Down In Albion
I imagine Berwick's players will be jetting back in from their trips far and wide on international duty right now ;) won't it be good to get back to some 3rd division football this weekend?
With a quarter of the season gone and little between the sides except for Elgin, it's just crying out for someone to go on a run. We kick off the second quarter of the season away to Albion Rovers, followed by Arbroath at Berwick and then Queen's Park at Hampden. Big Kev Haynes is out suspended from all three.
The unpredictable nature of the league this season means you can't go to any game expecting to win. Our Coatbridge hosts this weekend have greatly improved since I saw them last season - they were quite useful in the opening league game of the season I thought, battling back to get a point with a late strike from the former Ayr man, Scott Chaplain. They also reached the semi-final of the Challenge Cup which is a good achievement for any third division side but failed in their bid to reach the final. Having also lost a couple of league games either side of their semi, Jim Chapman will be telling his players that this is a game they need to win. After letting a 1-0 lead slip in our last game against Montrose we need to put some form together now too. Despite Chaplain's excellent scoring record this season so far, hopefully Steve Noble will be the difference against his former club and Berwick will keep up their terrific recent record at Cliftonhill.
