Thom & Gerry Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Just for the sake of having a thread! No idea which Elgin will turn up. At our best we could scrape a one goal win, if not, one goal win for Annan. Wind and fiery pitch might help Annan who are not the prettiest to watch but mightily effective.

elginer Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Agree with Thom& Gerry. Our record against Annan is poor and I assume we will be missing Omar today. I will go for a comfortable Annan win but hope I am totally wrong. Will we try some of the fringe players given our season is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Dinna agree season is over. Prize money to be won. Higher up we finish the more money we get. Difficult enough attracting decent players, the more money we have might help and higher finish might make us more attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 That was poor. Can't think of anything else to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elginer Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Annan should have won by more. They are not pretty but are well organised and defend properly. The playoffs will be very unpredictable but I for one would be happy for Annan to progress as we seldom compete with them. More effort from Elgin today but lack of quality and never looked like scoring. Poor crowd perhaps reflecting end of season apathy from the supporters. Quite a few of the players are not good enough and I hope contracts are not offered to them. However getting better players as usual will be difficult given our location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elginer Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 In response to Gordon 9736 I would not offer contracts to Kerr, Loudon,JP ,Sutherland, or McLeish. I would not sign either of the loan players Morrison or Gourlay if they became available. MacIver would do if available. JP has been a loyal servant to Elgin but his playing days are over. He may have a role to play. Possible new manager perhaps? Anyone else have any views on next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Wilson, Cooper, Mchardy, Cameron, Omar, Hester and Mchale signed for next year. I personally would keep McGovern as a squad player but heard he is retiring to Marbella! In an ideal world I would not offer contracts to any of rest, young players exempted. Mcivor has shown promise but think he is being retained by County. That all said there is no point in replacing players unless you can get better in.

gordon9736 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 McGowan is also signeed up for next season. Would keep Bronsky and hopefully he'll be more loyal than Shane was after his operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
