Lichtie78 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Buzzing for this, big game for us. Hopefully see carreiro back in the team as I felt Lowdon was forced off the ball a bit easily today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I hope to see davie crawford back, need his goalkeeping expertise and more importantly, his goal scoring threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Crawford should be fine I think, was walking after it pretty well probably just a precaution today. Also would like to see Carreiro and want Hunter back in the mix too disappointing he's been out recently. Crawford Little Nicoll Zubaidi McBride Whatley Stewart Carreiro Linn Murray McManus What a win this would be if we could get it would set up Albion away perfectly. Got to lose soon surely eh.... This doesn't feel right. 1 defeat in 13/14 weeks, wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Big improvement needed from yesterday. Carriero should slot back in with hopefully Lowden dropping out. Confidence high so hopefully we can keep this run going. Really wasn't impressed with Queens in the previous fixture so surprised to see them doing so well. Should be a decent game....let's just hope the wind doesn't ruin it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QPSAFalkirkFirm Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Really wasn't impressed with Queens in the previous fixture so surprised to see them doing so well. Should be a decent game.... Up until 3pm on Saturday we had made dramatic strides back to being a good team again. By 5pm we were reminded it's still work-in-progress. We've struggled up front with most goals from set pieces or midfield. With Arbroath's free-flowing attack/ goalkeeper it'll have to be a special effort for QP to win this one. Might need that wind.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relichtie Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Big improvement needed from yesterday. Carriero should slot back in with hopefully Lowden dropping out. Boss said in today's papers he sent the players out for a warm down to allow himself to calm down. He seems to be a hard taskmaster who isn't easily pleased. Good to see that even after our run of wins, AM believes that we can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to Nairn but we should have absolutely battered them. We had only ourselves to blame for hanging on at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Massive next 2 games v queens and albion who look like our closest challengers. 4-6 points could see us romp this league, any less will bring 1 or both right into play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisperer Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Next 2 will be important but long way to go before I feel anything like confident. Injuries, suspensions and 'off games' will happen during the season. It may have been fortunate that Saturdays cup game wasnt one of our best. I've no doubt manager will get the message across. We allowed Nairn to play through midfield. If QP get that chance they'll make us pay. We've got the fitba in the team, just got to keep up the work rate.

Hampden Diehard Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Arbroath roasted us earlier in the season and have been the best side we've played by a country mile. We are a much better side now but, as has been said, aren't creating a great deal up front. If Berry is fit and we can continue to pass the ball about a bit, we can only hope that usual wind isn't howling from end to end, and we'll compete just fine. If Berry's unfit, let the wind do its worst and we can set ourselves up for the normal big-boot-up football that these conditions generate far, far too often on the Angus coast. Looking forward to the day out. Is Ricky Little playing at full back these days? Great wee player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convenor Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 . We are a much better side now but, as has been said, aren't creating a great deal up front. Well, maybe on Saturday there, but before that we'd been doing pretty well up front, especially the 5 games Duggan played in. Unfortunately that's him crocked now. Hopefully Woods will be back as well for this Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtielegend Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Is Ricky Little playing at full back these days? Great wee player for us. He's started getting a bit of a look in there now. However, with Carreiro and Hunter both potentially coming back into the midfield, Mark Whatley might find himself at right-back again. He's been performing well in the last month though.

Looking forward to the day out. Is Ricky Little playing at full back these days? Great wee player for us . Thinking back to when we played you last time we were;Crawford Travis Nicoll Zubaidi (his 1st game?) Whatley Linn Hunter Stewart McBride McManus Buchan Our teams changed a bit since then and our formation aswell we seem to be playing 4-1-2-1-2 with the diamond in midfield. Crawford Little Nicoll Zubaidi McBride Whatley Carreiro Stewart Linn Murray McManus I prefer us playing this way more and I think we have improved a bit since the start of the season too, Little and McBride have come into the back 4 giving us probably the tallest defence we've had in years. Carreiro and Linn are the two attacking players in the midfield while Whatley and Stewart do the hard work. Murray coming in uptop has gave us that bit of real pace we lacked uptop with Buchan. It's quite harsh on Johnstone, Hunter and Lowdon aswell as they look like good players but always good to have depth to the squad, Travis who I think is a good centre half too has barely had a kick all season. These guys will be needed when the suspensions and injuries luck in later in the season though. Really looking forward to Saturday. And wouldn't worry about the wind, last few weeks have been fine, can only think of the Montrose and Albion games that have been bad this season.

SimonLichtie Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Elgin game rearranged for Tuesday 2nd of December..... does anyone in scottish football give a flying f**k about the fans, apart from the fans themselves? Absolute fucking lunacy for various reasons..... <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with Carreiro and Hunter both potentially coming back into the midfield, Mark Whatley might find himself at right-back again. He's been performing well in the last month though. Little started off at right back for us but got moved to centre defence where his performances were so good that this became his regular position. Has he ever played in the centre for Arbroath?

"It is with real sadness that we can announce the true extents of David Crawford's injury that he picked up on Saturday against Nairn County, to dispel the many online rumours that he would return on Saturday. David had a scan and it has revealed he has snapped his patella tendon in his knee and as a result will be undertaking surgery very soon. This sadly means he is expected to be out for 8 months which looks as if he will be forced to miss the rest of the season." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Birnstigl anyone seeing as he's an AFC legend... Seriously though afaik we only have Morrison as the other senior GK. I imagine we will have to use one of our loans to get somebody in. Hope Moore has somebody in mind. Pish news. ETA: Hope Crawford recovers well and sure we will see him in the team next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
