Drop O’Brien. And take the captaincy off him. We need a team of fighters.
I agree with a lot of your comments on this forum generally and I personally do wonder about Tams commitment to the fight we are in for survival in this league but I think we have to believe that he as our Captain and one of the best defenders I have ever seen at this level will step up and help keep us in the Championship for at least another season

Allan wasn't fit enough when he came and I do not believe it would have been managements plan to play him as much as they did but circumstances arguably created by said management meant he was more or less thrown in from the start . He is clearly a very good player but due to his lack of fitness and the shambles of the team early season he was part of we just never saw the best of him . I have no doubt he would be a better player for us in the present squad the only problem is how you fit him in

I really wouldn’t be demanding a penalty for that because I don’t think it was one?
I don’t see how it’s stupidity either it’s a contact sport and players running with the ball or trying to win the ball back will come in contact with each other like that all the time. It’s really shite to see that given
Bad decision to try clear that header mind you but that was just very unfortunate
McGinty header is on target if Little makes no effort to put his head to the ball thats poor defending ridiculous to say its a bad decision just unfortunate it deflects past Gaston

What is needed for the remainder of the season is some consistency in team selection although with the amount of new players brought in this month I do not know how we achieve this a lot of questions being asked about poor performances from our usually reliable defence but out of our 21 league games the back four has been changed in 11 games thats not counting the the 3 changes in one game against ICT on Saturday we have 17 games to save our season the manager must quickly decide on his best team and stick with it

They’re different. Hamilton puts away 4 out of 5 chances but does nothing much else. Nouble destroys defences but misses 4 out of 5 chances.
Hamilton rather than Nouble in your team then obviously

Embarrassing goal to lose

Really do not get what big Luke brings to this team ok he got a goal today but that aside it was like playing with a man down this has been the same for 3 seasons now he came into the team at the time we had Ryan Wallace (I know he was not everyone's cup of tea) and displaced him think back to what Wallace gave us(goals) I know who I would rather have I really do not like being negative about our players but if we stick with him he needs to play as a two . I thought we played ok today considering we had a makeshift defence and little on the bench their keeper had some terrific saves and could have won by 3 or more

What a team every man standing up to the challenge sums up this club under the Campbells Ricky has shown recently why he was given a new 2 year contract his attitude and influence on the team has really stood out what a player for Arbroath he has been

I thought Arbroath were the better side for most of the second half indeed I would say Rovers second goal was against the run of play I think for the second week running we finished with a better 11 than we started with Dick needs to sort this We are definitely better when we have a go at teams .

Lost 3 games from 12 this YEAR I meantIts clear as day our problem all season has been scoring goals Dick has tried to address this and when J Hamilton arrived it looked to have worked unfortunately his form has dipped not helped I think by constant changes to the midfield which occasionally has been unavoidable . Today was another example of how well we can compete in this league and as long as the team have more belief in themselves than some of our supporters I for one think we are good enough to stay up we have lost 3 league games from 12 this season which is not bad form and the teams we have still to play we have already taken points from . C"mon Arbroath.1 -

Disagree the lad has not been so good these last 2 or 3 games would rather see Gold back in midfieldWilliamson has to start. He makes all the difference with his energy in midfield.1 -
Shit awful performance from Arbroath tonight our best chances created and missed by our centre half's says it all and a fluke goal. Falkirks reserves much better than us . We just don't have any threat up front which will ultimately cost us our place in the championship.

Thats just not trueWhile I think Robbie should just shut his mouth and admit we were pish, I don't think he's saying anything anyone watching wouldn't have thought themselves. The surface was awful and every pass was a lottery0 -
Second bottom and we have only lost 2 in 11 games this year shows how difficult this league is if only we had more of a goal threat we would be comfortable at this level

Looked like we played to try and not lose rather than going out there to try and win the gameThink Campbell went a bit conservative bringing Craigen in for Linn. Need to use what attacking talent we have.0 -
Meant to say Craigen has not been in the game
Get Bobby Linn on ffs and have a go at them Craigellachie he not been in the game for us0 -
