Under the carpet, ?? Muir amd fraude away im told, 2 decent players
Did Muir play a game ? Froode scored plenty pre season surprised if he has left ,not surprised McQueeny gone not easy with a big squad and no game time , few more to follow I would guess , on a positive note can't wait to make Saturday as long as ma shifts don't change again

Managers view on Lithgi game ?Manager reflects on defeat to Linlithgow
“As far as bad days at the office go, yesterday was right up there. Linlithgow is not the place to be when you choose to have an off day because their team is full of players that will punish every mistake you make and we certainly made plenty.
It’s a difficult game to talk about without being negative or overly critical of the team’s performance, or more to the point, individual performances and quite frankly, I don’t want to be negative.
Is a defeat away to Linlithgow the end of the world? Certainly not. There won’t be many teams coming away from Linlithgow this season with points.
In the first half, I thought we competed well, both before and after we lost the first goal. As the first half drew to a close I actually felt we were getting stronger and coming more into the game.
Speaking at half time, I emphasised just how important the next goal would be and, unfortunately for us, it was Linlithgow that extended their lead, shortly followed by two more. The third goal seemed to suck the life out of us and player’s heads went down, and after that Linlithgow had a field day.
I’m not going to dwell on this result. Sometimes these things happen in football, just look at the Celtic v St Johnstone score yesterday as well. Hopefully the players learn from it and it makes them better players.
Next week we start again, clean slates for everyone, as we get our Scottish Cup campaign off and running.”

CHANGE OF VENUE
Sunday’s match moved to New Tinto Park
Following discussions with Colville Park and the SFA, Sunday’s Scottish Cup First Preliminary Round tie has been moved to New Tinto Park, home of Benburb FC, in Glasgow.
Given the recent rainfall and Blantyre Vics using KG Stadium on Saturday, it was felt that there was a real risk of another postponement, which everyone is keen to avoid.
Kick off remains the same at 2pm, with the bus leaving Ferguson Park at 11:15 sharp. Can everyone who had booked a space on the bus last week let us know as soon as possible if they are needing one this week please.
Good Luck on Sunday for the Welfare

If in this scenario, if it went to a replay at your place it would also be a weekday afternoon so I wouldn't be getting too bullish about it NB.
Lothian Thistle HV v Wigtown & Bladnoch has already fallen victim to an unplayable pitch.
They try again next Saturday, cancelling Penicuik v LTHV in EOS Qualifying Cup R1.Why not just move to a suitable venue then ? plenty astros around ffs

Manager has some decent comments here and accurate on the game as well ,best game ive seen devs play and ross was excellent at the back as well
Manager gives his thoughts on draw with Tranent
“It was great to finally get our season under way last night and what a cracking game to kick it off with too. First of all, we must give credit to all the guys at Tranent. It’s a great set up at Foresters Park and the pitch is looking terrific.
With our game on Saturday postponed, I took the opportunity to watch Tranent play Newtongrange, so I knew we were in for a tough game. Tranent have many tidy players who are good at keeping the ball, so we asked our players to let them keep the ball as much as they like, as long as they did it in front of us.
Unfortunately in the first half the plan didn’t work. Tranent got far too much time down our right hand side, something that ultimately cost us two points. I’m so frustrated with myself for waiting till half time before I made the tactical change. Had I done it when we were 2-0 up, we would have won the game. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I apologised to the players after the game as those dropped points were my fault.
Once we made the tactical change at half time, we looked much more comfortable in the second half. Defensively we looked solid and Tranent didn’t trouble us at all meaning big Yossie had nothing to do.
There were many positives to take from the game, non-more than the effort and fighting spirit shown by the team. Lesser men would have felt sorry for themselves having given up a two goal lead and would have ended up losing the game. However, it was us that should have won the game right at the end, but unfortunately our goal at the death was ruled offside, which was very frustrating.
I’d like to give special mention to Daryl Devlin and Kevin Keane. Both of them were excellent for the whole game and Dev’s finish for our third was right out the top drawer. They have set the standard for themselves and the rest of the lads going forward.
It’s onward to Linlithgow this weekend and hopefully my new found knowledge of my players and team after this game will stand us in good stead moving forward.”

Was a good game last night. Slightly disagree on a draw being a fair result. Apart from the goals whitehill scored I don’t think they had many more chances. I thought half time came at the wrong time for Tranent when we were dominating and if we got another I think the game would have been dead. Poor 2nd half for Tranent but credit to whitehill for not giving in and looked stronger as the game went on.Cant argue , not sure how Welfare got 2 up but all Tranents attacks were down the left and WW did nothing about it , at 3-2 always looked with all their keeping of the ball ww would never get back in it but 2 nd half as it went on they got there
both teams will be unhappy WW were 2-0 up but Tranent should have killed it at 3-2 ,,so a good point for both
word for the official s- Useless

First look at WW this season Newky and quite impressed. A good individual goal by Daryl Devlin 5 mins from time. A decent display against a higher league team who dominated possession but never really threatened. I thought the back four of Somerville, Hamilton, Connell, Keane were excellent. The venue makes K-Park look like the Bernabeu though.
Sounds like a decent team performance , and good signs for next week

If you were a player would you rather play or train ?
More to the point wi the squad hes assembled all players need to be given a chance to state their claim doon for starting regular I'd say.
Exactly , all players need time to give them and the manager the chance to either get in or in some cases be moved on
its all about moulding the squad and then the starting 11 with at least 7 others for cover no body expects welfare to run a squad of 24 as it wont happen ,
players need to / want to play end off some are definite starters some are definitely not , thats the managers job to sort out

V - easthouses
Very easy 5-1 victory
Lilly very very very poor and apart from their scrambled goal didnt bother the stand in keeper ,,,,,,,
Welfare took the chance to rest a lot and play the rest , none really stood out apart from Froud up front , some looked way out their depth sadly
but its all about sorting out the starting 11 , probs be on Saturday for that if all available as some seemingly still injured or on hols
its getting there though

Very comfortable 7 2 victory tonight with goals from Devlin and the impressive Froude (2) with a Kevin Keane bizarre header own goal making it 3 1 at half time.
A few subs in the 2nd half saw 4 further goals,2 from the young lad Connor who impressed when coming on,Muir and Somerville who finished the game off making it 7. 2 offside goals as well could've made it even more but let's no be greedy or even get carried away here it's only pre season after all.
Mark Smith ex ww got the other Craigroyston goal although I felt oor keeper kinda wrong footed himself.
I would like to think the manager plays a few games this season absolutely strolled through the game.
Big squad playing for places obviously but will be difficult keeping everyone happy.
Was good to catch up wi Craigroyston legend John Young and Spartans manager Douglas Samuel as well.
Onwards to Thursday s visit to Easthouses now and from what I've seen (only 2 games right enough) is a squad shaping up well.
Early days mon the welfarrrrre!!!
thanks for the update Newky
glad it went well , a goal fest , perhaps your right on the manager playing more as the other options are at the moment struggling it appears
i would guess the squad will be thinned soon
was lough and mccallum still out ?
shaping up well though
