FifeSons Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The team with the worst home form in the league (a stat I was surprised to learn) play host to the team with the worst away form in the league. Set up to be a cracker... When you look at our next three games, this is probably the most winnable, given we always lose at Stranraer and East Fife are flying. Clearly we need Duffy to pull something out of the bag before this, otherwise we can forget any chance of winning. I'm sure Airdrie will be keen to bounce back from their dismal defeat at Stenhousemuir (thanks for that Diamonds) and will fancy their chances of getting it, given how dire we are. Personally, I'll be praying all week for the return of Dom Thomas. Spoiler The main talking point, however, will be Ian Murray and Bryan Prunty both in the home dugout providing a real conflict of emotions for a now disbanded group of travelling fans.

She who dares gins Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The fans need a reaction from the players this week. Has to be a home won to rescue the momentum we’ve been building and keep anyone - Saturday was awful. Hope we keep the young lad Glass in - but god knows how we sort out the creativity problems up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling Victoria seems bizarre if that's the case, he was literally the only creative player (for either side) in the previous matches I've seen. We need players in. Preferably ones that give as much as Boris Melingui gave us on Saturday. On that note, if Killie are still humming and hawing over giving us Thomas back this morning then I'd be slapping a contract on Boris' table and moving on. We've got too many issues to be sat waiting on that news only to find out on Wednesday or Thursday that he isn't coming back. Hopefully Craig Barr is fit enough to start and we pick the defence through logic and reason rather than pulling names out of a tombola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t overwhelming bothered to see him loaned out, I don’t think the answer lies within the current squad or I would have been up in arms. Murray doesn’t seem to rate him in an event, so for his sake he’s probably better off elsewhere getting a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 This one is about as appealing as a boot in the dick. Count me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Unless we sign a goalkeeper, box-to-box midfielder, targetman and Dom Thomas before this we'll lose imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Our thread being deleted twice in the last few weeks is so incredibly small time. Clearly someone needs to man/woman up. As for the game, I am working and could miss it. Ya dancer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mybitchunderprotest Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Last night's reserve game v East Kilbride off due to weather. With temperatures way below zero for the rest of the week there would have to be doubt about this game going ahead surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought plastic pitches could cope with below freezing temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I dont think its cold enough to affect the game. I can see us change the shape of the team for this one. Although our defence is settled, we aren't scoring enough. Our midfield aren't moving the ball well enough, and we are too predictable at times. I can see us going 4411, 4231 or 433 whatever way you see it. I won't make the late fitness test for this one, but IMO I think the 4231 would suit our personnel better.Big reaction from this lot required, as defeat doesn't exactly rule the playoffs out, but makes it a hell of a difficult to secure a spot in them.

++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Looked scary on your Twitter pic mate. Last 10 league games we've lost 1 goal per game average which is a good trend. But the 1.4 goal per game average isn't so good. We're improving but still got work to do getting that balance right.That word is absolutely key.... "Balance".There's been a lack of it, as you say, the last wee while its been as sound defensively as you're likely to get in this league (who'd have thought that In September). Still trying to find that breakthrough in the final third though, and a day or so to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I think the new manager is doing a great job so far, considering what he has to work with. Saw on an EF thread that we've tried (unsuccessfully) to get one of their players, so he's clearly still looking to add to the squadI absolutely agree he's doing a great job, he's been hampered with an overpaid, mostly sub par squad and he's done the initial things well (make them harder to beat) but Im not going to bang on about the attacking problems as they've been done to death the last few days. Its an obvious problem that has to be addressed to make the next step forward in progression.I've every faith he will address this, possibly not between now and the seasons end, but 100% in the summer.
