Strictly speaking, no - they and Broxburn could both reach 66pts by winning all their remaining games (they've now met twice). However they do have a far better GD currently. Linlithgow's remaining games are:Sat 19 Jan Heriot-Watt Uni (H) Sat 26 Jan Stirling Uni EOS (A) Sat 02 Feb Inverkeithing (H) Sat 09 Feb Craigroyston (A) Sat 16 Feb Ormiston (H) Sat 23 Feb Edinburgh Utd (A) Sat 02 Mar KC R2 - Tweedmouth (A) Sat 09 Mar St Andrews (H) Sat 16 Mar Blackburn (A) Sat 23 Mar KC R3 Sat 30 Mar Jeanfield (H) Sat 06 Apr Sat 13 Apr KC R4 Sat 20 Apr date tbc Jeanfield (A) date tbc St Andrews (A) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Was the keeper to blame for any of the goals?No. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker2 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 A can see the rose racking up a fair amount of goals in the next 6 games! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker2 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 A don’t mean this in a negative way but the rose only ever play one way and that’s attacking they don’t seem to be able to shut up shop and see games out which is surprising given the experience in the team! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanCamelonfan Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Broxburn only have Jeanfield to play at home. The rose have to play them twice. That could be what tips the league either way. Obviously can't discount Jeanfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably agree with that but in the same breath i thought the Rose would have beat Broxburn today. I thought the two games we played against Broxburn they were a decent side but didn't think they'd beat the Rose and they did so who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 3 x 4 goal defeats and 1 x 5 goal defeat.Camelon is the only blank sheet against ex junior opposition.Defensively we need to improve in the bigger games.Wasn't it 3-0 last time we played Broxburn?At the start of the season we couldn't keep weans out a close. The addition of Barbour helped enormously, he does a good job protecting the central defence and we've been getting more clean sheets but it's papering over the cracks, the problems are still there and they were exposed today. It's hard to tell when everything's happening at full speed but it looked to me like Gray's positioning was at fault for three goals, including the penalty. He was AWOL for the first goal and there was too much space between him and the centre halves. That said, it's hard to tell who's at fault without knowing what they'd been told to do.We were horribly vulnerable at set pieces too, we could have conceeded more from them.Although the game could've gone either way, I felt Broxburn wanted it a little more, certainly in the first half. They fought hard and though they clearly didn't have the better players, I thought they deserved at least a point and probably did more to win the game than Rose.Weather wasn't the best, yet by the end I'd stopped noticing. It was a pot-boiler of a match, brewing up to a tumultuous conclusion. If you have to lose, you want to lose like that.I might take pelters for this, but I thought the ref had a decent game .Oh, and the pitch is shite, first time I've been there since it was laid, but I don't think it affected the outcome. The pavilion looks great though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It's way to tight at the top to say it's one team's to lose. There are four teams right in it and any one of them could win. I think it'll go right to the last day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanfield depends on their scores with the big 3 and if they drop points against anyone else. The game on Groundhop day could be massive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insideinfo Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Some game. Broxburn keeper man of match. Made 4 or 5 very good saves.Sounds a cracking game.Does the young lad not cover games anymore? Can't find many games from this season on you tube. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Broxburn is a tough place to go, probably the fixture I'd have highlighted as the hardest away game. Closely followed by Camelon and Jeanfield.Our squad isn't good enough to do much damage this year.We've a chance of winning conference C but if we were in any of the other two we'd be off the pace.Id say we've won all the games we'd expect to win this year in all home games and all away in the league save the ones I mentioned before.That's a good basis for a season but unfortunately apart from that we haven't won a single game that turn you into champions.I personally would like to see us stay I the EoS this year to rekindle some rapport with the support and give the remit to the management team that next season we must win the league. No excuses.Transition season so we are in a decent position, but let's be honest if we don't come in the top five it would be the worst season in our history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
