2019/20 Ladbrokes Scottish League One - First Half Results


Our first game in Scottish League One play would be against Airdrieonians in their stadium, where we would press and attack at will in a convincing 4-0 win.

We'd continue to play wonderful attacking football right through September, with our first loss in league play coming at home against Alloa 2-0. This was after a whopping eleven straight wins to start the season!

We'd continue to play inspired football through December, finishing the first half of the season with draws against Forfar and last year's League Two rivals Edinburgh City to finish the first 18 games with a phenomenal mark of 14 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws. That was good for a five point lead on the table over Edinburgh City!

Our 42 goals placed us second behind Edinburgh City's 48 while our defense shined, allowing only 12 goals in those 18 contests.



January 2020 - Transfer Window

We were in solid shape on the table and thankfully didn't have to worry too much about having top players poached this season. So the January transfer situation was reasonably quiet.



Transfers OUT

DL - Jack Wilson - Free - Airdie
DR - Joe MacPherson - Free - Leon de Huanuco
AMC - Scott Banks - Free - Ayr
ST - Matthew Laird - Free - Brighton

The two biggest losses here were Jack Wilson and Scott Banks, both new pickups this summer. Wilson split time at left fullback with Michael Kennedy and was a solid contributor, playing 14 games (10 starts) and giving us two assists along with a fine average rating of 7.25. Banks, thought to be a pillar of our youth team, became valuable when Kurtis Roberts had a brief injury spell. He ended up scoring three goals in 8 starts (13 total appearances) and his talent would be missed.



Transfers IN

GK - Neil Parry - Free (from Alloa) - 33 years old, Scotland
DL - Willie Dyer - Free (Dumbarton) - 32 years old, Scotland
DR - Kieran Swanson - Free (from Dunfermline) - 17 years old, Scotland
MC - Ewan McLevy - Free (from Falkirk) - 18 years old, Scotland
MC - Jordan Sinclair - Free (from Brechin) - 22 years old, Scotland
AMR - Innes Murray - Free (from Hibernian) - 21 years old, Scotland

Most of these players are just here to add some depth. Nothing really noteworthy, although Jordan Sinclair is a very capable looking player.



Loan IN

None
