speckyboy Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Plus Gold had a better game today than Reid did last week. Its nothing to do with who YOU think is better than who, its about a team starting to gel and regular players interacting with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 you sound happy with the result,take another look at the table and Lumsdens record since taking over at Arbroath,he went into this game expecting a draw at best,no complaints on here at getting beat I wasn't happy with the result. I was happy with the performance though. You can't win them all, I'm happy as long as we are playing well and looking like a team. Wind your neck in.

Hammerafc Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Its nothing to do with who YOU think is better than who, its about a team starting to gel and regular players interacting with each other Defeat wasn't caused by Reid being dropped it was failures at the right back area. Elgin winger in acres of room for the first and non existent marking for the second. Can't comment on the penalty incident as couldn't see it properly. We were a bit unlucky that the wind dissappeared when 2 1 up but overall a good game to watch. And yes gutted that we lost it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtielegend Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Speckyboy has now jumped the shark, I'm afraid. It must be a parody account. In short, we were a bit lucky to go in at half-time level as Elgin were comfortably better for large parts of the first half. Second half we were doing quite well but the penalty incident really affected our momentum and mentality. The marking for the first goal was poor, shambolic for the third. Rutherford was excellent again. The work rate has always been there but he's now showing a bit more technical ability and is playing the lone striker role really well. Brilliant assist and an important goal which can hopefully be the start of a run. The team look quite settled now with few teams dominating us and individual mistakes are costing us rather than being totally outplayed. The one glaring problem is that no.10 role. We've tried Reid and Gold there now and it's not really worked. If we could get Andy Ryan signed up, that would be huge as Elgin showed yesterday, a good no.10 can make the difference. As frustrating as Easton is with his diving, I'd give my right arm for a player like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have more or less stated that the defending needs to be looked at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckyboy Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Well I'm sure Lumsden will take your advice do something about it this month as well as No.8 and No.5,and maybe "Jump the Dolphin" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLichtie86 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Its was the right call for the penalty decision. Probably one of the only things the ref did correctly in this game was listen to the advice of his assistant. Very rarely do we see an assistant make a decision in instances like this Only problem was it was against us not for us.......damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the footage, it is inside the box but it looks like a dive. I think the ref might be originally giving the free-kick for the little trip that happened 3 or 4 steps before Easton got into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
