seenitall Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 We were lucky still to be in the game at half time , could have been at least 3 nil . Second half plenty of chances , couldn’t convert and gave away a second . I could have written this scenario many times over the past 5 years . Our squad is too small and lacking a bit of quality in certain positions . 3 games without a goal is worrying though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit the nail on the head. Gemmell is not a centrehalf but with Hawkeye absent he had to fill that role today. You cannot have only 2 Centrehalfs in your squad. There were chances for the BU's today but the BU's were too sloppy with passes/crosses to make them into clear chances. Need to get our mojo back.....and quick.

LongTimeLurker Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 This was always likely to be a challenging season given what happened with Ian Little leaving unexpectedly. Having 15 points in the bag from the first 5 games is the sort of thing that sometimes happens when a new manager comes in until the other teams figure out his tactics.

Nicholas Rage Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Another tough one to take, clearly needing some cutting edge up front. Positive would be Stenhouse looked electric when he came on (though I was on the other side). Porteous is more effective through the middle, off the left he's struggling to get involved in the game.

Costa Crookies Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Start of the season gave us high hopes, but the bubble has burst. Unfortunately todays score line really flattered Bo’ness. Considering the end of last season, a mid table finish this year is again a reasonable expectation. Stuart has shown himself to be a promising manager, with very sensible comments in interviews,and hopefully he will bring things back to an even keel.

Deanburn Dave Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 Fin Malcolm the back up striker wasn't available today. Heard he turned up midweek for training with a broken arm. The result of a fall he claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t say we are not competing in games but it’s the two big ones that’s going wrong , can’t score and giving away goals . Needs sorted quickly or we will be in the bottom half soon .
