Deanburn Dave Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 We started as a 3-4-3. First half:- Trialist goalie as Musa and a new keeper were not available. Beaten by a great shot that keepers just don't save and by a penalty. Otherwise he was fairly solid. Hawkeye, McArthur and a young left footed centrehalf as the back 3. McArthur looked a bit out of sorts -probably because the approach from Tranent to buy him was met by a firm GTF. McCauley and Stevenson as wingbacks worked OK. The trialist 6 and Kyle Johnston as defensive mids worked too. Kyle was my MOTFH (Man of the first half !!). Trialist 11 was out wide and played well. Fin Malcolm was at 9 and worked hard without getting any real breaks, Tom Grant looked a bit of a passenger and/or unfit. Halftime saw 5 changes. Gemmell and Jacobs went into the defensive mid role. there was another 3 subs after that and it was a bit disjointed for a while but the performance improved. Wee John Ward was put on as a left sided centrehalf which presumably was to allow a trialist a chance to play at leftback. The forward who came on to replace Fin Malcolm was looking decent against the tiring LTHV defence. Porteous also looks a good player. Lots of running about and effort but it takes a while for players to get to know how each other play. I understand that half the trialists we saw tonight have signed and the BU's are just waiting on registration before announcing, Overall the MOTM for me was the number 11 trialist ..............and the team gets a C+ grading from me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonessBWAH_ Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Left back for the second half was Shaun Rutherford from Tranent. Think this was mentioned previously on here. No. 6 was John-James Henderson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 Away to Pollok on Saturday. It's probably an hour in the car but if you prefer the train here's the train details:- An Off Peak Day return Linlithgow to Pollokshaws EAST costs £16. (It's a load of Polloks !! as there's Pollokshaws East, Pollokshaws West, Pollokshields East, Pollokshields West !!) Leave Linlithgow at 11:34 ............arrive at Queen Street Glasgow at 12:09 ......... then a wee walk to Glasgow Central for the train to NEWTON The Newton train leaves Glasgow Central at 12:45 and stops at Pollokshaws EAST at 12:56. It's a 2pm kick off so you have an hour for a refreshment or to pop into the big Morrisons for coffee and a bun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonessBWAH_ Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Shaun Rutherford, Fin Malcom, Daniel Irving, Ryan Porteous, Louis Kennedy and JJ Henderson all announced. All look to be good and positive signings ... just hope they last longer than 3 months this time lol. I still wish for another Striker, Centre mid and Centre half, but I’m sure Big Hunts isn’t done just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
