If Arbroath had sat 3 or 4 years ago and though whose going to want to sign for us we're a part time team with gates of a few hundred in a ramshackle stadium which freezes your balls off and we've little chance of going further then they wouldn't now been top of the bloody championship.

ilostmyself Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Would people accept us basically papering over the cracks in this window and saving money for a title challenge next year?I think there's next to no chance of 3rd or above and without serious reinforcements we will really struggle for 4th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 4th is achievable and once in the playoffs you have at least a chance of promotion. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's next to no chance of 3rd or above and without serious reinforcements we will really struggle for 4th. I can see the logic in this, even if we make 4th there is nothing to say we would definitely go up through the play offs. Only downside is that every year we stay in this league it will be harder to get up. Next season you could have Kelty up who will throw money at it, Queens Park, Airdrie, Montrose and possibly Dunfermline. If Rennie and Miller were to stay longer and said they didn’t want to waste cash just signing players for the sake of it in the difficult January window but have a real tilt at going for the title next season then I could buy into it. Nothing however to say we could definitely go up next season, it’s a difficult one either way. One thing for certain though, without 3 or 4 quality additions this month we can forget the play offs as the current squad won’t make it no matter what Rennie and Miller do.

The defence is as bad as ever, but at least there is an emerging style of play, and we are scoring goals (albeit not enough to overcome the goals that the defence seem happy to concede each and every week), but still, things have improved. Who would you consider to be an inspiring coach after a month or so in charge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s 16 games to go and we are 3 points behind a struggling QP team. Cove have gained 12 points on us in the last 5 games. Any sort of run of victories and we should make the playoffs and let’s not pretend the teams we’d be facing are any good. That been said they are currently better than us so this all depends on a good window. If we don’t sign at least 4 we’ve no chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t bother this window and just accept floating above the bottom two then the ST would drop next season, which would affect the budget. If, however, you sign players in this window that can help the team into next season and make decent strides, then the ST sales would likely be okay as most fans would be optimistic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This stuff about giving up on this season and preparing for a push for the title next season is complete nonsense. You cannot just go into cruise control for half a season, that would lead to stagnation or even regression. We must strive to improve and compete from NOW not August. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I didn't think it was the right appointment and rather we'd gone after Murray, but Rennie comes across extremely well, as you say there is an obvious style of play and we're scoring. Despite losing at the weekend, in a game we should have won, the players never chucked it at 2 nil, which for me is a big improvement. Just hoping that we can bring in some quality and build some momentum for an assault on the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbri Bairn Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Still have newspaper clippings about the Texaco Cup games against Coventry City. Was it Setterington that scored? Went to the away tie and was a disappointed 12 year old on the way up the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
