Good day for Broxburn but think you are talking nonsense. Still a lot of football to be played. Yes they are in the box seat but they finish the season with 4 away games. Today could have gone either way and the last couple of away games against IHS and Edinburgh United they struggled big time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Broxburn have still to play St Andrews home-n-away, Stirling University EOS home-n-away, plus Craigroyston and Ormiston both away. No guarantee of maximum points. Equally if Jeanfield and Linlithgow share-out points in their 2 encounters that'd help Broxburn immensely. Incidentally:Sat 29th Sep Ormiston 1-11 Linlithgow Rose Sat 16th Feb Linlithgow Rose 3-3 Ormiston that's some turnaround in 4 months!

GordonS Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 It's Broxburn's to lose. They can lose it, but they shouldn't, and I don't think they will. If Linlithgow don't win every game Broxburn can afford to lose one of their matches. IMO today is Rose's most painful result since losing to Banks O'Dee in the big Scottish 18 months ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 5 of our remaining 7 games against teams in the top 3 we're going to need to create a couple of upsets to have a chance. I really hope results go our way and we can set up a winner takes all game against Preston on the last day of the season. As for the top I can't see Broxburn dropping too many points from here. Definitely theirs to lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Huge day for Broxburn yesterday and the stars seems to be aligning nicely for them. Its theirs to lose. That said, that's three times I've saw them this season and I've yet to be impressed. We'll beaten by Camelon in the cup semi, linlithgow were the better team when Broxburn won 4-3, and Jeanfield were the better side yesterday. Broxburn may well drop points in the run in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two things that worry me. One is we finish with four away games and two we play two teams twice. If we win the home games comfortably then there is a real danger of complacency setting in for the away games as I think happened to Lithgae yesterday. It has happened a couple of times this season and only Broxburns knack of scoring late goals has prevented them dropping points to teams near the foot of the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxburn were poor against Camelon in the cup but there wasn’t much between them and Linlithgow - both sides missed good chances so could have gone either way. Yesterday though I thought they deserved the win. Technically - Jeanfield are the best side I’ve seen this season but you would expect that from a Team provided 5 Scotland futsal internationalists. However in terms of chances Broxburn could have been 4-1 up at halftime as they missed 3 gilt edged chances in the first half and scored what looked like a perfectly good goal just before they scored the winner. Yes there was a player offside but he was nowhere near the ball. What has impressed me has been the fact that they are a very small squad and have had to cope with numerous injuries this season. Yesterday was the first time since the beginning of the season they had anything near like a full squad since the first day of the season. They have battled hard with unfit players and players playing out of position. Maybe the stars are aligning but that would be unusual for Broxburn so I still have the fear in me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some valid points about yesterday's match. Broxburn did make more guilt edged chances over the piece. I was just so impressed with Jeanfield's neat, intricate passing play and some of their players dribbling skills - great to watch. For the avoidance of doubt, I wish Broxburn no harm. Very hospitable club - and great pies to boot! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
