Sue Denim Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Montrose win on penalties at Cowdenbeath. I think we’ll pump Cowdenbeath and Forfar anyway but at least that result helps just in case…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Happy with that. Good professional performance. This game though really did emphasise how good Strain is. Really hope that was just a wee knock at the end and more importantly, that we can hang onto him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Could have been about 7 but for there keeper making 3 excellent stops in first half second half they came out and had a go at us but once we got 3 Rd we settled back down Nahmani took his 2 goals very well but we need to remember the level of opposition hopefully he can keep it up and I will happily hold my hands up and say I was wrong .

alwaystrue Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Enjoyed the game, lots of positives and nice finishing from our international striker. Injuries a concern but hopefully not too bad. LJ not a finisher but the boy has some lovely touches and shout out to our non scoring striker/s @Warrior Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledfan Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Enjoyable start to the competitive season at home. Criticism last season was that we never killed games off, certainly not a problem today. O'Hara is a great leader in midfield and Strain was outstanding. Mandaron looked a handful with Strains crosses and Stav Mahani looked like a cool finisher. To show that composure on a debut no matter the opposition at his age is a good omen. Looking forward to the Forfar game already. Edited July 22, 2023 by exiledfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Not long back from the game. A far better performance all round. I know it was against "lesser opposition", though not as low as Montrose, but some of the crisp passing from defence to attack was a joy to watch. We could, perhaps should, have been out of sight before HT even though I thought Arbroath made a good fist of it. All in all it was a good game to watch. I haven't changed my opinion on Mandron. He can use his head but still seems clumsy with the ball at his feet. And Boyd-Munce was guilty of giving the ball away too cheaply at times. Nahmani, on the other hand. I know it's early but his cameo appearance was delightful. He looks to have speed of foot and mind and looks as cool as a cucumber in front of goal. I am really looking forward to seeing him against better teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability of Ayunga to bully defences and get the ball to Stav in space could be a good combination for us with Grieve and Mandron as back up and alternative options.

guinness Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Thought we were quite good today though the opposition were poor. Both centres did quite well and the Israeli boy took his two goals well. Refereeing as usual was atrocious and the dirty wee tosser number 23 was allowed to stay on long enough to catch Strain a sore one. Hopeful!y not a serious injury as he is our Best player by a distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSS Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Thought we played well today and could easily have scored double than what we did Nahmani took both his goals very well and looks the part Was very disappointed in Arbroath,they were poor and will struggle this season on that sort of performance Well done Saints 👏👏👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleySaint Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Got back about half an hour ago, really enjoyed the game, decent performance no matter the opposition, Gogic was everywhere and O'Hara strolled it for much of the game, Nahmani really looked the part and Mandron put himself about too. I said on another thread that I thought some of our 'forwards' would need to play wider and Lewis did well when he came on, positive reaction from last week e pected and delivered.

I would guess you were fartaway posting with yet another nom de plume, but as you seem to be literate, I’ll just assume you are related to him. Ps for clarity - there have been no anti-Israeli protests as far as I know. There have been posts about Zionist repression of Palestinians in their occupied homeland - and a hope that this guy just wanting to play fitba is a good guy. But stir up irrelevant shite about him, if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W6er Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Absolutely delighted. We played brilliantly - defended well, limiting them to a single shot on goal, IIRC; we were attacking, creative and genuinely could have been 3-0 up at half time. My only complaint is that the fans didn't seem to know how to use the recycling bins, despite the illustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
