Fair play to VOL who kept going, maybe their level is the division below - where possibly their mistakes wont get punished so often. Nice set up and a decent pint in the bowls club too. Typical holiday weather lol. Did you try the pies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi1977 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Typically the week I can't get along... everything seems to go right for the Brox! Maybe if I stay away more often form may improve.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet last week on his debut but today showed why we bought him. He built up the play for the first goal and settled the nerves. My man of the match. He could be a really good fit for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Sam North was at the game yesterday. I actually know one of the Northern Irish groundhoppers he met, I went with him to Larkhall last week & Cambuslang the week before.

Jordi1977 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) A 2-2 draw today at home against lowly Oakley United. So ends a run of 3 consecutive home games where anything less than 9 points seemed unthinkable... and ended up with just 4 points! I don't actually think Broxburn played too badly today. Created more than enough chances to comfortably win the game. But too many shots were rushed and went way off target and I lost count of the number of goal line clearances and last ditch takles from Oakley that saved them. These last two are something Broxburn could look at and learn from. Hard to say Oakley didn’t deserve their point. There was a proper togetherness about them and while they had much less of the ball, they fought for everything and competed in every area. There was always someone looking to back up/cover their teammate. By contrast, there was a lot of bickering amongst some of the Broxburn players, at least one full argument and a couple of petulant throwing toys out the pram moments. The position Broxburn are in this season is really looking more attitude than ability. Going from what I saw today, Oakley will pick up a few more points before the season ends. I think they know they are gone, but all the players look to have bought into being a unit and fighting for everything and going down with some pride restored. Couple of their players looked pretty decent... liked the look of their number 7, wouldn't mind him in our side if the chance arose.

Blowin In the Wind Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Should have won this one but looking really fragile at the back. Confidence looks a real problem. A couple of wins will be enough to keep us safe but think we let a chance slip today. But for an outstanding save at 1-0 it could have been worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowin In the Wind Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Hard fought victory yesterday in the cup. Nice set up at Preston. Broxburn on top first half but Preston roared back in the second. Good to get through but a tough tie awaits against Sauchie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Typically, Broxburn go and win again when I can't make it along! Seeing as I also won't be able to get to the next couple either, this will confirm if I am a curse to them...! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albynpark Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Terrible performance today. It looks like we've given up and decided to be relegated. you can see who have their eyes on their next club for next season so they don't go for even 70/30 challenges or come to a ball when required. We are too slow on the ball and then caught in possession, but is this because of players just going through the motions and not wanting the ball? Maybe a bit of both With 10 games left, we could easily go on a run and lose all 10 of them. This Tuesday, Linlithgow will be a heavy defeat, surely we won't play 3 upfront against them. Imagine if we do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if we do Serious danger of going down. Can’t blame the current management as they inherited most of the players bar a couple. Last manager got far too long and should have been gone by October. Think it’s a mixture of unhappy players and players not caring but we need a minimum of 6 points to stay up and just can’t see where we are going to get them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passthebaw Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 You're too good to go down, surely! Groundhop Day next Saturday night. A warm welcome awaits you at Olivebank, Musselburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLad Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 They won't go down, other teams around there are worse. Still always amazes me how teams at this level always go from one short term fix to another. And old tried and tested names. The starting point has to be a plan, then pick a manager that Amy be able to deliver it. Not pock a manager and let him have a plan. If that's not the case, you shouldn't be running a football club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
