Elgin Macca Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 After our defeat to Clyde this feels like a huge game. A loss here and we are right back in the sh*t. I'm hoping our home form will drag us through this game but could go either way I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1993 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 More confident team is good enough now to pick up the required points before the end of season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I'm still confident that we're good enough to pull away from the bottom, but another disappointing result or two and we'll back in trouble. A win on Saturday would be a big boost as we'd overtake Bonnyrigg as well as either overtaking Forfar or pulling away from Clyde. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macclyde+ Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Personally I don't think Elgin will be in the bottom 2 by the end of the season, and I would be surprised if they don't take 3 points on Saturday. They have impressed me the last couple of times we've played, in particular Golding and Gallagher. I'm hopeful that we can catch Bonnyrigg, however we need to take care of ourselves first and foremost and not rely on other teams dropping points ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Elgin City Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Huge game tomorrow. We have massively improved lately but the problem is so have all of the teams near the bottom. Lose tomorrow and we are deep in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravehearts dad Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Last trip to the Highlands this season for The Rose and so far not very profitable, so hopefully that can change today. We salvaged a deserved point at the end of the game on Tuesday after the assault on Brad for the penalty. It was great to see Kieron score a well taken opportunity and hope he can go on a scoring run till the end of the season. Again first goal all important again. C’mon The Rose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyMelon Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Well done City. Deserved three points and could have been more than 1-0 today, with a few great chances stopped. Really glad Dangana is finding his feet now, his goal was smashing too. Though no 10 was good for Bonnyrigg. Pretty stop start game with the ref letting very little go 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broonaldo Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Another great trip to Borough Briggs, with the game OK. Both teams went for it but Elgin definitely had the best chances - their #9 and #10 looking particularly sharp. Thought Gormley and Mercer were decent in defence considering it was their first pairing. Paddy in goal was immense (again!!), thank goodness for him. The banter from the Elgin fans in the stands was brilliant, just a pity our goal was ruled out for handball - looked a good goal from where I was sitting ….. on to next week and a real 6 pointer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Great win for City, and with Clyde and Stranraer losing gives them a bit of wriggle room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Another game we made more difficult than it needed to be by not taking our chances. First half Bonnyrigg looked quite dangerous at times but second we were dominant with the wind behind and Dayshonne causing them constant problems. Jeffreys looks a very tidy player and adds to what must be one of the most composed sides on the ball in the league just now. Booth was really good again. Reminds me a bit of Archie Macphee as a left back in that his confidence will sometimes cause him to overplay, but overall it's worth it. He won a lot of headers against much bigger opponents too. Pleased for Dangana getting man of the match though. Thought he had Mailer on toast for most of it and took his goal brilliantly. Plenty big games still to come, with the next few being a real chance to climb the table further. With the way Hale has us playing I think we've got a good chance of doing that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahem....just sayin !I I have a feeling Elgin did us a massive favour yesterday. Realistically we now have to beat Bonnyrigg next week to stand a chance of avoiding the play-offs, and I do believe it's now a 2 horse race. Amazing how a new manager can change a clubs fortunes, Elgin were probably favourites to finish bottom prior to Hale coming in, he's done a great job so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strange comment in my opinion. Both teams got new managers roughly at the same time with your choice being a very experienced man. Also why would we have been favourites to go down as we'd only been bottom for about three games (on goal difference from Clyde who'd played a game more) whereas Clyde to returned bottom and have been in that position for the past sixteen games. We were four points clear of Clyde when Hale took over. Are we still in danger of being bottom? Most definitely. Favourites? Nope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1993 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I get what the Clyde lad is saying. I think without the change of Manager, with the squad we had, there was not a chance in hell we would not have finished bottom. Fair play to Hale for what he has done but maybe not a popular opinion , I think credit is also due to the board who have obviously backed him. A lot still to play for though and nothing done and dusted yet. Any of the bottom 4 or 5 could go on a run one way or the other. Suspensions and injuries can greatly affect a team at this stage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee man the jackass Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 No noise from the Rosey boys. Looks like time is running out. The train is out of steam and their fans have given up. Back down where you belong as soon as The Bully Wee send you packing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
