I personally feel this will be the Campbells last season with us if they even make it to the summer. But If Arbroath were to move on from the Campbells who’s actually available or would be a decent appointment of the top my head Stewart Petrie obvious candidate, Darren young? Kevin Thomson? Other than that slim pickings.

15 goals conceded in last 4 games if pretty fucking horrific for a team who are well known for being defensively solid normally yes we weren’t great great last season and parts of this but we’ve never been so easy play against

Poor result not good for the European coefficieny

Hope some fans didn’t put too much money on Arbroath today

We have a good few missing, in poor form and conceding terrible goals and they are in good form banging in plenty goals only games they’ve lost are the European qualifiers

Aye shape looked like it was constantly changing and only watched on tv but looked poor. Could still be playing and still wouldn’t have created a decent chance. we have got to where we have by being a solid structured team playing 451/433. Now it changes week to week as dick pleases. Feels like we don’t have an identity or style just wing it game by game these days. first thing on the Christmas wish list a centre half please

Fair result deserved nothing from this poor again

We’ve gotten where we are through being a solid hard to beat team and we’ve totally gone away from that. playing a forward wide right doesn’t work. Defensively we’ve been a shambles at times. Little and Tob have had their fair share of absolute howlers this season and that needs to improve or even change not been overly impressed with either tbh I can understand more with little with his age just have to accept a slight decline in performances but with tob some of the decisions and performances have been wild and erratic. going forward I’d go with Lyon/norey steel tob hammy stewart gold slater hylton mckenna mcintosh if not bird Thought bird was poor today nothing stuck uptop. I’d like to see mcintosh get a run through the middle feel he’s the biggest presence up there although that injury might prevent that. we had linn wasting away on a bench for 2 seasons now he’s gone dicks gone full out attack playing 2 attacking wide players or strikers in his case. big game next week poor results for us today with everyone gaining points

We are still very much suited to PT. Cove aren’t a good example of going full time. Getting pay rolled big time, massive debt, terrible squad list goes on. Agree midweek doesn’t suit us but it’s just one of these things least this will be planned well in advance and sort of expected when the fixture will be

Definitely peppos or now the harbour. Fish supper and white pudding chaser never disappoints

I’d expect goals from this game It will be 100% 0-0 now I said that

Little was always going to go straight back into the team. He’s been part of the best cb pairing for Arbroath for years and possibly in the league bar last and this season. He’s made a mistake for a goal he’s not the only that’s done that this season or on Saturday.

Just seen highlights 3 poor goals to lose particularly 2nd and 3rd poor mistakes. As for steel very good signing and a long term player for us.

Absolutely with the previous weeks starting 11 with little in the team we have a great balance. Squad could be slightly more balanced but we have some really good players coming off the bench now unlike last season. Norey coming in today I was very unsure but from reports I’ve heard he was absolutely fine which I’m delighted about. Few key injuries and suspensions we could find ourself in bother but im starting to get vibes of the season 2 years ago with our results and performances. Long may it continue smokies edit: the way McKenna is playing is very 2 years ago which is absolutely fucking brilliant too

Birthday boy too hopefully finds a young lady to give him his birthday present after his dance in devitos.

Strange game to throw norey in. Gold be at right back

Aye McKenna in the 10 role/ all over the place just what he does

Lyon in for little steel to cb and Lyon into RB. Keep gold in the middle of the park hes been brilliant there for us. LM9 for turan Gaston lyon steel tob stewart dow gold slater hylton mckenna LM9

Ref just comes across a right w****r finger pointing into Ricky’s face. Hands constantly in his hand ready to pull them out at any opportunity

Aye defo thought gold fouled and boy was falling into ricky harsh imo

Cigars were out for us the day. Was looking forward to see airdrie play but if that’s what it’s like then wow. So slow and done absolutely nothing. Went direct a few times and nearly got in final touch let them down. Pissing about with the ball at the back when you have the wind behind you and passing it between the keeper and cb’s good to see us back to how we play best organised, solid, hard working and scoring goals a bonus. don’t need to go on about the ref. Clearly fucking hopeless and loves to be centre of attention a proper fucking w****r is mr Napier

4 points off top and the cigars were out today rascals raith scoring late and didn’t notice

No thank you to that draw

Jacobs turned down a loan move is slightly disappointing

I know but I can see what he said happening in this sense
