Stranraer 1-1 Clydebank

When Allan Jenkins was taken off and David Farrell was bought on it didn't go down to well with the home fans, this is what Billy had to say about it.

"The change worked dramatically well for us, and that's no disrespect to Allan Jenkins. We needed the experience at the back and the passing abilities of Dex. The change was staring you in the face, well it was staring us in the face."

Billy wasn't happy with the two points the Blues lost on Saturday, here is what he said:

"A draw is no use to us, we are not happy with the point, our performance, until the last 20 minutes where we looked a bit like ourselves."

And here is what Billy thought of today's match.

"Today's game was an end of season affair, and that's a crying shame given two sides that have different situations- them because promotion was an outside chance, and us because we need points to close the trap-door".

"My apologies, this was meant to be a professional game. We tried to superimpose our style onto theirs. I think they won the game of cards, the game of poker. We have done it to them 3 times at Clydebank."

 

What do you think? Is Billy correct with the way the game went? Should Allan Jenkins have been brought of? Have your say on the discussion board! Remember and tune-in in two weeks time for more pearly word of wisdom from Billy.
