dee_62 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 One of my favourite away trips. Looks like roadworks may impact the journey time this weekend though. Traffic Scotland reporting that the A77 to be closed and diversion from Girvan to Newton Stewart and into Stranraer on the A75. Better option just to travel down the M74/A74(M) towards Dumfries? Anyone? As for the match... After a positive couple of games, last night was a real step back in terms of performance. We did create a few chances and the opening 20 minutes looked quite good until they scored. (probably a reversal of the earlier game at the Glebe). After that...defensively we were poor (and I mean that as a team rather than just the back 4/5). Not sure about suspensions/injuries for us yet (will wait to see) although Yano & Travis are probably out. Not sure about Dunlop. Kennedy hopefully back too. Stranraer seem to be very hit and miss with their results at the moment. We just need to hope we catch them on an off day! 'mon the Loons - for a sneaky wee away win - 1-0 (Ryan) crowd 450 50/50 to finally be won by me £240.00 Pies to be tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue1870 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 A77 to close over March weekend with Newton Stewart diversion. Almost £200,000 of maintenance will see the A77 south of Ardwell close over the weekend of Friday to Monday March 11-14. Dates for two other weekends of closures are being consulted locally and will be announced as soon as possible. The resurfacing works will repair defects to the existing road surface near to Shallochpark Roundabout near Girvan. To carry out these works safely there will be a total road closure in place over the weekend from 8pm on Friday March 11 through to 6am on Monday March 14. Road users should travel along the A714 to Newton Stewart before taking the A75 back towards Stranraer. The route is for both northbound and southbound movements.

Brilliant - wish I'd taken a screenshot of the trafficscotland map - I was positive it said this Friday earlier today!!! Good news though. Cheers.

Not good news for travelling fans , is it possible to take the 714 to barrhill then head for Colmonell which brings you back onto the A77 just north of ballantrae ...this would only add about 20 mins to your journey , I know this route well but the police don't like sending big lorries down this route so they may shut it for everyone ..if not its the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victormeldrew Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Now we are back down to earth with a bump there are a few questions to answer. 1) Can we cobble together a back four. 2) What is our best mid field four. 3)Should we stick with our captain-appoint TOB- drop captain to bench. 4) Accept the fact that Foxy is best as a 30min impact sub. 5) Can we pick up any points on Saturday?

Blue1870 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Just to remind you as I said in my earlier post the a77 is open this weekend. The diversion would be necessary for Stranraer fans heading up the road the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerhouse7 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Team I'd play is... Hill Spark TOB Dunlop(if fit) Kennedy Hay Hodge Foxy Denholm Martin Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Couple of options maybe (Depending on Dunlop's fitness).... Standard 4-4-2 Hill Spark Dunlop TOB Kennedy DD Martin Foxy Swanks Craig Ryan or 3-5-2 / 3-4-1-2 Hill Spark TOB Kennedy Kader Martin Foxy DD Swanks Craig Ryan 4-4-2 seems the likeliest and if Dunlop's not fit, the options for a second centre half are limited - don't know if Spark can play there. Derek Young could fill in at right back or even drop to centre half I suppose. 3-5-2 would need the wingers to put in a real shift covering back and if Swanks is in the middle we might need Young or Hodge to hold (in place of Foxy) Who knows!!

victormeldrew Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Looks like we're going for the "we'll score one more than you" plan. Better to go for it than hope for a draw. Will G.B. be as positive with his team selection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
