Scary Bear Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 A draw and an away win against these lads so far. Can we get another win? I’m not holding out much hope of getting a run of wins and challenging. This team don’t seem capable. Even if we had Vaughan in the team, which we don’t, defensively we are chronic. Best we can hope for is to limp along to the play-offs and hope for blind luck getting us through. Whatever happens we need a bit of a squad re-build. Hopefully McGlynn does a better job than that fucking charlatan Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hopefully we can pick up a win on Tuesday night. 15 ahead going into this would be some boost. If we win Tuesday I think we should just go for it and treat it as a cup final. Best case scenario 18 ahead by close of play with 13 to play, worst case 9. Would have taken both of they outcomes in a heart beat if offered it at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayf78 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Think Tuesday is a massive game, going into this 15 points clear would be massive for us and would take the pressure off slightly, allowing us to play with freedom which could allow us to perform better. Don’t want to lose Tuesday because losing on Saturday after that cuts the gap down to 9 points and that bundles the pressure on us, need to keep a healthy gap and win the league at the earliest opportunity.

CALDERON Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Seasons gone until May, but hopefully we can start putting some kind of decent run together. That defence is absolutely awful though so we will concede at least one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Remember, Raith drew their last league game. We can afford to do the same. Accordingly, I would be happy to go into this "only" 13 points clear and get out of Kirkcaldy with a draw. There's a finite number of games left, and if we match Raith's result every week, we win the league with 4 games to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 This game is completely irrelevant to Arbroath, who have the league wrapped up. All about trying to get any form of positive momentum going. Time for the players to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 2-0 Arbroath, linn and Spence with the goals. Davidson red card and will square go a Raith supporter on way off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superlichtie87 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Would be happy with 4 points from the next 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Stark(s Park) Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I have refused to believe the league is over all season. Like mentioned above if Arbroath lose Tuesday and to us that’s 9 points clear with us still to play them again, we win that it’s 6 points.Granted if Arbroath do win on Saturday I’ll happily, finally concede the league to Arbroath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to win every game between now and the end of the season( unlikely as our biggest win streak this season is a whopping 2 games) and even if we were to manage that. I still can’t see Arbroath dropping enough points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my thinking as well. We win on Saturday and then back it up with a home defeat to a Lewis Milne inspired Montrose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank conner Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The manager has a free hit here change the defence and I don't think to many fans will complain but to go with the same defence that's just criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got to appease the fans and the players until the end of the season. Nurse us along until the play-offs. You never know the day, but I can’t see McGlynn making drastic changes after an away defeat to a Premiership side. I do wonder how many defeats he’s going to suffer before he makes changes, but other than dropping Davo and/or Bene for McKay and/or Murray and maybe trying Watson/Bene at full back, i’m not sure what he’d try. Personally i’d have Murray at centre half. He’s better there. I’d need to look back to see who he was partnered with last time he played there. Wedderburn is also a possibility in the centre of defence. 3 at the back again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therein lies the problem. McGlynn’s stubbornness to strengthen that dismal defence will be our undoing. We’re a poor squad as it is. Davo will be offered a longer contract in the summer too. Oh lordy please god No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh lordy please god No. As I said no fan would argue about giving a young player a chance what does he have to lose? He has to try something.
