Huntly v Wick Academy

some parts of the pitch are still frosty underneath - bad over the shed side.

See front page for more photo updates on the pitch

Well done to the small band for all the work to get this game on.
Lets hope for a decent crowd and three points to make it all worthwhile.

Yes well done to everyone.
And a good set of photos to make everyone appreciate the job in hand.

Having seen the pitch this morning well done to all concerned who worked on it,lets hope we get the win we need.

Some effort to get the game on guys...Well Done!!!

aye great effort to get it on, saturdays aren the same without a game off fitba to get to!!

Lets hope our hard work wont be in vain !

Well done on getting the game on.
COME ON ACADEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep I'd also like to congratulate the club on getting this on. Looking at the waterlogged photos yesterday morning I wasn't at all hopefull but that nice breeze through the night also played it's part.

Now, can I remember where my seat is in the stand

great 2nd half what a diff to get a 3-2 win


D McG will have to admit that selection didnt work in first half BUT at least he made the changes early to give the team a chance to turn it round


well done guys

Well done sounds like you played well in the second half. For me it's great that we can compete well against the top teams in the league with local players from a small community. I have watched Academy for a lot of years in the Highland League and have always been happy, regardless of the the result, if they have given their all. I hope you enjoy our football and look forward to playing us again.

yip

u were better in first but manager changed personnel at half time that turned things round

Well what to make of yesterday.
Great comeback once the right team was on the park.
Not for the first time I found myself really questioning the starting line up.
I'm afraid new McGin is just not cutting it for me.
He may be talented but does not seem to have adjusted to this league and there are better players on the bench.
On the bright side Brownhill had another very good game and seems to be able to play anywhere.
Grayser held everything together and Boother showed what an intelligent player he is.
Anyway,a great result,and hopefully we will continue with the second half form at Nairn.

Firstly,well done on a great comeback yesterday.At half-time i thought if Wick scored the next goal Huntly would have capitulated,thankfully Huntly scored it and went on to win.The main issue again for me is team selection,i have to say i don't know the ins and outs of who is training or who is carrying knocks but why do we not play our "better" players.Starting with the goalkeeping position,Brems is the best goalie so why isn't he playing!As for the formation,Guildy and Soane are attacking central midfielders,so for me they must play in their best position.To do this the only option is to play three at the back.I would play Redford in the middle,Si on the left and Ross Mckenzie on the right.I do think three at the back can work but the three need pace and they need to defend first and foremost.Ross would need to be more restrained with his bursts forward.The wide players would be Myles on the right,a player who has been the find of the season for me and coco on the left who being naturally left footed is a huge advantage.Centrally Guildy,Soane and Grayzer who would be the sitting player.Up front i would go for Andrzej who has good pace and movement but i don't have a strong views on the other striker at the moment.Taylor and Ewen have had plenty chances and haven't taken them.Its only my opinion but it would be good to hear other peoples views.

havnt seen much of michael mcginlay but dinna really rate him that well, he didn seem to be tracking back to help out the team and was always sloppy with his passing... will be suprised if he keeps his place against nairn, as soane came on and changed the game in a way!!
