DUAFC Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I think he is. I suspect the silence is while contractual matters are resolved, sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLichtie86 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Low was looking to leave before the season started. Think due to personal reasons. Then it was announced he was staying.Since then we have signed Scott Allan and it all makes sense. Allan is an ideal replacement for Low and i am convinced that it was agreed that if we signed a suitable replacement for Low then he would be allowed to leave.If the player is not wanting to stay at the club then there is no point in hanging on to him. If he ends up back at a FT club then so be it. He obviously believes he still has it in him to play and train at a full time level after everything that has happened to him with injuries.Wish the lad all the best but hope he has a shite game when he plays against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully all involved can work something out and have a rethink to keep him at Gayfield for this season - we will know for sure very soon. This coming week will see players coming and going, a few being released, some going out on loan and others coming in on loan. If we can get the players required we can kick on with the season. I hope a deal is done, if not, he should have been professional enough to be available for selection today, if fit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a deal is done, no problem with that, if he’s injured, no problem with that, if the manager, just chose, not to pick him, no problem with that, my problem would be if the player, in some way forced the manager hand, by not making himself available for selection, even when fit, before a deal is done 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayf78 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Low and Craigen would be two Arbroath players I’d love to have. Low won’t happen because he’ll utterly fall to pieces if he goes FT and I can’t see Craigen being one that would be let go. Besides that I’m genuinely struggling to think of an Arbroath player I’d have right now. McKenna would be another. Think it shows how far Arbroath have fallen and how much we’ve improved key areas. You’re not trying to tell me you wouldn’t have TOB or Scott Allan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have Arbroath fallen from? They were well punching above their weight last season. IMO another season in the Championship is a result for Arbroath. They are an example to us diddy clubs of what can be achieved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 You’re not trying to tell me you wouldn’t have TOB or Scott Allan That the same TOB that’s been sent off twice this season already and was utterly rag dolled at Somerset by Akinyemi. I actually like him but our current backs are too important to be dropped. Where have Arbroath fallen from? They were well punching above their weight last season. IMO another season in the Championship is a result for Arbroath. They are an example to us diddy clubs of what can be achieved. Fallen from being the second best team in the league. Not really hard to understand mate. They also had very good players for this level so not exactly sure how much they were punching above their weight. They might’ve been PT but it was hardly a team of highland league players being fielded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 TOB has had a nightmare start to the season. Was utterly horrendous against us as well and that's saying something considering our CH's have been brutal too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing non league football and we gave him a two year contract. He was injured for a large part of last season.

lichtie23 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I must admit that after yesterdays pretty inept performance I’m becoming increasingly concerned. The midfield got totally overrun and again we created nothing up front. From memory I can only remember there keeper making 1 pretty routine save. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protects the club from him leaving after a year for nothing.The club will get a fee. Player gets a move that suits his personal circumstances. And we have a replacement in place and have time to bring others in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superlichtie87 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Any rumours of what players we may be bringing in? Is Charlie Adam still linked? Would he be a good replacement for Low? If there are 3/4 players coming in we will have a big squad so which players may leave on loan or permanently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Everyone’s been woeful and we need to stop making excuses for the defence too, this spooked thing needs to stop. Gaston, Shanks and Allan on his limited time on the park have been the only guys that have played to a standard I would expect Also can I just say this is what supporting a football club is all about, a period like this was always coming after last year. 30 years old now and seen this and been here before, stop hitting the panic stations and embrace it. It would be worrying if we never had a good squad of players but we do, we have plenty of good players who are underperforming for various reasons. We clearly aren’t finished with ins and outs, lots of changes week to week and I think there’s an added pressure this year Getting 2000 home fans every game and for the first time there is an expectation on them this year. We have never ever had that at this level 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momentum in this league is so important, look at the difference after we got that first league win at home to Partick last year. We were heading for a defeat there too by the way, McKenna lucky goal on the half changed the game. Need a win and need it soon. Need to get business done and get a settled squad, 2/3/4 out and 2/3/4 in still to come and we are 5 games into the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
