Boness United 2024/25


Recommended Posts

Let's talk about the elephant in the room.

Goalkeeper Liam Campbell is totally failing to win over the BU fans I talk to. He appears unable to hold onto the shots, struggles with crosses and has almost no physical presence .

We need to see a much better level of performance from our number 1 if the BU's want to compete on the pitch .

Some good play late in the game when The Dale were tiring.  Stevenson, Irving, Grant and Macaulay were in the midfield looking busy and picking out Porteous and Mitchell.  Should have scored more.

Duffy from centrehalf had a great mazy run with a few 1-2's which saw him in the box but alas the finish was off target. Would have been a cracking goal.

So how good are the BU's for next season ? Here's my out of 10 scores based on the friendlies so far 

Goalkeeper - Not looking good just now.  3/10

Central Defence- Trav and Duffy needs time to gel and get a better understanding....but there's lots of promise there.   7/10

Fullbacks- Stevenson, Macaulay are the real deal 9/10

Defensive midfield:-the brilliant Danny Irving plus one for me.  The problem is who that one is. So far nobody has shone and claimed the jersey. 5/10

Attacking midfield - Porteous and Grant doing well but others like Hamilton and Kennedy have struggled.  5/10

Forwards:- Mitchell looks good with his pace, touch and finish but Fin Malcolm struggles against better defences.  5/10

Lots of work to do for Big Stuart and the BU's.

Think Hamilton is a useful backup and should be retained, Rutherford is beyond done though, couldn't even last half a half at the weekend

Hamilton just returning from a very long time out with a bad injury. Will take a while to find his fitness/form again.
