    Who told you about Carmichael? Thought it was strange how they had his name on the teamsheet last week, your supposed to put trialist unless the player has signed

    Not saying names but a reliable source.

    Thoughts from yesterday’s game;

    Our best performance of the season (certainly from the games i have been to) Every player that played deserves praise for their performance.  Best team on the pitch by a mile, one error at the back cost us another deserved 3 points.  Dominated for long periods, it was nice to see us finally get the ball down and pass it, we were playing the ball down the wings & there were some really good interchanges between the full backs and wingers.  Deano broke the ball up superbly in the middle all game and Lussaint really ran them ragged through the middle, he has a really good first touch & has good feet for a big guy.  Renyard seemed to be playing all along the forward line, he caused their defence problems all day and was really unlucky not to score.  Smales had an off day in front of goal but he linked well with Renyard at times, he missed two great chances in both half’s and we really should have been out of site by the time they equalised.  Defence all played their part too, Gilly brings plenty of experience, Jack Hunter was immense & young Jack Patrick did really well at RB, Jake Smith had a really good game on the left as well.  Thought everyone did their bit and it’s something we can really build on in the coming weeks!

     

    Quick mention for Dan Wadge, played his last game for us yesterday and is on his way travelling to Australia this week, good luck mate and thanks for your efforts over the past few years, you’ll be missed!

     

    Also can anyone (preferably at the club) shed any light on Dan Carmichael? Included by name last week (not down as a trialist) but knowhere to be seen this week and no mention from the club if he’s signed or not! Be a great addition & a welcome return!

    Great assessment of the game, agree with every point made. Deserved the three points. Good luck to Dan on the travelling will miss him, as he is always consistent performer. Regarding Dan Charmichael, he's not signing, his decision I think.

    Though did Kelty just " switch " off after going 3 up early?

    I wouldn't say they switched off, we played really well and stopped them playing their game.they got frustrated as everything they did, we dealt with. And took the game to them. Just unfortunate they scored 3 early goals, but they are so clinical. If we play like that against the teams around us then we will pick up alot of points.

    Big game for us 4th January against Dalbeattie. 

    Suppose a 3-1 defeat against Kelty is not a disaster. 

    Seems we were improved today.

    Wouldn't be too hard as last week we were a bit of a mess, especially first half.

    Much better performance, despite loss thought we were the better side, and some kelty fans agreed. Alot of passion, fight and hard work were there today. Should have a few additions come the new year. The game against dalbeattie is a must win imo.

    must be struggling for a squad tomorrow posting on f/b today that there is a pitch inspection at 9 am Saturday morning.

    There's been heavy rain at gretna past few days so that's probably why. I know we have a few trialists training with us that will take part tomorrow.

    This was always going to happen as soon as the previous management team had left.  All the players travelling from Manchester, Birmingham etc were never going to stay at the club after Chris's departure.  We had some players away last weekend that are still at the club.  Dan Wadge i believe is going travelling to OZ in the new year and that was going to happen with or without Chris at the helm.  As you say transitional period and i would have faith in Rowan to start bringing players in over the next few games and into the new year.

    Regardless of how you felt about the previous management team you have to move on,  Jon Foley sticking the boot in on social media does not surprise me one bit after what i heard about him at the forum.  

    Good Riddance!

    I am behind the team and Rowan and just hope we can get a squad together that can compete. Got to say its a massive rebuild again at a crucial point in the season.

    Certainly latter is correct.

    Starting XI included 1 triallist outfielder.

    Bench = 1 trialist 'keeper, 1 triallist + 1 signed outfielders.

    I know a few have left that Chris brought to the club. Transition period for us and another rebuild. Let's just hope it's worth it come end of the season. Sad to see some of the players leave though especially Ryan Rogers. Certainly a talent to watch out for.

    Not too hard to guess who it might be.

    It is a shame about Chris,  nice guy doing his first Management gig but that inexperience has cost him.

    And partly our League position. 

    Who do you think it will be? It's sad to Chris and John depart, I really believed in them and wanted them to do well. But football is a results business and unfortunately the results just havent been good enough.

    So if you had posted at midday on Saturday you would have used the Lowland League leaders at that moment?  (Doubt it)

    Brechin fans will be checking the Highland League thread I would have thought.

    C’mon The Rose  

    Why are getting annoyed by a hypothetical example. Sensitive much.
