Deanburn Dave Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 I thought yous were serious about a title challenge this season?Even wee Bo'ness have managed a league winWe had 4 old BU outfield players starting today. Bringing 6 new boys into a team takes time. Max has had to change formations and positions to try and find a formula that wins games. This was always going to be a challenge. The next two games are big. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Signed a lot of players from the league below, which those players didn’t look like getting out of. These players replaced players that were able to challenge in this league and won the league below, it’s pretty self explanatory.That's probably a fair comment on the Camelon 6. Max in an interview when they signed said that the Camelon guys would not walk into the team and would have to work hard and keep developing their game to get in the starting line up. However most of them have had plenty of game time as our better** signings Cunningham, Galbraith and Darren McCormack have hardly kicked a ball. Jamie McCormack looks like being a very good signing based on his performances to date.**like every fan I always think the players that are unavailable are the ones who would make a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmell epitomises all that was great about the team over the last couple of seasons, after losing so many of that team and when Hunters not fit, then it’s a mistake to leave his experience on the bench. Looks like it could be a long season. Hopefully they turn it around soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolly Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 He started the season well and got praised by the commentator on Rangers TV along with Murphy last week. Definitely need him and Hunter in the team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often were we caught in possession with playing short balls in tight areas. Again after we had equalised we lost what was to be the winning goal by committing defensive suicide. I know it’s early days in the season but at this rate it’s gonna be a rollercoaster. Two players out injured - Galbraith & D McCormack - plus Hunter to recover from COVID should strengthen the squad when ready but will it be enough? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 BU Facebook has the post match interview with Max Christie.Max thought we played some good football but we gave away two soft goals. Didn't mention the fact that Dalbeattie Star could and should have scored a couple more. He said Hunter will be out of COVID isolation for Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 Max makes the point that Stuart is a natural defender who sees the danger and pulls in players to cover. The Dalbeattie Star centre forward gave our 2 central defenders a sound thrashing yesterday.......he may be 39 but BigGameHunter would have handled that situation far better.........and to think big Stuart "retired" all those years ago !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Stuart retired at end of 16/17, he was not adequately replaced. Hassan Nyang came in but he was injured more often than not. Our signings didn't inspire confidence, remember the Hamilton 4? The Camelon contingent have already given more. It was the season of Scott Sally, Jack Wilson and worst of all, Jordan Cropley.. I remember Hunter coming out of retirement to save our season and his first game at Lochee! Maybe we could get Jacobs and Campbell to change their minds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 BU had an unused young substitute on Saturday called Allan. I checked out google. I think it's Jamie Allan, midfielder from East Fife under 20's .....anyone confirm ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wasn’t too keen on Flynn in that ‘10’ role albeit he didn’t play badly or anything. Comrie seemed to be the only sitting midfielder and Gemmell alongside him would’ve offered the defence some additional (and much needed) protection.
