rhliston Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 This Saturday we travel to Ainslie Park the temporary home of Edinburgh City whilst Meadowbank Stadium is rebuilt, to face a City side 2nd bottom of the League 1 point ahead of Cowdenbeath. After the poor performance from us last Saturday against Stenny, I hope that our good form away from home continues and we get the 3 points to stay top of the League and keep our 2 point advantage. City have struggled to score goals this season, whilst we have no problems scoring goals away from home and I expect a tough encounter on Saturday. Just hope Peter MacDonald is fit for this one, as we missed his presence up front last Saturday. If fit fully expect us to win this one by the odd goal or two. Taking nothing for granted from a City side fighting to avoid the bottom spot but think we should have to much up front for them in the likes of Callumn Morrison, Darren Smith and Peter MacDonald if fit.

tamthebam Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 We've signed a striker on "emergency loan"* from the Bairns- Scott Shepherd. Ironic really, as our strikers have been playing like Cybill Shepherd all season. maybe I'll stick a quid on a home win at the current generous odds them. *presumably the emergency being that the others can't hit a coo's erse with a banjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't do much the rest of his loan spell so unless he has IMPROVED don't expect too much from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 We are much better away from home, so fully expecting 3 points. Scott Shepard is awful, no doubt he will score though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dufresne Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Shepard is a good player in the development team but not in the 1st team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Vaughn Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Where should Albion fans head for a pre-match pint? Bus should be arriving about 1pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 There's a watering hole called The Village nearby but I'm told its a bit dear. Still, you Stirling types must be flush with cash... Otherwise it's worth a wee hike to Stockbridge- the Stockbridge Tap does a nice pint. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cement Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Park the bus up on inverleith row and walk through park to Stockbridge tap or the Baillie. Only the Baillie will show the 12.30 games tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Just want to reiterate what others have said about Shepherd, awful is maybe a little harsh on the lad but he certainly didn’t play well during his spell at us.I’ll miss the game due to my sons football but I’d like to think that we will get back to winning ways on Saturday, fingers crossed ????????

beaver1 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I remember Shepherd as a stand out when he was on loan at Brechin. Because he was so bad. But, I saw him play for Falkirk u20 a few weeks ago and couldn’t believe it was the same player. Seems to have bulked up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil McLaughlin is banging them in for Partick Thistle u20's, yet for us (Cowden aside) he hasn't been great. On to this game, hopefully we have Peaso back, he's been our unsung hero this season and without him we look a little lost up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaso is out for up to 6 weeks due to knee injury according to Club website along with Willie Robertson who has a hamstring problem. Doubts over Ross Smith as well, also Scott Davidson also looks to be out. Was looking forward to this game as a win keeps on top but given the injury problems we have don't know what to expect on Saturday, hopefully we can still get the points but it wont be easy with a weakened side.

Can see us losing top spot then, guessing he'll go with this team.

If McLaughlin starts I hope he plays better than on Saturday otherwise we could find ourselves being caught by the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onto another point when is Andy Little back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would be happy with that. Regarding Andy Little no idea when he could return, just have to wait and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
