Bit disappointed only to get one point against ten men Glenafton but it's an improvement on last season where Glenafton defeated us twice by one goal. The Glenafton keeper made a terrific save from Darren Jones in second half but Glenafton actually had better opportunities with ten men.

Big game this weekend against Kilwinning Rangers now at home who have started well in the league.

I agree with rambler in that pre game I would have taken the point however after the sending off was really hoping we would push on for the win. Have to say Glenafton were well organised with the 10 men and had some right good chances themselves to win it at the end. 

 

Good competitive game and when you step back and take a look at the big picture it’s great that Meadow are big in the big leagues and going to places like Glenafton and competing. Huge steps forward over the past couple of years. 

 

What a start to the season from Jones, puts in some shift every week, and what a leap he has on him, Great header for the goal. Would like to see Sharpe given a chance to partner him up top. 

 

On to Kilwinning next, fingers crossed we continue the good form against them.

The progress Meadow have made on the field in such a short space of time can’t be denied. Back to being a tough fixture for any team. Credit to the club.
A few of the Glenafton fans beside us were saying it's the worse Meadow team they have seen. I was like you must have missed the games against us when we got relegated just 4 years ago.

We have good bunch of lads who battle away and give 110% every game. Hopefully try to finish top half again this season and go further in the big cups.

I’ve heard that more or less every season since I started supporting Meadow. Do some folk expect us to play like Barcelona? But aye, The team that got us relegated 4 years ago was by far the worst considering some of the players we had playing for us then.

Buffs deserved their win today.  We were flattered by 1 - 2 defeat. We created very little, but bad as we played were still in the game at 1 - 2. Buffs were the better team and deserved their win. 

Early in the season but we have been unlucky with injuries to key players.

Same excuse as last season. Manager hasn’t strengthened in areas we need to strengthen.

 

Our best striker was left on the bench, our most creative midfielder wasn’t even on today’s squad.

 

The game was lost before the kick off.

Great back to back wins to get back on track following the defeat to Kilwinning. Thought it was back to the Meadow of last year on Sunday with a real stout defensive showing. Unfortunate with Jordo’s sending off, with an appeal failing and an additional 2 games tacked on it does feel very harsh considering the Beith player was the man at fault. 

 

Good display aswell last night against a decent Rossvale team. Though Rossvale knocked the ball about well without threatening too much, Meadow CB’s seemed quite comfortable. Thought the left back and left winger for Rossvale were very decent. 

 

On too the Derby tomorrow night, hopefully get a few players back soon as with 6 out injured on Sunday and 5 out injured last night + Jordo’s suspension.

Hopefully Darren Jones isn't too far away seen he was warming up with squad last two games. Expect both the youngsters - Woods & Wells to play tomorrow plus McGuire, Spence and at least a couple of trailist's. Hopefully do enough to win since Vics beat us two years ago then an important home game v Kilbirnie next weekend.

A good run of results recently in particular the win against Hurlford at the weekend puts us up to 2nd. I don't expect us to stay in 2nd but got some important points on board to get us as far away from relegation zone as possible.

 

Our Macron Scottish Junior Cup 2nd Round game is off and we will get a bye to 3rd Round as unfortunately Peterhead team Buchanhaven Hearts are unable to field a team. It will let our injuries clear up before a tough game v Rutherglen Glencairn away, although a few goals at the weekend and a win would have been far better than getting a bye and would have gave our strikers coming back from injury and good opportunity to get their confidence up.
