FairWeatherFan Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 29 minutes ago, lowenan said: True, a unique situation, with both teams coming from above and below being weaker, due to how the league was made this season with the strongest EOS teams, and the bottom teams in the SLFL not being that strong compared to the EOS Premier sides at the moment. Nature of the beast. The EoS Premier is arguably the strongest it ever will be. Chances are this year you're replacing the EoS Premier champion with either bottom of the LL (hasn't gone well for Hawick, Preston or WW so far) or the 4th best side from the EoS First. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Certainly far too early to predict a winner from the top half dozen or so. Less than a quarter of the season gone and management changes abound already. All you can really do in this League is take one game at a time. It's a cracking division! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hip Priest Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Notwithstanding the fact we're top of the league - a possibly false position, given some others have played fewer games - Bo'ness have to be the happiest so far. Unbeaten after 40% of our away schedule, and off to a winning start at home. The only points dropped have been in draws at teams currently, and likely to finish, in the top half. But losing at a hitherto hapless Musselburgh in the Alex Jack shows the capacity is there for bonkers results, so the "chasing pack" don't need to abandon hope just yet... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Bo'ness must be pretty happy with situation. They may only have won 4 from 7 - but to be unbeaten and top, having only played 1 home game, is very good going. In addition... of their 3 draws - 2 came against last season's conference winners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Camelon seem to have surged up the table over the last month.

Should do. 5 of the top 8 already licenced. Tranent and Camelon last year only needed floodlights. Bo'ness I suppose are the only unknown but should be able to meet the criteria. It's only how hard the SFA stick to the change of timings of the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranent I can see getting lights up in time with groundwork done and planning permission, not heard anything recently from Camelon. Hopefully the Bo'ness committee are spurned into action now they have a competitive team and lights! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
