The Arbroath Thread

[Lichtie78]

Not sure I like Dick’s “my granny would’ve scored” comments about Bobby.  Seems to single him out for criticism quite a bit, don’t really think it’s needed. 

Completely agree. Cynical view here, but I sometimes feel Dick is waiting for Bobby to miss chances like that so he feels vindicated in his decision to not start/involve him. Should’ve done better with them, yes, but he’s still the only one getting into those kind of positions.

Think DC knows Bobby can take it and will more than likely be wanting to get it up him and show him next time he plays. His interview after the Dunfermline game had that all over it.

Bobby swung the game back in our favour second half when he came on. Still looks the most dangerous player on the pitch for us and was massive second half of last season.

As my pal said to me yesterday. It’s becoming clearer that Petrie was the brains of the operation when they were at Gayfield 

Seemingly Ross Campbell is a big influence at Montrose. A partnership between manager and assistant is often important I think.

[timlichtie]

From a selfish point of view, does Sheerin going make it less likely we keep Dowds after Xmas? The new Falkirk manager will likely want all his players in to assess.

[Lichtie78]

Judging by him not playing in the cup, I think he might’ve gone back anyway. Not sure how I feel, he certainly has positive attributes but I wouldn’t be surprised if we managed to get better.

With teams like Raith setting up to defend against Nouble it gives the wide players like Bobby a bit of space. In recent times it was him that received the two defenders every time he got the ball. Now it’s Noubs.

Is the club planning on doing half season tickets in time for Christmas  ?

Bearing in mind we're pretty much in uncharted and exciting waters we really should be grabbing this opportunity with both hands.

I could see us shifting another 100+ given the chance.

No a difficult assumption to make, but an assumption all the same

Great player. His Arbroath teams were exciting but leaked goals. I’m not surprised he’s not such a good manager at a problem club. I thought he’d have learned a lot at Aberdeen but apparently not.

But I do notice his job at Falkirk was Head Coach, but no sign today of the director of footballs resignation, think this job will be difficult for anyone if Holt continues in post

I am sure Dowds is with us until the end of the season at the very least, I really like him and think he can do really well for us, If Nouble does go in January and we get Jack Hamilton back I think that could be a very interesting combo ️

[Lichtie78]

Dowds is only until January at the moment

Even the loans that are for the season can be recalled in January. Just depends on what the new manager is looking for.

[Lichtie78]

There’s actually an article in the courier with Dick saying he thinks Dowds will be away back. As mentioned before, one I don’t have too many strong feelings about either way.

Probably a better option than LD at this time 

[lichtiekev]

Could go for Doris and Hester in January,

[1320Lichtie]

Morelos and Edouard I reckon

Hopefully this will bring in some new local fans, plus some from outwith the area curious to see what's happening this season.

Even at £115 that's about £12 a game.

[ATLIS]

Apparently Hamilton will be staying with us beyond January possibly. Could be that Panayiotou heads out on loan to you guys

[Tattie36]

This season just gets better and better.

Frustrating that we've struggled more against the bottom half teams - 4 draws that we should have won would have had us clear at the top... if my auntie had balls.

Slightly contoversial question but will Nicky Low get back into this team? Took a while to adjust to him being missing but we're flying at the moment.
