What were your thoughts on the game? Yes exactly. At this stage of the season, the most important thing is the result. I didn't think we managed to reach the heights of the weeks leading up to this game however I still felt we were well in control. Our build up play at times was good but at other times our decision making was poor. We continue this over the next few years. We are sitting weren't overly troubled in the first half and were disappointed comfortably in the top four with a good chance of claiming to come in level as I felt once we got the opening goal then third spot. This will be a great achievement for a club like we should have been able to see out the half. The goal we ours. We have scored more goals than ever before which is a conceded was very soft and I spoke at length with the guys great effort from my team as a whole. I am very happy with after as it was simply a continuation of mistakes which where we are at the minute. We suffered a set back this year ultimately ended with the ball in our net. The opening 15 with the news of three big players retiring. They have been minutes of the second half saw us back to an acceptable unbelievable servants to this club and deserve recognition for standard where we drove at Keith and played the majority of their work over their spells at this club. However, we have no the game in their half. During this period we managed to get a couple of goals, to which I thought we would kick on from but option but to give them the credit they have more than that wasn't to be. We could have and maybe should have earned and then move on. We accept that we will likely have added to our tally but with where we are in the season mixed to take a step or two back next season as a result of this in with the difficult weather conditions, I was more than however this gives more players the opportunity to come in happy to come away with the three points although I do know and play for Fraserburgh FC. These spots will have to be filled we can play better than that showing. and sometimes you need to be given an opportunity before you can shine, and next season three new individuals will be Today sees yet another encounter with Inverurie Locos and given that chance and come in to our squad. whilst we have held the upper hand so far this season I’m sure you will be telling the players that counts for nothing. I know you always think there is room for improvement so I How tough a game are you anticipating against Neil guess that the most disappointing aspect of the season Cooper’s side? would be the results in the Cups, is that a fair assessment? The last time we played Inverurie was some time ago and I do The League Cup in particular was probably the low point of not think it will have any bearing on today’s match. Since we our season. No disrespect to Deveronvale as on the day they last played we have lost a few players to long term injuries deserved to win as they were better than us, but we were at who will be out for the season and Inverurie have already home and on a good run so I thought we had a great chance started preparing for next season so it will almost certainly be but it was not to be. We were disappointed in the final last a different game tomorrow than the previous ones this season. season and wanted to go one better this season but we failed Neil has allowed a fair few from his squad to leave and this at the first hurdle, but to be fair we bounced back pretty well takes a lot of bravery but I have seen their U20's side over the from this. Another game which I was gutted about was the last couple of seasons and I know that in that mix were quite Auchinleck Talbot game in the Scottish Cup. I felt we had a a number of youngsters who showed potential so it now looks really good chance to progress and although I do not like like these players are ready to step up to the first team and excuses, I still feel that had I had certain players available for credit to Neil and the staff at Locos for allowing them the the game then there is a good chance the result could have chance to show what they are about.
