He left EK “to play closer to his young family” i’m sure it was announced by their twitter. A falkirk boy so move makes sense. Thought the BU might’ve had a look at him.

Nicholas Rage Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Still time if he's only a trialist. Though on yesterday's showing I wouldn't be rushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boheesian Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Know Stenhouse was injured but what if any news on Rutherford & Mooney. Good to get updates on players. Good confidence booster for Finn Malcom with his double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Rutherford is undoubtedly a very good player but his appearance rate has been poor. Reminds me of Stewart Devine...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon the BU's ! But will you stay telt? I doubt it. It is a fair point. the average age of the starting 11 yesterday was below 25. We have a young squad, most of them are in their first season together. We are building for the future by extending contracts of those willing and moving on those that aren’t. We should be happy with the league performance. A cup run would be a nice bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Rage Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Given the chaos of the summer, I'm delighted with the work Hunter and co have done. The squad being on the younger side is great and I'm confident in their ability with a full summer of planning to upgrade where they need to, rather than the supermarket sweep when they came in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good confidence booster for Finn Malcom with his double. Mooney away to Tynecastle on loan. Thought he looked like he had something about him in his fleeting performances, and that's one of many reasons why I'm not a football manager.

blue 8 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I am glad to see some of the fans think hunts and Michel are thinking about next season some player will go and some will come in but we must be let them get on with it come on bu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwullieac Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 This season has seen a far lower turnover of players and less 'duds' signed than under previous managers. The smart business of getting extensions sorted early is good to see as well. Hunts and Michael have done an incredible job considering the position they came to the job from . Based on the chaos in the summer my start of season expectation was anywehre from 8th to 12th and theyve certainly blown away that prediction. The fact that in January I'm still keeping an eye on EKs results tells the whole story! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodyWoody Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 On 06/01/2024 at 19:06, Deanburn Dave said: Agree with Nicholas Rage that Musa was lucky to stay on the park. If Musa makes an effort to play the ball and fouls the player in the process then its a penalty and a yellow. But Musa fecked up and decided to haul the player back to stop the clear GSO......zero attempt by Musa to play the ball. That's a straight red. Musa was a very lucky boy. Funny that - I was watching from behind that goal. When I suggested that it had to be a red card I was told by a BU supporter that it wasn't even a foul.

Probably should have been a red card only reason I could see why it wasn't was that McArthur and another i think ended up on the line. Ive seen Shire a few times this season and just can't seem to keep it together for 90 mins. Decent enough going forward in the games I;ve saw. Pyper is the strongest player at the back he went off against Cowden and struggled after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonessBWAH_ Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Russell McLean a.k.a Trialist has signed with Forfar. Was a nice to have for the short duration.

Deanburn Dave Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Don't think the BU fans saw Russell McLean giving anything close to 100% for the BU's. I reckon he was just keeping his fitness ticking over until he got a deal elsewhere sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Jack Ruddy appears to be our new #1 goalkeeper. The new names on the bench are under 20's strikers. Fin Malcolm our only number 9 option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
