TASC_1878 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 TASC SOCIAL MEDIA MAN OF THE MATCH - RESULT Congratulations to Thomas O’Brien on winning the TASC Social Media Man of the Match for his performance in the Lichties 1-0 win over Kilmarnock last night. Captain fantastic was absolutely immense at the back as were the rest of the back line. Let’s be honest though this award could have went to any player in maroon. A total team performance! 4 points clear baby!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Jack Hamilton is some boy is he. 13 in 20 games for us. Can’t mind a guy with that good a record for a long time? Looks way fitter stronger and faster than before too. Nouble was next level but don’t think he scores any of the goals Hamilton has so far, maybe the first v Darvel cause he’d have had a field day skinning their centre halves but the goal v Raith, the last 2 v Darvel proper finishers goals and the goal v Killie he’s just had a pop with his weaker foot, don’t think anyone else in the team does that from there. Hopefully he can keep it up he’s looking a lot better than what I expected and I expected him to be decent again 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farflung lichtie Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) Great statistical analysis of our season so far https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/2942697/stats-suggest-arbroath-win-championship/ Still a long way to go in the season. As in most previous years, the gap between top and bottom in the Championship has closed significantly as the season progresses. The top team in the Championship has accumulated only 2.2x the points tally of the bottom team compared with a similar ratio of well over 3+ for the three other divisions. I think we see this increasingly as more points are dropped by the top teams than earlier in the season. Basically there are definitely no easy games - any team can beat and certainly draw with any other in this league. So Dick and co are right to concentrate on the challenge each game poses. Definitely more uplifting to be challenging in different playoffs than we were hoping for at the start of the season.

Hopefully he can keep it up he’s looking a lot better than what I expected and I expected him to be decent again Agree with this. I was happy but a wee bit apprehensive about him coming back. Obviously none of us saw him in the flesh first time round so couldn’t really see the full player and what he contributed beyond the goals (which as a centre forward is enough really). Add in the, not exactly glowing reports from Livi fans - slow, lazy, disinterested etc and I was thinking last seasons goal flurry may have just been an anomaly. In reality though he’s even better than we could have hoped. Full of running and energy, sharp, physical, fully committed, constantly pressuring the defence and has an obvious eye for goal. Give him half a chance and he scores or makes the goalkeeper work at the very least. Something must not be a good fit for him at Livingston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to be reading all the goodwill from fellow football fans across the whole of Scotland - what an incredible time to be an Arbroath fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan3600 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 “Former Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths is close to joining Scottish League 1 side Falkirk on a deal to the end of the season. (Sky Sports)” Anton Dowds has no luck. Maybe we can loan him back. Falkirk are a clown car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Got to get Nicky Low middle of the park. So frustrating watching us unable to string a couple of passes together and he’s standing a million miles out wide on his todd That was as bad as I’ve seen us in a long long time but we dug in and got a point so fair play 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
