W6er Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 1 minute ago, Rascal said: We played the second half with 6/7 academy players having drawn the first half one each. They brought on their top 11 for the second half. Our young lads will have learned a lot. For some it let them get their feet back on the ground after being widely touted in the press. For others it built their confidence and I for one enjoyed seeing them. The result was irrelevant - lost two scrappy goals and a penalty that could have been avoided and I hope that we overall learned from that going into competitive games. True! Good point. Does anyone have any idea what Arbroath's squad's like this year? Have they strengthened, retained what they had or lost a lot of players? If they play half as well as they did last season we're in for a tough game. My prediction: 2-1 Saints (Grieve & Ayunga) Crowd: 1,700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Tough game. But with the right attitude we should win it. They've lost some decent players they had on loan like Jack Hamilton etc. But it's a big scalp for them. 2.0 Saints Grieve. O,Hara.

faraway saint Posted July 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 As far as I can tell, due to plenty of people being away on holiday, there's not going to be anywhere near the numbers traveling as there was when Arbroath played Kilmarnock towards the end of the season. As for players, still can't accurately say if the whole squad is available. I would be surprised that Dick Campbell would be happy if key players were still on holiday.

There won’t be as many travelling to a Group game in the League Cup as went to a potential League winning match v Killie?

Scott-Leeds Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Still without the prolific Main/Brophy We really should address this as opposed to hoping these guys can string 5 games together between them I’d certainly give a couple of youngsters a game early doors this season as we already know what the above 2 have/don’t have to offer Saints 3-1 Arbroath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better watch out, Arbroath are a decent second half team. That's when Campbell usually moves to the sideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
