Add Stevie D, who also contributed this year, and that's more than half a team. What a time to support AFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farflung lichtie Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Having this solid core of quality players (a different kind of ‘spine’ of the team) brings reassuring continuity and a great foundation upon which to build. It’s maybe not as common as when I first start supporting the Lichties decades ago since you feel there is more turnover around.It’s a relief to be discussing facts. On the AFC-QoS thread, it’s suddenly gone all delusional with fevered talk of ‘going full time’ and ‘winning another promotion’. We’re something like the 32nd largest settlement in Scotland, the opposite of affluent. I’m enjoying currently punching above our weight without wishing to bring the whole show down through overreach. Unless there’s a rich magnate out there and even then that would still bring us down eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to what Alloa have done, hopefully we could do even better. Premiership talk is mad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 In regards to Wighton. That's the kind of loan I was hoping we could've maybe secured at the start of the season. I think it's a better level of player than what I'd have hoped for but it's definitely a top loan signing for us and one that we would not have been capable of pulling off had we been in the division below. Without wanting to bring Alloa up again I think that's what they've managed in the past with guys like Zanatta, Aitchison, Banks and Shields. Guys like that and Wighton can make a big difference going forward. Seen that already in the last couple of games. It's also good to have Hilson on board permanently. Another guy who's shown he can make a big difference going forward, been very impressed and a bit surprised at how good the guys work rate is. Up and down the park for the full 90. Running about sliding about winning tackles in the 91st minute Saturday past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yeah and people were saying Hilson was a poor signing and Forfar fans were telling us they wouldn’t miss him and he doesn’t score goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on mate, Whole team was superb on Saturday, Hilson reminds me of McKenna, never gives up and is full of energy right up until the final whistle, love players with that attitude and mentality 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-0 Maroon Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Arbroath in the Premiership, It’s absolutely incredible we are even discussing it without sounding like we have lost the plot I mind when we won league 2 in Stirling DC said we are going up to compete in League 1 then backtracked and said it’s about consolidation then we wanted to have a real go the following season after getting to the playoffs and now we are in the championship we totally just wanted to consolidate and now we are in the playoffs it’s about the premiership absolute genius madness. What a time to be a lichtie though and I am sure like me your all reveling in the most exciting part in the clubs history so let’s just see how this pans out and like they say it’s all about the next game, Ayr, One game at a time.

1320Lichtie Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 To be fair I think it sounds like we've lost the plot still. If we are around the play offs with a couple of games left then fair enough but there's 12 games to go and the league is very tight. We are on a good run of form at the moment but we've been here before and then went on to only win 1 game from 8 after it.The good thing is we are nearly past the worst of winter, thought that was always going to be a difficult period. And can now focus purely on league games week to week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 If the players don’t think they can get themselves into the playoffs then they shouldn’t be at the club. We are a club on the up who as it stands have a chance of reaching the playoffs for the top division in the country. There should be absolutely no negativity surrounding this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The players and management have repeatedly said 8th, then when and if that is secured they can look further up the league. That is not negativity that is realism. Has a part time club ever been promoted to the Premiership? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you are spot on.Looking at you,re player stats from another poster there are striking similarities in both squads.A core of players with lots of appearances in mainly successful times with the clubs can only be a good thing.Getting the loan players right is the trick as they give you young full time footballers to help the already good players at the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
