With 3 senior players not available today we still got 3 points not one of our best game but at the end of the day  is 3points in the bag roll on next Saturday hopefully the boy's will turn on the style

Happy we won but  didn’t give a lot of confidence going into next week’s game. Unfortunately the three senior players who were not available, are important to the spine of the team and hopefully will be available for the Morton game.

Agree definitely one short in front of the back four but pussyfooting around at the back led to two of their goals. I know it looks good playing it out from the back but get caught as they did led to 2 of their goals.

 

Too many managers think they are coaching man City.  Stop watching match of the day for ideas

Agree...

Playing out from the back once or twice in a game is OK if the opposition is not expecting it but Morton will have had us watched and will be setting up traps to nick the ball if we try to play it out.

Don’t think it’s something we’ve been guilty off too much this season. Feel some of our best performances have been when the opposition are more  possession based (Darvel, Celtic B, EK spring to mind). It’s more when we are forced to create chances it seems we end up giving them away.
 

On the whole we seem comfortable when the opposition team have more of the ball which is going to be the case next weekend.

The worry is the goals conceded , 9 in 3 games and a lot of them have been bad goals to concede . It’s all very well thinking we scored 11 .

Against a team like Morton we won’t get many chances so can’t afford to gift goals , not even one .

We are going to have to defend well and who knows , shocks are there to be made .

Good luck boys on Saturday , make us proud .

Craig Napier will be the referee on Saturday.

........the same Craig Napier that red carded Big Hunter at Rutherglen Glencairn for his goal celebration.

He can only have improved since then. In his defence he was equally bad for both sides. An “it’s all about me” ref.

Do we know roughly how many people are heading through?

Believe there was meant to be 3 supporters buses for Luncarty the first time round. Haven’t heard much this time.

Seen a good few people looking for space on buses but doesn’t seem to be anything available. Not sure how many are heading through but could be a good few not going as a result.

Greenock weather forecast for KO is 4C tomorrow with the wind chill making it feel a chilly 2C.  Hopefully the game is exciting enough to get the blood of the BU fans pumping.

Mon the BU's !!!

The current conditions are about -1 with zero wind and gin clear skies. I'd say wrapping up warm tomorrow might only be the best case scenario tbh.
