faraway saint Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 After yesterday's defeat and, more worrying, poor performance we go into this game needing a win. Last season Arbroath pulled off a victory late in the game, down to us not being able to score after having most of the play. Arbroath have had a major turnover in players and it's early days if they turn out to be any good. Got to get off to a good start, be aggressive and, fingers crossed, get an early goal.

faraway saint Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 We're already, like last season, looking at the possible permutations to keep our hopes alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleySaint Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Coming up for this one with my boy coming down from Snecky, win or lose it'll be worth the journey although really hoping we can get out of the blocks swiftly and put in a performance, also coming up for the Forfar game but my son can't make that one.

turrabuddie Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 To avoid a re-run of the last two matches: We must score We must score first we must score early I’m hoping we line up with an attacking formation with McMenemin up front, not WB. I think we need Olusanya’s physical presence up too too. Nahmani will come on at some point and I expect him to hit the ground running with a goal. We may also have our new (secret) superstar available. I have watched out last two matches and we were not good, in fact we were very poor, but I think we’ll be much better and more aggressive at home. And with a bit more luck we’ll manage to score ! I expect us to win this comfortably. 3-0 home win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) We should be wiping the floor with these teams. Of course, we won't. Mandron is a donkey. I don't know why we paid money for a winger when we let one go for nothing because Robinson doesn't play wingers. This game needs to be over and done in the early stages of the match but I don't see where we will get our goals. I predict another embarrassing performance and maybe a 0-0 draw.

beyond our ken Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 I think we can dispense with the Montrose game and see how the side perform on Saturday. I will be watching online again. I don't see the sense of signing a winger and trying to turn him into a wing-back, perhaps coaching him to track and cover a bit more would make sense but if he isn't that kind of player then we really need to play to his strengths. The possibility of 2 new strikers is exciting, as always we struggled to get the ball to the front players on Saturday and the manager needs to work out how he will improve delivery into and around the box so that the forwards can be a success. That will tell us if he has a plan for the side that can work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleySaint Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Saw the latest Pampers advert earlier claiming they help prevent leaks at the back, I can see a sponsorship opportunity or if we continue to struggle, a new technical partner!

We watched him v Morton, then Montrose and he doesn't seem to know how to kick a football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
