lichtie23 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Opening day is here as we welcome Inverness Caley to Gayfield. We’ve had a very successful pre season/Premier Cup campaign which should hopefully give the squad a boost going into the start of the league season. TOB probably our only injury doubt but Liam Henderson has filled in very well beside Ricky Little at the heart of our defence. I’d expect LD to get the start ahead of Nouble up front after his very impressive performance against Kelty yesterday. Hopefully it’s a successful and uninterrupted season for us. Though the crowd size hasn’t been announced yet I believe the club were looking to get 1000 in for this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtiekev Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Same team that started 2nd half, Perhaps Hamilton for Clark, Still short of attacking options so hopefully get a few in and then we are set, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Arbroath is normally an away game I'd never dream of missing. Sadly the uncertainty caused by the COVID restrictions and no (official) word of whether away fans can get in or not means I will be missing this one as I've made alternative plans.

1320Lichtie Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Gardyne missing for them then? Get McKenna right in about Broadfoot Id go Gaston Stewart Little Henderson Hamilton Gold Low Clark Mckenna Linn LD Pretty happy with that. Clark still has me 50/50 but deserves a chance here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 £19! Ooft. Season ticket holders are making a fantastic saving over the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hopefully Billy McKay is fit. Even if he's on the bench he's a great option to bring on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get McKenna right in about Broadfoot We're apparently considering appealing the red card shown to Gardyne. May as well save the cash TBH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtielegend Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Being the only part-timers this season, it's imperative that we don't get detached early in the season. Given that ICT haven't had a great group stage, and we've done relatively well against them the last 2 seasons, this is probably as good a game as any for us to open with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 From what I've seen of us in the group stage (watching Peterhead and Hearts games on TV) we have a bit of potential going forward but our back four is a work in progress, in the way that a pallet of bricks is a house that is in progress. We were Mark Ridgers away from getting a bit of a bumming at Tynecastle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we actually kept the ball down, which was most of the match, we carved Hearts open a few times. It was like a different team than the one that was shelling long balls to 46 year old Ross Draper for 90 minutes last week at Cove. Edit - That may have been down to Cove's horrible pitch to be fair. Close up it looked more black that green with the amount of rubber pellets on it. Edited July 27, 2021 by TheScarf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyJoe Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Looking forward to getting back to watching league games. After a good cup section we should be confident plus we've done generally well against ICT. Gaston Stewart little hendo hammy Gold low Clark Linn McKenna LD I'm going to go bold and say 3-1 home win. Scrappy AF game incoming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young yes, but amazing amount of energy with hard running in there. Also both look to have very decent distribution. Hope Carson is fit as Duffy definitely needs a bit more work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbamby Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The Red Lichties have a great record against us, especially at Gayfield. Last time I went down you thoroughly pumped us 3-1. That said, I’m expecting another tough one on Saturday. Doddsball is either going to be a masterpiece or a disaster but one thing is for sure, it will be one hell of a ride. I fancy us to nick a win on Saturday however I wouldn’t be surprised with any result to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Well the centre back speculation can stop for this weekend at least, TOB back & Henderson suspended.https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/2409358/arbroath-to-welcome-back-tam-obrien/?fbclid=IwAR3wQc2qMaF9UzT4lYszzWglCedZZw9g1hDVG0dkxeUxQGdJp0rx9cDkxT8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
