dee_62 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Well, the Forfar Juggernaut, fresh from its successful jaunt up and down the A96 is set to head south this weekend to Annan. Provided there are no injuries reported this week, Father TOB should be straight back in to replace Malcs and I reckon the management team are still trying to break Travis in gently, so Munro will retain his place. Midfield played well at Elgin but I'm not sure when McCawl's loan spell ends. If Milne is fit, he may get back into the starting XI. The only other possible change would be Lister in for Peters. GB seems to favour Jim and, after a couple of blanks from Josh, there may be a change up front. However we go, I'll be happy. Team seem to have a great spirit at the moment with the fairly settled side able to come back from behind in the last few games. 3000 Loons to make the trek south, pies to sell out early, 50/50 £275. 4-3 Forfar win with a last minute winner...wait...have we done that one yet?

tbsouth Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thought the midfield struggled at times....i would chuck TOB in there just for this game...Kerr and Coxy up front...run them ragged!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's losing out in midfield then? McCawl (if he's still here), Foxy or Milne? Not so sure if TOB in midfield is a good call though, with both Travis and Munro just coming back from injury. TOB at CH and either of the other two able to replace each other if something goes Pete Tong. The possibility of both returnees needing replaced before the 90 minutes is too much of a risk. TOB will get his midfield chance when Foxy's suspension kicks in and the previous mentioned CH's have had a bit more game time/chance to recover from injury. Kerr won't get a start before Lister or Peters but might have a shot at subbie, depending if we we need a brawn, shoot on sight or pace policy.

tbsouth Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Kerr 'should' get a start ....Murray in midfield would also be an option as we need a pace and a bit of dig in there....lets just stop conceding silly corners and try and keep the ball away from the keeper...

We have a keeper ? The elephant in the Room eh? Is Grant overdue a wee rest? My biggest gripe (and it's not just him but a lot of keepers these days). When they (keepers) are facing a corner and there's a man standing right on them. Many will set up with the forward between them and another defender instead of the old fashioned positioning of the defender next to the keeper, trying to edge the attacker out of the way. Grant seems to like the attacker next to him but then doesn't seem "robust" enough in his attempts to get to the ball. Grrr! Do we know how competent McGovern is?

marco44 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Going to be a difficult game this for Annan. Couple of good results recently so confidence should be high. I think Annan will win 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
