Captain Warren doing his job.

Draper has scored , we are on our way now 1 - 1

Not the starting line up that I expected but certainly interesting...good bench too. David Raven unavailable ?

H T: 0 - 2 F T: 0 - 4 1st. ICT: Draper 1st opp: Spence crowd: 1002

Well done Tremarco that's a start

No mention of Elgin........We seem to be pressing quite well though ( just reading between the twitter lines

sorry it's off topic but Celtic are one down

whitewash

Any chance of a summary ?

CaleyD........... .........

IHE........

Psychologically I can see that your defensive retort clearly demonstrates your regret about the initial post. Game plan and shape are of course necessities but do not come along when you are playing a pre season friendly and changing the entire team at half time. Build up the fitness levels and the togetherness - blend in the newbies and see how they fit in to the prospective system. Basics are the foundations and building on top takes time. FFFFFFFF S Kingsmills.....thank you............spot on

Steady on lads I was only pointing out the rawness of the Team, just how much Foran has on his plate and what has got to materialise before we are ready for the big off. I didn't expect many of you to get up this way to watch the game and thought you might be interested. Anyway these were the bare facts as I saw them. IHE, game plan and shape are the basics of what a good team is built on you should know that ! also both sides of a coin should be minted the same way only the detail differs. CaleyD I am certainly not getting worked up, I know the Team still has tremendous potential and I look forward to seeing the full team in action, glad you are growing up though Scarlet A B C, I can't help thinking there is a little bit more to football than that. .......

I know what you are saying and I understand why. There were some positive moments and bearing in mind the points I made about the ' newness ' of the team I tried to be as objective as possible in my short resume of the game, just remember this was a Highland league side we were up against not premier standard and should any injuries be forth coming these are the players who will ;have to step up to the mark. Richie I am sure will have noticed the shortcomings and I am sure he will be able to put things right but it will need a lot of hard work to get a team with good stand-ins up and running. It was the lack of shape and game-plan that bothered me most and that can be sorted.

Very difficult to make any predictions, especially with the 'two teams' format, the first run out of the season and the getting to know eachother syndrome. The first half, only our regulars seemed to shine, with Ross Draper and David Raven running the show (Draper looking like a good choice for captaincy) The newbies showing some good flashes but the final ball going astray in a very familiar fashion and what few shots goalwards were way off target apart from one which was easily dealt with by Brora Keeper. Ryan dealt with all his work very competently and had two fine saves, all in all Brora won the first half though. The second half. As the game went on a little of the ' win at all costs ' showed but only a little and only after Brora had scored. Tremarco, Warren, Tansey and Polworth with his goal, Vigurs who tested and brought out the save of the match from their Keeper and Boden were all that showed real endeavour. On that showing Richie has his work cut out, we need shape, cohesion, accurate passing and a lot more efforts on target for us to compete in the Premier league. Perhaps when we get to see the full side together it may be a completely different story, fingers crossed.

Are you wearing your strip on top of your waterproofs Davie ?.......................just so I know it will be you .....don't want to go tootin for the wrong side !
