The Managers Thoughts – Stranraer

Manager Wullie Gibson was asked about the teams win over Stranraer at Stair Park, and gave an update on some of the injuries within the squad.

“I am delighted to get the win in terrible conditions at Stair Park this afternoon. First half we were pinned back due to the wind but we defended really well.
Second half with the wind, I was slightly disappointed with the way we performed but we capitalised on a Stranraer mistake and it was a good finish from Keith Watson.

Disappointment then comes with injuries to Paul Smith (ankle and waiting to find out extend of damage) and Keith Watson with a bad cut to the nose which we couldn’t stop so that meant with us down on numbers to use Steven Bell for the latter part of the game.

Overall I’m delighted with the fight and attitude from the players to pick up a huge 3 points on the road.

Paul McGowan, didn’t recover in time from feeling his hamstring early last week against East Kilbride.

Zach Balfour has picked up a groin injury so that seen the ever reliable Greg Fleming take his place on the bench.

Zander Craik hurt his thigh early in the week training with Kilmarnock and today was just too soon for him.

Euan Deveney, even though he was named on the bench today, pulled out in the warm up following a recurrence of his knee injury.

Hopefully we’ll see Gowser and Zander along with myself return to the squad next week and can hopefully continue our recent run of 3 wins in a row.”
