We have never had a settled team all season through bad luck with injured players  and manager having move players about like today 

We can’t put this season down to bad luck , we simply have been quite awful at times .

Not many players currently should be there next season .

Back to the drawing board .

Give or take the odd season - For what seem like the last 10 years maybe more, BU consistently sign players and build a squad that looks good on paper. But season after season half the squad seem to be made of glass and miss half the season out injured.

Today summed up the BU's luck with injuries this season.  Before the game, McLeod was ruled out with COVID, Grant had a heavy cold and Jamie McCormack, though he turned up and was in the line-up, was clearly in no state to play for the same reason.  Jamie's replacement Hawkins, injured his calf in the warm-up.  The game saw Smith dislocate a knee-cap and his sub Johnston had a terrible head gash that also concussed him.  The young trialist also had to go off with a groin strain.

Blue and White Army says the BU need to "put the money where the mouth is".

With declining attendance levels and inflation costs it's time for a reality check. There's no Mr Big in the background waiting to pump money into the squad for next season for a title challenge. Just now we are a very long way behind Bonnyrigg never mind mega rich Kelty.

Bottom half of the Lowland League but safe from relegation for 2 or 3 seasons is our level. Sad but true.

Thanks for the injury/ illness update Jamboness .

Any word on the whereabouts of Murray "Lord Lucan" Carstairs ?

What's the injury position with left back McCauley and Zander Miller ?

Apart from the injuries - which have been numerous. We’ve had to contend with one of our better signings Jamie McCormack -due to suspensions- missing I think 7 games, Gemmell gate and now Carstairs out in the cold. Also the continual influx of loanees which also doesn’t help. 

We looked yards of the pace in yesterdays match. First goal dreadful defending, 2nd & 3rd defenders posted missing.

Complete rebuild required. Maybe a change of management?

Do Civil Service Strollers have a Mr Big in the background or even much in the way of a regular home support? Agree with the bit about being a long way off from Bonnyrigg Rose and Kelty Hearts levels because of the absence of having somebody kicking lots of money in but think there's still scope to be significantly higher up the table if/when the process squad rebuilding is complete.

CSS have Gary Jardine though.

Calling all P & B mods.....

The BU faithful abide by the mantra "In Max we Trust........where's this rebuild and new manager suggestion coming from ???

Possibility that Johnny Harvey has hacked Boheesians account.
