League Table as of the end of November

This month results have catapulted us up the league, our only disappointment came during the first match of the month when we were beaten by Queen Of The South. Our following results against Clyde, Ross County and Hamilton were fantastic results that showed the first division what the diamonds can really do.

We began this month in eighth position and after putting three wins together it has secured us in joint fifth. We have scored eight goals in three games but have continued to allow teams to score needless goals against us. When we can prevent these goals against us I think we can be a force in the Bells First Division

Top Goal Scorers So far
This Includes Cup games

Owen Coyle leading the way easily as our top goal scorer and some of our fans will be hoping he can continue his form and score more than twenty goals this season. Owen himself will be hoping to reach twenty four goals as this would mean he would reach three hundred career goals.

Disciplinary Record

I thought this month we could have a look at the clubs disciplinary record not bad by all accounts but how long until it starts to tell.

Decembers Fixtures

What do we expect from December? Five fixtures three home two away and excluding Raith Rovers they all sit above us in the league? So how many points will you be happy with during December?

Overview

This month we saw the appointment of Owen Coyle as Sandy Stewarts assistant manager and staved of the total disaster that some of the fans foretold was in our future. On the Official site Sandy Stewart has begun giving very open interviews on what has happened with the team. they can be found here if anyone has missed them.

We have hit the kind of form this month that saw us win the Bells Second division and go unbeaten towards the end of last season. I'm not saying we can or will do the same here but the enjoyment factor is back in the Airdrie game.
