sherm Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 15/07/05 Gretna has today shocked the football world by announcing the appointment of an unknown English manager. We have very little information on Nicholas Simpson, but we do know that the 37 year old moved to Scotland when he was 26. We are not really sure what sort of a profile he has in football terms, but the Gretna board was obviously happy enough with him. Simpson had this to say: "I am delighted to be taking over a club like Gretna. I hope that I can prove myself to the fans and the board in the coming season with the one thing I am being paid to get - results. This is a club that has a big future, and I want to be a part of that With the board expecting a mid-table finish and financial stability , Simpson will not have long to prove his worth as a manager. He does have some football experience however, having worked with Sir Bobby Robson for a couple of years while at University in England, when Sir Bobby was at Newcastle. This still bodes the question of whether he will be able to live up to the task of stepping into the managers shoes at the newly promoted club.

I can't see why though" Rob Campkin was one of my new staff members, a good reliable coach who would always give 100%. I had hired him on my first day in the job. "Well I know a physio who's out of work boss, so I could have a word with him. He's of a good standard too; I can bring him in if you like?" "Yeah, do that please Rob. I'm going to have another advertisement placed in the Echo for another coach" Our first game was on my second day, a friendly against First division Dundee. I hadn't had much time with the squad so I picked what I thought was the best 11 players to start the game. We gave a good account of ourselves against our more illustrious opponents. They had obvious class in their side which is why they came out on top, but overall I was happy with he fight and spirit shown by the team. Still need a few improvements though.

Nicholas Simpson was today receiving the adulation of the Raydale Park faithful after securing the services of 2 stalwarts of the Scottish game. David Hannah and Derek Lilley will be joining up with the rest of the squad for training tomorrow.

All I will say is that apart from being nervous, I am confident that this club can be the surprise package of the season, as long as we play to our full potential" "So you think you can get promoted?" "I'm not making any sort of predictions like that, but I think that we certainly should stay comfortable in this division as long as we give 100%" "Well the Gretna fans are still a bit dubious over your managing abilities, so what is your message to them?"

sherm Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Challenge Cup 1st Round vs Arbroath Gretna 3-2 Arbroath Scorers: Deuchar (2), Bingham The score doesn't really say much about the game to be brutally honest. We controlled the game from start to finish, and we beat them on shots and possession. 2 good moves in the last 15 minutes brought them their 2 goals, but Pat Clarke scored them both. He was only on the pitch 20 minutes. However, my front pairing of Deuchar and McGinty looked good, with Bingham behind them. We looked a force going forward every time but need to be more solid at the back. Overall it was a good start though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad news about David Graham though" "Yes, he's out for around 2 months. We need to find someone else to play in central midfield now. Stevie Tosh could be the answer, he looks solid and is a strong physical presence" "You're right. Cant wait to see the odds for Division 2 though, should be interesting to see us..."

sherm Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Scottish Division 2 Gretna 3-1 Stirling Scorers: Deuchar, Bingham (2) We were much more solid at the back in this game, even though we did lose a late goal. I think clean sheets are going to be a rarity this season. I think Deuchar and Bingham look like being a good pairing up-front, with McGinty a good back-up off the bench. Kenny's goal was a good team move that resulted in a simple tap-in. David scored 2 set-pieces, a free-kick and a penalty, but again overall I can't fault the players. Good, solid performance "Again I'm happy with the boys. It would have been nice to have a clean sheet but hey, that's life.

If we play like that every week then we should have no trouble at all. The only surprise in this game was that Kenny Deuchar didnt score. David Hannah and Stevie Tosh were magnificent in the central midfield, creating and starving Ayrs front 2 of any room. Stevie got a thouroughly deserved MoM award.

They took the lead just before half-time, a shot deflecting off Derek Lilley and looping over Alan Main (in for the injured Tom Heaton).

sherm Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Scottish 2nd Division Gretna 3-2 Partick Scorers: Bingham, Deuchar, Skelton This was the biggest game of the season by far. At home against the unbeaten league leaders and joint favourites for promtion. I said to the lads before we went out that they need to be at their very best, both at the back and going forward. This would be a real test of our mettle after a tough couple of games. Partick started like house on fire, and took the lead after 14 minutes. We equalised 5 minutes later, and took the lead on the stroke of half time. We got a 3rd after 58 minutes to give us a 2 goal cushion but that was wiped out 7 minutes later with Particks 2nd goal of the game. We were immense at the back after that, keeping everything Prtick threw at us out. We need to build on this now and get a good run going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
