Ugwu surely did well with his hold up play v Morton on the worst pitch we’ve likely played football on in the last decade? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 When was the last time Arbroath beat us prior to when they pretty much wrapped up the league at Stark's in that god awful 18/19 season? I had a look through "Always Next Season" and it indicates it might have been as far back as 1979. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it’s happened 6 times since before the 18/19 season and after 1979, most recent 2003, not played much between then and a few years ago. Weather seems ok tbh it’s blustery but nothing mental. Drove past the front and that’s how it felt, could be wrong though but seemed pretty average. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will all change after today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Rovers book but it gives the match results showing with us always being the on the fixtures (so the 2003 game would be a 0-1 despite Arbroath being the home team). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroath's form that season was pretty incredible: looking back I think you'd need to go back to Queen of the South to have found a team who won the League 1 title with such consistency in their results. It's not really a surprise we finished 3rd when we had a team with three mediocre holding midfielders - it doesn't help when your two best creative players (Vaughan and Hendry) get cruciate injuries. Even Kevin Nisbet firing in 30 goals didn't help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red was rescinded and hopefully the ref that day has never officiated in the league again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Massive problems for us, 5 players out. Hamilton and Craigen big misses Hopefully we can rise to the occasion but would gladly take a point with that line up -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Musonda will be a big miss for us. The Davo/Bene dream team reunite. Still no Vaughan either, anyone heard anything? I’m also going to say this almost in the hope of jinxing it... but I’ve never seen anything from Jamie Gullan to suggest he can be an effective number 10. His good games have been almost exclusively from the left hand side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Shite luck with injuries continues. Bene returns to fitness only for us to lose Musonda. Matthews is another big miss in a battle like I expect today to be. I would have stuck with 3 centre backs today to grind it out but McGlynn has reverted to our best ‘footballing’ line up. Time will soon tell whether it is the correct decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Musonda out is bad news. Back to the clasic combination that didn't really look good in L1. Duku continuing to be left out the side is a bit weird. One day we won't have a number of players injured.
