No one is going to disagree with that - of course we won't beat teams if we are still off form - that is clearly understood - never seen any posts disputing that. The point is, if we can get back on form, we will give these teams a game - but ONLY if we get our form back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hit form we will give these teams a game - of that I am certain. The question is, will we be ready, will the good run of form return or will be be off form and struggling - this will be the deciding matter. If we remain stuck in a bad run of form then of course we will lose these games - that is clearly understood. We are all hoping we can return to form and get back on track. The result against Dunfermline last season was my personal low point of the year. One of the worst bits of management I've ever seen. I could easily see it happening again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a decent outfit, probably as good as anyone we've played this year apart from DU I'd say, we were shite to be honest, we were under strength with a lot of injuries and a makeshift starting 11 and only 3 outfield subs (shocking I know). Think you will have a tough game on your hands, but all the best 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt you can give Rovers and Dunfermline a game, but you've won one game in your last eight against Raith, which doesn't feel like a particularly good track record. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also haven’t played Dunfermline in the league since March 22 (although we got hammered by them in the diddy cup last season) but why let facts get in the way of a classic Clashy fantasy post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all in agreement that we are suffering a loss of form since late Oct - this has had an impact on results. Saturday's result was unacceptable - but if the player's can find their mojo, recover their form, gain self belief and recover from their injuries we will have a good squad ( yes, we need to sign a defender and midfielder ) - but we have a very good squad who have lost their form. Get our form back and we can give these teams a game - it's a matter of getting the player's confidence back and getting them focused into winning games - at the moment we have been derailed. This is no fantasy post - regain our form and we will start winning games. DC and the coaching squad will be working on these things this week - a good result on Sat could be the starting point of recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The only way you'll be 4th if you win your two games in hand is if no other Championship games are played before then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timlichtie Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 It looks like we may be close to a full squad on Saturday. Just Macintosh in doubt I believe and ToB a possibility. I’m looking forward to a decent performance at Spartans to get us going again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely one of the worst games I've ever been to. Aside from being hammered, another thing that sticks in my head about that game is that we had what looked like a perfectly good goal not given. I think it was 1-1 or 1-2 at the time, the ball looked like it was a good foot over the line before their keeper saved it. that seemed to knock the stuffing out of us a little although Spartans were brilliant that day and worthy winners so not sure it would have made much difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Is there a match thread for Saturday?Definitely sense a bit of apathy amongst the support at the minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
