Deanburn Dave Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 0-0 at halftime. BU the better team and had the best chances. Penalty was Rutherford's attempted challenge as the Rovers striker had a rare run into the box. The penalty attempt saw a really slow run up and Musa staying upright.......Musa didn't show his intention and the Albion striker hit a weak effort to Musa's right and the keeper was on it like a hungry dog on a sausage. BU's need to be more clinical in the second half. Mon the BU's !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 0-1 to Albion. McArthur tried to dribble out of trouble and lost it. Good player but we all knew his over confidence would cost a goal at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Rage Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Play that game ten times you win eight, lose one and draw one. Tough to take but team need to dust themselves down and bounce back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 The BU's had most of the chances but almost every one was straight at the Rovers keeper. McArthur looked knackered but still thought he could dribble out of trouble. I like confidence but Lewis was overconfident and it cost us a goal. I thought the Rovers red card would force them to defend but they had some of their best chances with 10 men. Last 10-15 minutes was all a bit frantic and feisty. Lots happening at both ends with both teams at "the dark arts". Despite us losing I actually enjoyed the game as a contest. Roll on Saturday........

seenitall Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Great match , BU very unfortunate but you can’t give gifts . Still , we looked good and played at a good tempo and looks promising that we can play like that now . Albion Rovers are a very decent side though .

Deanburn Dave Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 I know I sound like a broken record but we really need a third centrehalf. Hawkins and McArthur cannot play every minute of every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bu bri Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Disappointed we could have played all night and not scored. Maybe a wee reality check for us. I was enjoying the dream though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Rage Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Was an absolute blast of a game to watch and great to go toe to toe with a team that will expect to be near the top at the end of the season. Lots of games to go, nights like that'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good game as a neutral as well as scooping the top prize at the half time raffle. Big number 12 when he came on looked a handful Boness played some good football but had no luck in front of goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if keep nurturing him and Joe they'll come on. Big arnie was brilliant at the back last night looked a lot leaner than when he was with us at camelon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
