  1. Hard to be overly critical about Saturday, given the standard of performances and run we’ve been on.

    Agree with the point made above about Eastons chance that really felt like our chance that we had to take. Credit to Cove though for taking their chances when they came along.

    One thing that is worrying is if we are to make a real tilt at the title we’d need a player to really hit 20+ Goals imo. I’m not sure Gallagher or Smith (as much as I highly rate them both) will either get. Would be good to see Salim (if/when fit) or Gabby McGill getting a run at it. 

    Also agree with getting McCabe back to CM asap! Does anyone know what Kerrs injury is ? Is it just a constant reoccurring thing? …

    A long way to go but credit where it’s due. For players/ staff and fans alike to be disappointed to be 2nd 2 points off top we must be going in the right direction.

  2. Certainly an interesting encounter. Surprised it’s taken this long for East Fife to get going. 
     

    Not sure how far away Kerr and Lyons are for playing a full 90 minutes. Would be good to see McCabe pushed back into midfield. Walker did fine on Saturday although did at times look uncomfortable playing on the left

    I’d like to see walker get a run of games at RB when Kerr is back fit!

    Kerr is a real asset and the piece we are missing at the back. Just a shame he is injured so much. 
     

    Thought we’d have gone for a defender this week to let McCabe slot back into midfield where he is more influential.

     

    Still thing Agnew is a shout for LB or at least worth trying out. Good left foot good footballing brain and plenty of experience. 

  4. Defence definitely needs sorting out McCabe and McGill both playing out of position. Kerr is good but rarely fit enough to manage a run of games. Think as someone mentioned Watson from Dunfermline maybe available ? 
     

    Never showed up today which is disappointing but won’t be too hard on the team, we have done brilliantly in recent weeks. Can’t afford many performances like today if we have aspirations of going up, however. 

  5. Still baffled how a team with 4 attacking midfielders and 2 strikers never managed to create one clear cut opportunity on Saturday but the biggest worry is how many points poor game management has cost us this season already.

    We need Fordyce, McCabe and Gabby McGill back in the starting 11 asap.

    With a Falkirk away approaching in a few weeks the Clyde game this Saturday already feels like a must win.

    Can confirm that it meant something. I was going to mention it on here three or four days ago when I saw it but I've got no inside info or anything and for all I knew they were just pals. Delighted with that signing.

    I was the same I was going to mention it also as it looked like the bar/function room at the stadium in the background haha. All in all a good bit of business from the club though. Suddenly things are looking up again. 

  7. Would say I’ve been pretty patient with Murray over the time he’s been here but for us to be sitting 7th in league one is a real low for us, every excuse aside. We now have to be looking down the way as well as up. I’ve said all along that our squad is average at best and our league position proves that . Too many passengers and not enough quality. If we had pushed the boat out for Andy Ryan in the summer and maybe started the season with Paton and Turner things may have looked different but instead we go for youngsters and squad players to pad out the team. The summer signings have all turned out to be utterly shambolic. Currie is no better than Hutton. Mbayo, Sabatini & stokes are obviously not good enough to play As for Robert I seriously don’t get the hype - Mostly anonymous in the games I’ve seen. We don’t have a squad capable of winning the league but the bare minimum should be 4th and unless we win the next 3 games (an extremely hard ask) we have no chance imo and Murray should go. 

  8. Hard to judge anything from today with little training taken place, no competitive matches in months and a red card after 3 minutes. Pretty stupid of Turner going in like that but he’ll get another chance and hopefully proves his worth. Think with 11 men we probably would’ve won but not prettily. Wonder if the play more attackers brigade are happy tonight though ? we started with 5 attacking minded players. The positive is we don’t have a cup game this midweek and can get a full weeks training under our belt. 

  9. That is a very positive signing for us credit where it’s due to Murray and the club. An attacking midfielder is absolutely what we have been needing to add. Always looked a classy player when he lined up against us for Stranraer. You only have to look as far as the reaction on Twitter of Dunfermline fans saying they can’t believe they’ve let him go so hopefully we are onto a winner. As I mentioned previously, I wish MacDonald all the best but I don’t think he’ll be a massive miss at this point and I think Turner will be more of an asset to us.

    id line up - 

     

                            Currie

    Mckay Fordyce Crighton McCann

                   Kerr          Sabatini 

    Carrick          Turner               Robert

                           Gallagher 

     

     

    Does anyone know if Kyle Connell came back on loan from Kilmarnock?

  10. Disappointing that it seems there won’t be another player through the door. As has been mentioned an impact/March winner type could make all the difference as I can’t see there being much between any of the teams come 18/22 games. Don’t think the squad is drastically bad but I certainly would’ve thought an attacking midfielder would’ve been high up on the priorities more so than an extra forward (Jack McKay). As airdrieman suggests there are a few at kelty which would’ve been good additions for us - Easton, Flynn & Austin all come to mind. Pretty sure Miller said back in January we had a couple of players lined up so in the clubs defence, maybe, the purse strings have tightened. Regardless, it will be good to watch the football on a Saturday again. 

  11. I think it would be good to hear from the club we are all financially and emotionally invested in rather than the constant radio silence and second guessing. 

    I Have faith in the people who are running the club but some sort of communication about the on and off park situation should be an obvious priority, and we as ever, are massively behind our counterparts. You only have to look as far as other teams social media accounts to see chairman’s and managers comments  while we have nothing from anyone.

    Yep,everyone is back at airdrie apart from K Mcd because he's got his 10 days isolation to do 

    Noticed Kyle McDonald played 90 minutes for Dunfermline today. Genuinely not that fussed if he comes back or not don’t think he’d be a massive miss. The young boy that played right back against cove was decent enough and if he’s a player who’ll be around longer than the end of the season I’d rather go with that.
