Silverton End Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 For a wee fleeting moment (@ 2-1 up) I thought we'd break our away form today. Same rules apply though. Prefer Brad Spencer to start over Barr any day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'm just thinking of the ex-Sons mentioned on the radio in the last 24 hours. All doing quite well apparently as they are all playing in sides above us in the SPFL. Alan Lithgow and Steven Saunders (Livingston) Jordan Kirkpatrick (St Mirren) Scott Taggart, Andy Graham (too slow at this level 4 years ago?) and Kevin Cawley (Alloa Ath) Allan Martin (QoS) Kevin Nisbet, Chris Duggan and Lewis Vaughan (Raith) and Scott Agnew and Scott Linton (East Fife) Feel free to add any that I've missed. Cheer up though, it looks like the Bosman ruling might not apply here after March 29th 2019. We'd have got at least 17/6 for the players above, enough for the deposit on an EU travel warrant.

Jan Vojáček Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Looking at the fixture list, we have a few massive games between now and the next time we meet Raith in early February. Stranraer, Forfar and Montrose at home and Stenny, Brechin and Airdrie away. Forfar seem to have a bit of a hex on us these days, but we've been good at home recently - so anything less than 7/9 points out of that run and I'll be disappointed. Our away form simply has to improve, and with our next two games being against the sides (at the moment) beneath us we could really open up a gap (and push for fourth)...or find ourselves in a very unpleasant position. Oh, and there's the small matter of (hopefully) reshaping the squad a bit in January too... Should be an interesting two months or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 To look a wee bit on the bright side, at least we've now scored away from home under Jim Duffy. Going on what people who were there today said, we just have to sort out the shambolic defending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Apropos of nothing, So8 mentioned Boomer on the Raith game thread; by my reckoning it's now almost a year to the day when he went down in the centre circle in a crumpled heap in the home fixture with Falkirk.I recall my feeling of dread that he was going to be out for a long time, one that I shared with my mates. It was horribly accurate and ever since I have viewed that precise moment as the point at which the wheels began to come off. The decline continues to this day, but I consider that's when it started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 On 12/15/2018 at 16:57, O'Kelly Isley III said: There was a terrible inevitability about today's ending at Kirkcaldy; off the top of my head that's now away league matches at Brechin, Stenny, Airdrie, Stranraer and Raith where we have been leading but have proceeded to lose four and draw one. Our inability to defend a lead is becoming extremely costly. Having watched the highlights and having been at the Brechin and Stenny games, I think it stems from two things. 1) Lack of fitness - this can be worked on 2) Lack of heart/courage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 What on earth is McGowan doing at Nisbet's equaliser? Also, although he (McGowan) is also culpable for Murray's goal, I can't see Dyer anywhere near where he is supposed to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 What on earth is McGowan doing at Nisbet's equaliser? Also, although he (McGowan) is also culpable for Murray's goal, I can't see Dyer anywhere near where he is supposed to be.That was my thoughts about mcgowan exactly, the equaliser seemed to just bounce off Nesbitt and go in in slow motion. The 3rd Raith goal has to be his ball, as I said on the match thread it's travelled a long way, dropped 3 yards from him and he just watched it. Fully culpable IMO. We need a keeper that is decent and fully fit! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Why is it that I can't get this scene from 'I'm Alan Partridge' out my head whenever I think of Aitken meeting his Army? Spoiler Second time I've referenced this already this season, albeit last time it was in relation to me and Ross Forbes. Which may or may not be accurate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
