Yeah looked more solid around the midfield. I've often thought we've lacked in midfield and seemed low on numbers, but today totally competed in there and won that battle. Game was pretty low on quality due to the conditions, but the midfield looked structured and as well as moving us forward, consistently broke up their play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old management wouldn’t play 442 or 451 which the squad is best suited too. When they have played that they have been decent and solid. Whilst I agree it was relatively low quality we didn’t look like conceding (goal was a mistake/ weather), which was pleasing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard on the grapevine that they were interviewing some people but not got any names or details. I’m sure there would be interest as it is a good gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume with the silence so far that there has been plenty of interest in it and enough of them with a suitable enough calibre that interviews are taking a while to get through. Hopefully some news soon. It's a good chance to give a boost to the 2nd half of the season. And as you say, it's a good gig to get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfromafar Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The club have not actively came out and said they are looking to interview for the position so you would assume that Scotty has the gig for the time being. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albynpark Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I reckon Brian McNaughton is helping out or asked to take the job. And Steve Pittman was in attendance on Saturday. Either way I think we'll limp on to the end of the season before a decision is announced. Maybe the target might want to finish the season with who he's with. Who is still in the cups with a smaller team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WL Fitbaw Fan Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Heard from at least 3 local coaches that they’ve tried to enquire about the role without any reply/ success. Take from that what you will, but it looks as though having not advertised they must have their eye on someone. If they’ve already been interviewing hopefully those that have been in contact will get some sort of communication soon and an appointment made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albynpark Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Just announced on Facebook New management team confirmed. Broxburn Athletic are delighted to announce that Stevie Pittman, assisted by Derek McWilliams and Billy McPhee, has today agreed to be the next manager of the club. It’s a trio of former Albyn Park players with all three previously playing for the Athletic. Derek and Stevie moved into management on the back of successful playing careers, playing together at Partick Thistle in the mid-90s, with Pittman counting East Fife, Dundee and a number of American clubs including the Kansas City Wizards and 3 international caps for the United States in his back catalogue. Billy comes to Broxburn from his current roles as Academy administrator at Livingston FC. Welcome to The Brox Stevie, Derek and Billy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Just seen the news too. Nice to have it resolved. I think everyone had a sneaky suspicion that's the way the club were heading. All guys that know the club, so hopefully they hit the ground running and it sees Broxburn making a strong end to the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blowin In the Wind Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Tricky tie away to Preston Athletic in the League cup. Hopefully the new Management will have the team firing on all cylinders by then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 First game today for the new management team. Curious to see how this turns out against a very decent Sauchie side. I'm relatively more optimistic than if this was being played about 3 weeks ago... but let's see! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albynpark Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Early days. I'm writing us off for the game next week, as long as we get better after that. That game has come too soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Jones Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Shouldn’t have got rid of Scott McNaughton! Pittman has been a manager before for Broxburn. Never think it’s a good idea for an ex- to come back. Scott should have been given the rest of the season. No chance than Broxburn would go down, so Scott would have had a great opportunity (or not) over the remaining fixtures to show the committee he was good enough for being given the post permanently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I think he was part of the problem. If he was given it, I would of got behind him but its the right time for a change of direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started his audition for the job playing 3-5-2. That got horsed several times this season even by VOL. It’s like he wasn’t watching what was going on . Nice lad but not up to it. This season is now about building for next year. We have a poor record there so not reading much into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember reason why Pittman left last time? Was it to go to a better/different team, or was he sacked? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had help in the HoB win , who I would take back in a heartbeat but not on their agenda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
