A week is a long time in the fortunes of a Football team
and this was very true over the recent matches for The Warriors, with a defeat
to Elgin followed by a more than creditable draw at Dumbarton last Tuesday night
and then an incredible 5-1 thrashing of the same team on Saturday.
Campbell was in upbeat mood when reflecting on recent
performances but things didn’t start off too well at Borough Briggs. “Although I
felt we dominated the first half, creating and missing a number of good chances,
we lost yet another poor goal defensively with at least 3 chances to clear the
ball. In the second half, we never got going, played poorly and lost a really
bad goal from a kick out by their keeper.
Bad start at Elgin. On Tuesday night, I was really pleased
with our overall performance and it’s a game that we could have won. We defended
really solidly and were lively upfront and with a little luck we could have
taken all 3 points from the game. There was a much improved work ethic
throughout the team, especially from our middle 3 of Aitken, Sinclair and Tyrell
who made it difficult for Dumbarton to play. I thought Andy Thomson’s attitude
to the game was first class; he led the line well and communicated effectively
with John and Gareth. John has been doing well even when the team has been
struggling and his goal was an excellent finish. The only down side was Tommy
Sinclair’s injury but fortunately it turned out to be less serious than we first
imagined.”
