glensmad Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 I think the 4-0 defeat to Kilbirnie in the tournament two weeks ago might have actually worked in our favour yesterday.It possibly made their supporters complacent as they may have been expecting the same again, but I knew that our team that Sunday afternoon would be nothing like the team we would field yesterday (6 changes from the tournament final). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Great result for the Glens.This team will surprise a few and will always score goals.I've said all summer that we will do ok in this league if we can defend well. Going forward we have the players that will hurt any team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supporters possibly being complacent had absolutely no bearing on the result...supporters were not playing and had no influence. Both defences were tank rotten and that made it quite an entertaining game. Kilbirnie created very little during game .Glens dominated the 2nd half and deserved the win possibly should have had a pen also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what the mindset of the players was.You're spot on about the penalty though, how that wasn't given is a mystery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinky Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Glens did well to recover after gifting two very soft goals and hopefully they can improve defensively otherwise their shakey defence could be their achilles heel...that being said I would be more worried if I was a Kilbirnie supporter as aside from their dominance in the opening 20 minutes they were pretty ineffective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have a fit-again Kris Gebbie to return as well after his current holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinky Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Was that said with an element of tongue and cheek?!..wish Kris all the best and hadn't seen him for a few years but he doesn't look very fit to me if you get my drift?!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Another really good result for us tonight and one we thoroughly deserved in my opinion.I think Rob Roy just shaded the first half although we could have been 2-0 up had Simeon put his chance away, instead it was 1-1 not long later.We were by far the better team in the second half though, and it looked like our former goalie JC Hutchison was going to come back to haunt us with his terrific save to deny Simeon again before saving Leyden's penalty as well.But we were relentless to the end, the players believed they could get a winner, and we got our reward with a terrific cross by Simeon and header by McKay in the 93rd minute.A great start for us, and on to Saturday now and another tough one (aren't they all) at home to Largs Thistle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
