgan will get the ball down and play the game properly and we shouldn’t be worrying about head-tennis in midfield, even if the opposition are one of those type of teams. I think most BU supporters would love to see Chris Donnelly in the side, myself included, but not in a three man midfield at the expense of Gemmell, Dev or Morgan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo'ness Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The injury to Keast may give both a chance to play. Donnelly may have to play further forward unless we get a new face in up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I understand it was a thigh muscle injury, he felt it go on the penalty run-up. Up to 8 weeks was the estimate I heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, still having a wee peak from time to time but have enough problems at Arthurlie to worry about you guys. Having said that it looks from afar that there are a few of yous just waiting for Stevie to fail . I could understand it if you guys have been successful recently but you haven't. I saw yous last season v Hurlford and thought you were robbed that day. Spoke to a few fans and they seemed happy with what Kegs was doing. Get behind your team for goodness sake, you are actually complaining about an away win. Said what i think and wont be looking in anymore. All the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
