Bo'ness United 2019-2020


Recommended Posts

Totally agree Alan there's a lot of twists ahead.

The BU's are undefeated in the league with 7 wins and 3 draws. We have rode our luck in several games and benefitted from several late goals. I would have no complaints had we dropped several points in the league. We are not playing great football but we are grinding out the points.

What was big Dougie on today?  Had a wee run through their defence in the first half that took me back 10 years.  Also had one cracker tipped over the bar by the 'keeper.

.........and yet there were times today when he was miles off the pace.

Dougie is better running at defences than trying to hold things up. He’s not a box player. Max has obviously other ideas but does anyone know what our best 11 is?

Imo the team that started 6-1 v crossgates and 4-0 v newtongrange

Murphy
Dev snowdon Campbell hunter

Grant Nimmo gemmell morgy

McKenzie Keast

Based on today right would be good value to feature also harsh to leave out Ryan Stevenson

Bo'ness results this season... draws or wins by 1 goal in bold.

Broxburn 1-1 Bo'ness
Dundonald 2-2 Bo'ness

Crossgates 1-6 Bo'ness
Newtongrange 1-5 Bo'ness [AJC]
Bo'ness 4-2 Oakley [EQC]
Jeanfield 0-1 Bo'ness
Musselburgh 3-1 Bo'ness [AJC]
Penicuik 3-3 Bo'ness
Bo'ness 1-2 BSCG (aet) [SCC]

Bo'ness 4-3 Musselburgh
Dunbar 1-2 Bo'ness

Bo'ness 1-0 Sauchie


From memory several of those involved late goals too?

It shows great resilience and belief from a team to fight to the end every time - and to win by the odd goal 6 games running. It might also show an element of riding their luck, tbf.

Could be various alterations to November 23rd. Penicuik v Bo'ness was brought forward (albeit Penicuik will have Scottish Cup R3 tie if they beat Stenhousemuir); Whitehill and Edinburgh United's games will be off due to Alex Jack Cup Final; plus HoB and Tranent's games would be off if Broxburn and Linlithgow beat Cowdenbeath and Stirling Uni respectively.

A fair assessment to be honest. Probably have been riding our luck on occasion, but with players like Michael Gemmell and Devon Jacobs bursting a gut and giving 110% every game, they are guys that instil a fighting spirit in the BU and we are never beaten before the final whistle.

I don't actually believe a 'best 11' exists.  A good manager uses his squad wisely, dependent on form, opponents style etc.  Max is that kind of manager.

The sensible scenario  for Bo’ness on the 23rd would be Edinburgh or HOB,as our trip to Fife is one of the games still to be arranged,Whitehill and Tranent games are already pencilled in
