thomas Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Right who we booing and getting on the back of after that? I'll start fucking Nahmani should have got a hattrick, useless. Don't start me on Hemming, a clean sheet? Got to do better. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 I was at the Arbroath game last season and came away frustrated but not overly concerned. Felt we should have taken them then. Im in highlands this weekend so couldnt make the game but given last week I expected another one or two goal affair either way today. Chuffed we've made easy work on a game we know from previous experience is a banana skin and two new lads have got confidence boosting goals. Only dampener is that hopefully Kiltie and Strain are OK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston_bud Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Arbroath were shite, they were more interested in wrestling than trying to play any football. But we stood up to that and thoroughly deserved our 4 goal victory. Only criticism is that we could've been a bit more clinical and scored 7 or 8. Strain limping off is a concern, it looked a pretty innocuous foul. Hope he hasn't twisted his ankle or something. Special mention to the referee, nice to see it's not just players that need to get up to speed at this time of year. I genuinely think he left his cards in the dressing room in the first half. There were 2 or 3 pretty poor fouls with no card, first two fouls of the second half - two bookings.

ZingaliMan Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Robinson is right the squad defently looks stronger than last season . 16 year old Sutherland did not look out of place. I believe we will see more goals this season than last season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see how they do. all with good pass marks for me, remembering of course this is Arbroath, but looks like my views on the two front men were a match for our Elvis's positivity, very early days but will be more than pleased to be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Hopefully Strain’s injury is nothing serious, just enough to put off possible suitors please. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-g Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Good performance , well taken goals. We look tidy when we get the ball down and pass it. What a start for Nahmani , hope he keeps banging them in like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Both Kiltie and Strain with sore ones. Nahmani looks a player and boy can he finish. First real look at Mandron and he will be a resl asset if he stays fit. Robbo knows a player. My one worry is midfield. If Baccus stays then we are ok. However we lack a bit of strength in depth in midfield. I like Gogic and Boyd Munce but we need other options. Would love to get in someone like Lowrey of Rangers for example. I am also in favour of keeping Jamieson at the club. I like him as a player even as an option to bring off the bench. We look like unearthing a gem in Sutherland. This lad looks the part.

saintmurn Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Yes Arbroath were poor but everything was miles better today. Tempo, fitness levels, decision making, structure. Nahmani was not just lightning quick but his composure was excellent. So happy big Mandron got a goal too, should hopefully boost his confidence in front of goal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Arbroath were utterly atrocious footballing wise. Were more about grappling than anything else. Really should have had more than 4. The change at the end to bring on Greive, Jamieson and Nahmani really upped the pace and was excellent. Difficult to tell how good we were given Arbroath's performance. Hopefully Strain and Kiltie are not badly hurt. Ref struggled the whole game and not sure how Balde the number 25 survived the 90mins I'll never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac28 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Great result and a great performance from the team. Carry this into the next 2 games and we will have some confidence for the start of the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Strange group this one.... If we beat Cowdenbeath and Arbroath beat Forfar midweek we'd then just need a penalty-shoot out win over Forfar to top the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 No failures at all today. Hemming looked comfortable and the defence seem to have confidence in him. My first sighting of Ethan Sutherland -is he really only 16 ? He looks a prospect. And Jamieson showed more today than I'd seen from him previously. Quite impressed by him, especially his pass for Nehmani's first goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Looking calm infront of goal. Quite an underrated quality, I think. Nahmani had chances today, and he didn’t fidget. He didn’t panic and lash at it. Took his time, side footed it. No idea if he will score goals in the SPFL Premiership, but todays sub appearances bodes well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
