No_Problemo Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Imagine signing two players from Ipswich. One performing well at left back, the other comes in who is a central midfielder. We then play the defender in central midfield while the actual central midfielder sits on the bench 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, our balance is terrible, 4 wingers, 2 midfielders and no strikers in that side, although having said that we all celebrated the signings of Smith, Walsh, Chalmers and even Zanatta when they happened, we also knew we already had McCowan and Moffat so none of us can say we all knew better, as we didn't. Today wasn't terrible when taken in isolation, we actually created more than we have for weeks and never looked in any sort of threat, however we failed to take any of our numerous chances and then got caught out by a cracking strike at the other end, so when things aren't going, they're really not going. Fair play to Arbroath, they saw the game out well and could even have added a second near the end. Yes, we are in trouble now, although certainly not terminal (yet) and the Morton game has now become a MUST Win I'm afraid, although the biggest worry is the hit to the confidence as that could do even more damage long term. Let's just hope Drey Wright is back for next week as hopefully that would restore the balance we so badly need....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying NEXT week is must win. TODAY was must win. We as individuals can all be optimists, which I am too. But our season has been a disaster, surely you can see that? Something needs to change and now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Can anyone name a team that just went on a winning streak after being on the form that we have been in - just out the blue - no change in management - just miraculously started winning?The signs were there from the very start of the season.Kerr has had long enough - he set it in place - it’s his team - his tactics - it’s not working - it too long down the road now and the rot has set it.Personally, I wish it wasn’t this way, but there can only be one change and that’s for him to be replaced and HOPE whoever takes over can get a tune out of this mob 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are definitely decent players (although I personally don't rate Zanatta) but any player can only be effective within a balanced team where each person knows their job and how they fit into the formation. In our case, I don't think Kerr even knows that let alone the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kejan Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Another marvelous win.. 1-0 to the Ars.....broath. I thought Hammy had a very good game today. He's often the forgotten man, and whilst he's not a superstar, he more often than not does his job.. Midfield was excellent. Moore was superb when he came on, helped Hammy as well. Fantastic win at a very difficult place. The league is so tight, a couple of wins and you never know playoffs? Then again if Alloa pick up and we start to lose could go the other way. Still, 8 games now! Well done and already buzzing for next week 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ's tactics have been (rightly) questioned frequently since he's come back, our gameplay before this form was between decent and absolutely awful, the players' lack of fight was seriously questioned and on more than one occasion Dobbie's leadership was questioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Unbeaten in 2021 and a very valuable 3 points from a difficult game. Although perhaps not as good as the recent run of games, it's still a very good result with 9 games left to play. Both Thomson and Hilson put in great shifts - and what a goal by McKenna. Arbroath are looking good sitting mid table. With 27 points still to play for there will be a lot of tables and ladders in the league table in the coming weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
