Salvo Montalbano Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Yeah, I'd assumed we'd be in the corner of the Main Stand again. Doesn't really bother me one way or another as the view from both is fine and it's hardly a long walk from one bit to the other if I get it wrong when parking up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 It'll be similar to what we took through to Hamilton I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly think you’ll be looking at around 700-800 Pars fans. Seem to have a core away support of around that number. Doesn’t seem to be a great deal of enthusiasm amongst our wider fanbase. I’ve enjoyed watching the team this season, but it seems like some of our fans expected us to dominate every week - which is unrealistic in this division. It’s more competitive and the standard of players are better than they were in 2015-16. We’re winning most weeks, we’re well organised and battling hard. I just like seeing us win, regardless of performance. Next 2 games will be a good test for us. Airdrie played well at East End. Looking at results, it seems like Airdrie have a lot of attacking threat, but are vulnerable at the back. Given our strength is our defending and scoring goals is a weakness, it has the makings of a decent game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like everyone else has said I reckon 500-700, there’s a good core of Pars away fans that go week in week out regardless of opposition/form. Won’t be making it myself as I’ve something on in Edinburgh. Good test for us, I thought Airdrie played well in the first half at East End in August (which feels like 10 years ago), however we played well in the second half, threw everything at it late on, hit the woodwork, had a goal chopped off which was soft. Since then Airdrie have done okay, sometimes absolutely batter good teams and sometimes get absolutely humped. If the Pars can walk out of this double header with full points I’d be ecstatic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Overheard someone yesterday saying we were waiting to see if a Saturday was available for the Falkirk rescheduled game. I thought it must be the next round of the cup should Falkirk lose to Darvel, however we’re already pencilled in to play Peterhead (a) that day (11th of March). Looked at our remaining fixtures and they all go Saturday to Saturday with no gaps until the end of the season which means that there’s no way we could be hoping for a Saturday. Hopefully hear something about that this week! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh it will have to be a Tuesday or Wednesday and I assume thankfully we haven't decided to try and play it on valentine's day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad enough the time we played then on April 1st. Sammy came out wearing a Falkirk top, their fans started singing COYP and I felt like I was in a cuckoo clock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Was hoping to see a centre back coming this week, still time but not a great deal of confidence anything will be done. Huge game on Saturday and we need to get recruits in for some really tough and improtant games over the course of this month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was already pretty desperate but after the Breen incident it was magnified. Whether Breen is injured or not I don't know, but we need cover at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how Breen is, but there’s no way he’ll be 100% after being stretchered off last week. Also not convinced by Comrie as a longer term option in the back 3. To be honest, I’m not totally sure how we’ll set up. Airdrie have some decent attacking players and Clyde exploited space behind the wing backs, so would imagine Airdrie will be able to do that more effectively. Back 4 might be a ‘safer’ option this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I’m concerned about our lack of centre back options. Assuming Breen won’t be fit this week, we’ll have Sam Young, who I don’t think has played a league match, and Kyle Benedictus. That isn’t ideal. Hamilton I suppose you can put in there, but then your creating a headache in the middle where we really need him for the midfield battles. We’re allowed to make 3 more loans before the end of the month. Need to make signings pronto. We’ve been using Comrie as a centre half, who isn’t the best there. He does a job, but you’re wanting a bit more than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyPar Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Comrie has started at right centre back in the last 4 league games, he's kept a clean sheet in 3 of those. Think it's harsh to say he isn't great there. That doesn't take away from the fact that we absolutely need at least one centre half in on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 He offers a Tierney like overlap on the right for MacDonald which I like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Well I'm sure we'll find out today if Breen is okay when the Thursday managers interview comes out. The youth centre half we have, Sam Young, would be able to cope with L1 football if called on? I know he's been on the bench a few times and played in the challenge cup defeat up at Dens. He looks fairly physical so I think he could cope with that part of it. Anyone seen him play regularly for the reserves/youths? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Both Young and Fenton are physically not ready for games as important as this. The management need to lower their standards a get somebody in. It's better than no cover. was the Breen fright on Saturday not a big enough warning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
