Stirling Albion’s boss, Alan Maybury, is focusing on improving home performances as they approach the end of the first quarter of the season. The team is currently in a decent position after the initial eight games, but their record at home in League Two has been a cause for concern. The Binos have only managed to secure one victory at home so far.
Maybury is hopeful that his team can finish off the first round of fixtures strongly as they prepare to face Forfar Athletic at Forthbank this weekend. Stirling sits fourth in the early League Two table, with the upcoming match marking the quarter point of the season where all teams will have faced each other once.
The season has been a mix of ups and downs for Stirling, with four wins and four defeats. The team underwent significant changes over the summer, leading to a period of adjustment and adaptation. Maybury acknowledges the need to reverse the trend of struggling at home, especially as they prepare to face Ray McKinnon’s Forfar side, who are coming off consecutive wins.
Maybury reflected on the team’s progress, highlighting the positive aspects such as the commitment and improvement shown by players like Jack Harkness, Ross Davidson, and Alex Ferguson. Despite the challenges faced, Maybury is optimistic about the direction the team is heading in, emphasizing the importance of consistency and building a strong squad.
Forfar currently sits seventh in the table with eight points, following their recent wins over Stranraer and Bonnyrigg. Stirling has a good record against Forfar in previous encounters, remaining undefeated in their last six matches dating back to December 2021.
As the season progresses, Stirling Albion will be looking to leverage their away successes and translate them into victories on home turf. Maybury is keen on seeing his team showcase their potential and deliver strong performances, aiming for more consistent results as they continue to adapt and evolve in the competitive League Two environment.
