4-1 Rovers for me. I take Gretna have improved but we should still be winning reasonably comfortably
As for having a go this season I like the look of a couple of the new boys but I dont think we're having a go, it would be daft with EK in the league and the winner takes all nature of it to chuck money at this season. They will just keep buying players every time they lose a game.
If having a go was possible, wait for them to go up or the wheels to fall off

It wasn’t as easy as the score suggests. At 1-0 we were shaky for much of the 2nd half, luckily Gretna lacked a cutting edge but we also relied on Ross to save us a few times. A great team move was then finished off superbly by our no.15 sub (forget his name; signed this morning, apparently) which knocked the stuffing out of Gretna and Michael Paton (another sub) glanced home from a corner a couple of minutes later. Earlier, Barry Duncan scored a carbon copy of his free kick from last season (actually, it was a rubbish effort as the keeper got a hand to it).
Dom McMahon MoM, anything good from Rovers came through him.
On this performance we certainly won’t be challenging for the title, but we might do better than last season.

A real tussle between two average sides before we pulled away against the run of play and the threat of a Gretna equaliser.
Connolly, Fernie, McMahon were my personal stand-outs.
We’ll struggle against *anyone* with pace this season as we’re flat-footed at the back. Gretna exploited this a few times today without taking real advantage, but would imagine the likes of EK, Tranent, and the B teams will put a few away.
IMHO Bright Prince seems to have regressed. I’m just not sure what he offers. Thought Barry Duncan was particularly poor (goal aside) today, too. We need at least 4/5 new signings to improve on last year’s finish - with a striker being priority #1.
Despite his limited pace, Reidy made some really decent interceptions and never gave up. It will be remarkable if he finishes the season.
I noticed that both George and Sandy were listed as “Managers” on the pre-match graphics. Something afoot there? Seems a really odd mistake…

Not there today but would certainly have taken 3-0 despite Gretnas limitations

Personally, I am quite delighted that my team won their first match 3-0 away today. Quite a satisfying result really. Well done to all the players.

1st game of the season away from home,lost 2 thirds of our front 3 from this time last season, we win 3-0 I will take that.
Cracking new home strip as well.
But alas some still find negatives with everything Albion Rovers .
