Annan Athletic Thread 2021/22


Recommended Posts

Finally got the dial up connection restored and think the time is right for a new thread for the Galabank Galacticos!

Looking to forward to the new season starting (once the euros are out of the way) and really believe that this will be a league that any team can win , or finish as team 42. Would hope to see us challenge up top and our form certainly improved at the tail end of the season once we finally won a game at home.

On the playing front so far the ones that have put crayon to paper are 

Defence

Cammy Clark – Matty Douglas – Jordan Lowdon- Steven Swinglehurst

Midfield

Owen Moxon – Jack Pardue – Lewis Hunter – Kyle Fleming – Dominic Docherty

Forwards

Tony Wallace – Aidan Smith – Tommy Goss- Ian Anderson

No keeper signed up yet but can't see any reason for Alex Mitchell to go elsewhere , unless his day job commitments interfere.

Happy with new/improved  management team of Peter Murphy & Colin McMenamin. In fact delighted to see Colin return to Galabank back to where it all started for him and am sure that he will help the young uns up front.  Wondering if they will both register as players ? their combined experience at different ends of the park could prove invaluable .

Pre Season Friendlies 

Three BCD games lined up against Atherton Colleries  - Dalbeattie Star – Queen of the South. Surprised to be playing Queens when we have got a "proper" game with them in the "dontknowwhatitscalledthiseffingyear" trophy but hey ho...

Anyway looking forward to getting back into games - socially distanced and masked up- and after being three down at half time would much rather spend the second half in the club!

Really didn't see that happening. Some mileage in that Northern league which bizarrely includes the the like of Hereford and Gloucester! Can't see it being easy fitting in with his teaching job in Carlisle.

Two keepers now urgently needed...

Wouldn’t be a surprise to see Jack Leighfield signing.

Cracking game at Galabank yesterday. Lively first half with both sides threatening. Matty Yates impressive as always, good battling for Stranraer's first goal. There's always doubts about Aidan Smith against big physical defenders, but fair play to him for hassling and chasing down Sonkur and Robertson for his goal, good finish too.

Obviously the red card at the end of the first half changed things, but from what I could see I think the officials got it right. Stranraer defended well with 10 but the game really came to life when Annan changed formation with 15 minutes to go - 3 at the back but with only one of them a centre half. Credit to Jamie Hamill for noticing this and going for it, despite being a man down.

I though Stranraer had gone ahead with possibly their first attack of the half, didn't think Yates was offside. When they did score, you couldn't grudge it, but excellent equaliser by Moxon, who I thought had a great game dictating play from slightly deeper than usual.

It won't be very often that a visiting manager can say he's gutted with a point after playing more than half the game with 10 men. Credit to Stranraer for making the last 15 minutes feel like a cup replay.

From where I was standing couldn’t see why the Stranraer player got the red card.
