Stranraer v Annan Athletic

[Clayhole Blue]

Remarkably quiet on here - starting a thread for any post-match chat.

[Cairn Terrier]

First half very poor, Stirling started to play second half and it turned out fairly comfortable. No idea what the penalty was for, officials were poor as usual.
Think we’ll need to play better next week.
Anyway up to 3rd.

Apparently Sonkur was kicked off the ball.

Agree with Cairn Terrier - totally scrappy fare first half with far too many long balls.

Got to grips better after the break and always felt confident after Tam Orr’s opener.

Hard pitch to handle but Annan seemed to cope with it better than we did to begin with. They had a good 15, 20 minute spell where it felt like we couldn’t get out our half. Luckily they never seemed to make this count.

We ended the first half a bit better and took that in to the second. Started playing a bit of football again and manger to create a few chances. 

Andy Stirling looked a threat and starting to show more of the Andy we became accustomed too in previous spells. 
 

Huge fan of Tom Orr and his work rate. Similarities to Craig Malcolm, in the sense that he pesters the opposition the whole time and chases everything. Glad to see he’s getting the goals to reward his efforts. 

Crazy sending off from one of Annans better player. Would say they were still in the game and every chance of at least a draw at the time. 

Now ten unbeaten.  What a difference a year makes.
