Nicholas Rage Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Given the chaos of pre season, that was an accomplished performance. Great starting point to build from for the rest of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Elsewhere: Albion Rovers beat Annan 2-1 in the League Cup, while Cowdenbeath drew 1-1 with Montrose which suggests there is plenty of quality in the LL this season.

Deanburn Dave Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 We blew them away in the first half. We were playing well and looked so solid defensively that Big Musa could have stayed on his holidays a couple of extra days. Second half there were loads of changes so no surprise that we were less effective at times. Overall I am happy with the Fitbaw today.

Bu bri Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 A very comfortable performance today with a threat up front too. After the shambles of the Max Christie I’m happier than I have been for a long while. It’s early days granted but after all the negativity of the last couple of seasons it’s good to get a bit of positivity. Thought we always looked a threat and comfortable at the back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 I heard that Lucas Stenhouse was serving a one game ban today. I also heard that our new signing young Robbie Murdoch will be on loan at HoB until end of 2023. Makes sense for him to get game time at Tier 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Crookies Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Best start to the season in a long time. Best first half in a long time. Great to see so many players attack the goal, rather than look to make a pass. Pity about the attendance, but keep playing like that, and the numbers will improve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Agree that the attendance was poor. We will all have opinions on why the BU support has dwindled. I would say that the main reason was the style of Fitbaw Max and Little were playing was pass pass pass........ with very few chances created. It was dull, dull dull, If Big Hunter's team keep creating lots of chances, keep scoring goals and he can make Newtown Park a fortress the numbers will rise. Yes it would be good to see the old fans back ...........but it would be even better if the club could also attract new fans to the matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bu bri Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Yeah must admit I was disappointed with the crowd. 2 years of underachievement has affected us. Will we ever get them back because if we don’t then we will just stagnate. Hopefully we do and can kick on we were once the best supported side outside the football league. I remember all the big junior cup games back in the day. We used to be a great draw for clubs because of the crowds we brought. I thought when we were going up to lowland league I expected us to have the best gates. So I’ve been bitterly disappointed in that respect since we went up. But we have been a big disappointment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Rage Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 If they keep playing like that folk will hopefully come back, I'm on holiday for the next couple of matches and after today I'm gutted I can't drive down to Berwick on Tuesday night! Never thought I'd be saying that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seenitall Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Well that’s the season started and I was pleasantly surprised with todays performance . Everyone played well and the finish from Porteous for his second goal was class . Ok , there will be stiffer tests but you can only beat what’s in front of you . Poorer second half but this so often happens when the game is basically won at half time . The next two matches will tell us a lot . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Rage Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Thinking back over the game Porteous is going to be worth the ticket price this season alone, goals, great close control, bullying players with his physicality and flying into tackles. Looks like there won't be many quiet moments with him around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 Porteous and Dalziel were fouled a lot yesterday and the referee ignored almost all of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the crowd, I dunno where some of you guys stand but that’s as good a crowd as there’s been in quite a while. You also have to factor in: > It’s July - with Covid now little more than a minor inconvenience, stacks of folk are away holidays abroad again. > Gala brought very few fans. > Sad-act glory hunters who’d rather go watch the other team now since they could beat Armadale and some amateur sides to win their league.
