The game itself unsurprisingly turned out to be as tight as our previous 2 league encounters against them and I thought our players turned in a good, solid performance against the Premier league title challengers. I couldn’t fault any of our guys for effort and commitment; in fact I thought we worked our socks off against what we should appreciate is a formidable outfit. It was a game of few chances and at the end of 90 minutes only a late defensive error on our part which was punished by one of their substitutes, turned out to be the only difference between the teams. I can take plenty of positives out of that performance and although we never created as many chances in the final third as we would have liked to, sometimes you also have to give credit to your opponents. Despite suffer- ing a heavy defeat in the Scottish Cup last week, Petershill on Saturday showed us why they have the best defensive record in the West Premier league by a distance. The fact that they have currently only conceded 6 goals from 13 games in this league campaign is quite a remarkable statistic for a team at this level and it gives you an indication of just how difficult they can be to break down. Coincidentally, we have actually been respon- sible for scoring 2 out of the 6 league goals they have conceded and we are currently the only team to have scored against them in both home and away league fixtures. In my opinion, you have to put all these things into perspective rather than let disappointment at losing get the better of you. It has been difficult for our play- ers over the past couple of months with so many games being postponed due to the bad weather. Continual training sessions without a game on a Saturday can sometimes result in players losing their focus but as a group, I can assure you that our guy’s effort and commitment at training has been excellent and I can’t com- plain about most of their fitness levels. We might lack quality in our play at times, and we can be naïve, and we can make mistakes or bad decisions, but we certainly have not lost games due to a lack of effort from our players! The big games keep coming this week as we welcome Pollok to Holm Park as both clubs get back to league business after last weekend’s cup ties. The South side outfit have bounced back to form after a sticky period and will no doubt be on a high after dumping Beith out of the Scottish Cup last week. From our own point of view, we can’t afford to dwell on our latest cup exit and we’ll be looking to get back on track with a home victo- ry. I see no reason why we can’t push on in the second part of the season and we should target to either match last season’s 4th place or even better it with 3rd place in the league, which of course would be an im- provement on last season and would also be our highest ever finish since coming in to the Junior ranks 10 years ago. The players need all the help possible if they are to achieve that target and any vocal assistance from the terracing would be appreciated. Onwards & upwards.
