We take the lead with a wonder goal then concede one a minute later. It’s not good enough and things need to change …soon.

Looking forward to playing East Stirling, Brechin, Berwick and Old Firm colts next season if this continues. Next week v Bonnyrigg is a must win in order for Brian to keep his position IMHO. Lovely guy, but we need points on the board. Big gap starting to appear at bottom of table.

Forfar, Stranraer any team on a bad run must be rubbing their hands when they’ve got us to play.

We certainly miss Berwick/Cowdenbeath/Brechin as our comfort blanket and our bulwark from the lowland league! Difficult to see where we can build a head of steam as everyone else is starting to move away!!

Aye, but were we wearing a nice strip?

I must say we played some excellent attacking football in the first half but it looked like we gave away a penalty in 2 mins but the ref said no. Then in 7 mins Chris Smith in goals needlessly brought down an attacker when the ball was clearly outwith his control and on it's way out for a goal kick. He redeemed himself by tipping the spot-kick round the post. We took the lead in 24 mins when a long pass which the BBC credit to Paton but we thought maybe Ewan Wilson found Charlie Reilly who scored a stonking goal.
Just 2 mins later we lost the equaliser which is not the first time this season we didn't batten down the hatches after scoring. We seemed to be holding our own thereafter but in 78 mins our defence was again beaten to end the scoring at Stranraer 2-1 Rovers.
One positive was that Leighfield was on the bench for this game so perhaps we'll see him back between the sticks sooner rather than later.

It was always a matter of hanging in there for a season or so longer but its looking like this is our last season at this level.
Not really sure what a change of manager will bring but it's safe to say that option is now a vert realistic one.

Thought we deserved a point. We had a really uncertain start but came into the game. The 2 new players both started and did well for their first outings. Reilly’s goal was the highlight of the game. Much better performance than our last game against Forfar. No reason why we can’t get something next week against Bonnyrigg.

Reilly's goal is a cracker. I still think we will come good in the end. [But need to win next week for sure]

Looks like a massive dive for the early penalty!
