Anyone that was there today could see the difference they two lads made when introduced. The movement was night and day from what we’ve seen lately. I believe in these guys and I believe we are going to have a good season 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in these guys and I believe we are going to have a good season Absolutely what L23 said. Also them 2 being on the park will let the boys playing in midfield get into spaces in and around the box to score goals. Genuine night and day stuff Also will be adding another couple of strikers I imagine From what I saw today Reilly is the boy we look to hit if we can to hold it in and play off. Gallagher more into channels. Soon as Reilly come in we had the wide men making runs before the ball even got to him because they knew he’d manage to either get the ball out to them himself or lay it off for Spalding / Slater to put the ball into space too Off the ball it’s more a 4-4-1-1 and Reilly and Gallagher both look like they want to work their socks off Edited July 27 by 1320Lichtie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtiekev Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Really scrappy game with one bit of quality winning it, Really tight pitch and wasn't much football played in first 60 mins, Reilly come on and made the difference, McAdams, ToB, Spalding played well and though Wilkie done well, Bisland had a tougher time but he gonna be a good signing, Hopefully Watson stays fit, long time since we had a big no nonsense defender, Coulson tried to hard at times and needed to release ball sooner, But first game and there is promise there, Still need 3 or 4 to come in with the obvious moving on, but pretty impossible with our situation Bit more positive for next week but still a lot of Improvement needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellichtie Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Spalding class, two full backs were good, Reilly played really well when he came on. Not sure where Walker was supposed to be playing, wasn’t surprised to see him come off. McAdams and TOB played a blinder I thought. Positive signs, although Bonnyrigg gave us a good game I thought, they just lacked a wee bit of cutting edge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlichtie Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 A hard fought victory which could have gone either way. A world class save from McAdams kept us in the first half. All 3 subs were impressive. Watson was really rallying the defence. Reilly quick and classy with a superb winner. Gallagher has a bit of sharpness to get but is going to be good. Coulson struggled first half on the right but definitely improved second on the left and could have scored. A second clean sheet and a goal from open play. Happy days! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr2004 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Any idea what made the guy in the white top so angry in the first half?! I was at the other end of the pitch but he seemed to have lost the plot about 30 mins in, seemed a bit excessive for a dead rubber league cup game that was still nil nil! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonLichtie Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I'm happy enough with that, and pleased to get a win before heading into the league season, but as I've said after every game so far, none of them really mean anything when it comes to the league season ahead. Today people saw a glimpse of what we've got coming for the season ahead - the obvious difference between Stowe up top on Tuesday and today first 60 mins and Reilly/ Gallagher is absolutely night and day. It's not just about them getting goals, it's about having focal points that can bring the entire team up the park and bring the ball down and get it out wide also. I know it's been hard to watch us have nothing up top for the last 5.75 games, but they mean nothing going forward, absolutely nothing. Today also, of course, means nothing, as does our good performance on Tuesday. Pre-season is now over, and next week things properly start. A lot of our players missing today should be back next week - Goldy, Callaghan, Scott Stewart and we should have a full bench. Once again, I really do feel there have been far more positives than negatives this month for us - once you add some quality upfront to the excellent structure we've shown behind that in every game bar one where we chased it with 10 men, I think we'll be in a really good place. The next two months are vital - we all want the team to succeed and that being the case lets get behind them. If things go wrong, Jim McIntyre will leave and we move on as a football club. It's as simple as that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroath36.0! Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) I hope that win today brings abit more confidence towards the management and playing squad for next weeks game against stenny! Positives I took fae the game was plenty of speaking throughout the squad today, Despite missing goldy, Stewart, dow callaghan, hammy boys who filled there positions put in a great shift, Another superb performance fae McAdams in the sticks, Ali Spalding like work horse today in the middle, Gavin reilly took his goal superbly a real strikers finish which no seen in a good while, CalGal coming on for some more minutes, Keith watson cool as a cucumber with that experience head which will be vital this within the squad hopefully stays injury free. Bistland another great performance too, Coulson played great at spells can see a player in there, with his skill and shooting ability, few things to work on but still young and hopefully willing to learn Negative side, watching us play with no striker from start it's a hard watch at times but can't be helped, to be honest jim played it well save the strikers picking up more knocks for more importantly the leage games. Unfortunately it's pain to say this but think will Mark stowes last start for arbroath I genuinely think there is player in there but majority of the time there isn't Unfortunately, personallya loan deal somewhere else where he can play week out would be beneficial for him atm.. And some fans losing the plot early doors quite embarrassing in my eyes and for the club too...let's try get this sorted out! Let's get behind the team next week down at stenny and take the game to them! Edited July 27 by Arbroath36.0! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Considering all the shite we've been through and we've just won our first game since the all weather lifeboat has departed, it's either rather quiet in here or everyone is celebrating the win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Pleased to get a win at last. I know that apparently results don't matter, but I think actually winning a game of any description will do the team the world of good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great , really great to get a win. But let’s keep calm. It was Bonnyrig and we sneaked a meaningless game 1-0. I’ll be cracking open the malt if we win our first two league games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning games can become a habit. Onto Stenhousemuir 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but I don’t even think it was the result that’s made me happy about yesterday It is the fact that there are a couple of guys on the park in your team that you’d fancy to score a goal now - it changes everything Did not think Reilly had that kind of finish in his locker yesterday either. Weak foot edge of the box drilled into the opposite corner from a standing start I text my mate this morning saying I think it is going to be hard for anyone not to really like Reilly. He seems like a real mature leader, very confident and assured of himself and never stopped working - looks like a really good professional and team mate first and foremost Suspect I will be feeling similar about Gallagher in a months time Edited July 28 by 1320Lichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
