A Son of the Rock

The Rock, 24/4/10

This sums up our season. One week we beat the league leaders at their place (and in the process probably stop them being champions) and the next, at home, lose to a team who may well be in the relegation play-offs.

Twas ever thus, though.

I didn’t expect anything from this game; partly because we had more or less nothing to play for and partly since our home form this season has been execrable.

Home W5 D4 L9. Away W9 D2 L6.

I’ve seen all but two of those away wins, plus one draw and five losses out of the six. Maybe not quite such a jinx this season, then.

Do as well at home and add in those extra four wins; we’d have been well in the play off hunt.

Still sixth, or fifth if it happens, is a good position finish first season up.

Word of warning. We only need to look at where East Fife and Arbroath are now to see how difficult the second season might be.

But, in the absence of Ben Gordon, was Chissie fielded at centre back? The BBC report’s line up suggests as much. If so, that’s beyond bizarre and Chappie was taking the piss. I know Chissie always puts a shift in but he was vulnerable enough at full back. I’d dearly love to have been able to vote for him for player of the year just because of his effort but I couldn’t be there.

Broadwood next week for a valedictory look at the class of 2010.
