Where to start. Kell clearly took a gamble with starting line up and resting a few of what you would consider starters, however no one can legislate for the chances we missed, and the red card. That being said we should have won the game and didn’t, but hopefully a timely kick up the butt that we can take nothing for granted in this league.

After a great start, we created quite a few more great chances but were the opposite of clinical with our finishing. Then the goals we conceded - from the highlights it looks to me like the keeper could have done better at both? Looks like Mullen’s red card was for saying something to the ref.

I can see why Kell thought we should have been out of site, Jeez talk about not taking chances! Ach well, sort it out for Saturday eh!

Never trust the BBC they do not like us.

Some decent postings on the P&B this week. Got the usual ‘rotten ref’, ‘just sat in’ and ‘didn’t deserve to loose’ mutterings. A few however are looking at things from a perspective of what is needed if and when we get promoted. Whilst that’s still a bit presumptuous there’s a good reason to think we should at least be prepared to play at that level. In the event we get there, then Charlie Bhoy will (I hope), will put aside emotional leanings (ie R Foran syndrome), and look with a cold-eye on what is needed to not come straight back down. For me just about every team in this league (div 3 to me), would be immediately relegated from the Championship, (for player quality, management structure, finance & fan base). The measure for what is required to stay in the Championship cannot be taken from our performances and results this season. I won’t mention any position or player here, however one feature I believe we will require to increase is the physical part. Some current players tick this box. There are positions however that will be quickly found out in the Championship and need addressed. Let’s see where we are in April, but we should avoid ‘doing a Labour’ if we get promoted. bc

We dominated possession from start to finish but couldn’t create clear chances, lacked sharpness and soon ran out of ideas. We could’ve played all night and wouldn't have scored. Even in the last 10 minutes against 10 men we had little to offer in the final third except the same predictable stuff we’d been doing all match. Stenny were organised but did nothing special and all they had to do was do the basics well to keep us at bay. So we didn’t do enough to win but shouldn’t have lost either. The soft goal we conceded was a rare foray from them into our box, and I think the defending and goalkeeping should have been better as they fired the ball through the keeper from a tight angle. Today was so disappointing after our recent good form and attacking prowess.

JUSTICE FOR ZIMBA!!!!! FREE THE BENCHED ONE!!!!

Once again we only lose to the teams that are just about within reach of us.

Maybe we can get some more of this
