League 2 squad struggle to compete in league one. No shock really. We needed improvement across the squad. We didn't get it. Here we are.... Let's hope the boys can raise themselves for 4 more games.

We did something .. but not enough.. Pretty much sums up the season tbh Plenty effort but a lack of quality

It is what it is...... Always thought there was every chance we would end up here and here we are. I can only.hope we can lift ourselves for another couple of battles. Can I believe I'm going to Dumbarton on a Tuesday night again.....not really. Am I going to do it. .....of course I still believe we can do it. Today was gutting but you just have to pick yourself up and go again....... At least it comes around quick. Let's freaking go.... Another opportunity abounds and we just have to go and take it. We're gonna have to do it the hard way apparently

My sides might have split. .

Well hello again dumbarton... Tuesday night down there again.....

Dumbarton on Tuesday.....of course it is

Bollocks

Hilarious Let's go. Plenty Annan fans in morrisons. Hope that's their highlight of the day

Small boys in black tracksuits running on to the pitch

And it comes down to this... Final day showdown.... no other teams involved. Starting to get excited. When was the last time we had end of season excitement 2 years in a row? Cmon the binos

Aye a big sign on the roundabout would be great. Or could the young team rustle up a flag? I'll be talking up the game in the pub beforehand and see if I can recruit a few too......

i'll be buzzing by 3 pm Saturday guaranteed. the season post mortem will have to wait. it's the biggest game since wait.......... didn't we have a home game late last season against Annan that was quite important? i'm sure i remember one and i think it might have gone ok........ I can't say I'm delighted to be in this position but lets face it before the season began, you'd say win at home on the last day and you definitely stay up, that wasn't exactly that far from my expectation of how the season would go. We just have to win one game......

thanks. i'd been trying to figure it out as well. preference number one would obviously be to beat Annan on Saturday and not have to worry about this. after that, i really, really don't want Peterhead to finish 4th. I can't make Peterhead on a Tuesday night and i doubt it's much better for our players so i'd like to avoid that if possible. Both Spartans and Dumbarton are viable Tuesday night destinations although the thought of another Tuesday night game in Dumbarton gives me PTSD.

i think he's a solid league one player all day.

still gutted we didn't get him back. still think he'd improve our defence.

I'll be bringing at least one extra on Saturday...hopefully two. We had planned to do the full day out for this one regardless but it's funny how things work out. He only comes when it's busy.... The league trophy presentation last year, the Aberdeen game and Falkirk games have been the ones he's come too. Been thinking...comfortable survival would have been great obviously. If you had been given the choice before the season thwt if you won the last game at home you'd definitely stay up,I'd probably have taken that.

Already had plans to get the train through and make a day of it. Now I'm thinking of being in Stirling for opening time. Biggest game for us in a year. Good turnout from us today amd really hope we have a full home stand next week

And it all comes down to a final day showdown. That late goal really shifted things. I hate playing Annan. Think I only remember one decent result against them. Well at least we still have an opportunity. I do have to admit to looking at potential play off trips. The thought of another Tuesday night in Dumbarton gives me PTSD.

The one off the bar was a cracking strike and had me worried. Journey home slightly better at least as well.

Well it wasn't pretty in terms of the football or the view but job done. Shame Falkirk couldn't keep up their end of the bargain but sets it all up for next week. Never coming back here. Dreadful. Fighting traffic to get in late and then realising you got a better view of the pitch from the street than inside

Attacking lineup....

I have to confess I had no intention of going until the seriousness of our plight persuaded me.. Everything I'd heard dissuaded me. Reminds me how lucky we are to have a nice wee stadium suited to our needs. Put covers over the terraces and it would be near perfect. It took me a long time to love Forthbank after Annfield but looking around we are in a far better position than some.

i think you'd have been in the mix with Annan, ourselves and QOS. it certainly might have made for an interesting race. there wasn't a great deal between the teams in the early meeting but i don't think either side had the look of 'comfortable survivors'. i'm still holding out hope of avoiding the drop. it's still in our hands to avoid a play off. even if we do end up there, we get yet another chance. if we end up going down, especially considering what's happened to EC this season then there really is nobody to blame but ourselves. a lot hinges on tomorrow though. i do feel if they can't get it done tomorrow, it becomes harder for them and the supporters to still believe they can. the flip side of that is a good result will see us go into our final day showdown with confidence.

reading back through this is like the way i think about this game. i'm torn between confidence, hope and despair. on one hand, EC are the only team we have managed to beat consistently........on the other hand, we are woeful right now. I'm making the journey with trepidation but some hope.

hopefully this information might be irrelevant by the time it comes around.
