stan3600 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Ricky Little was already my MoM, but that header off the goal line was classic Ricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farflung lichtie Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 fantastic goal-line clearance from Ricky Little in the final minutes. Arbroath seemed second best for much of this but we battled away. didn't create much and didnt make the most of the few opportunities that came our way. Queens looked solid at the back and created more openings and will be disappointed with only a point. Glad to avoid being at the wrong end of a 'new manager bounce' and when we were without a few key players. i thought the commentary on the stream decent and very fair. The pitch looked a bit too lively 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 That was a tough watch but it’s another point on the board and we are still top of the league. Goldy was superb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan3600 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I thought Donnelly was hopeless up front but much better when he dropped back into midfield. I don’t understand why we signed two new strikers, gave one 10 minutes and kept the other on the bench when we were struggling up front. Any theories? I was shouting at the telly when we brought Hilson on but to be fair he did ok apart from a horrendous fresh air shot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Never watched today but it feels like we're running out of steam a little. Two very poor league performances back to back against teams towards the bottom of the league - lucky to have come away with two draws. Two very tough games coming up, season defining I think. Not complaining, still absolutely delighted with how the season's going and a playoff place would be incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Glad to avoid being at the wrong end of a 'new manager bounce' and when we were without a few key players. I'd argue you were at the receiving end of the new manager bounce. If AJ was there there's no danger we get a point today - so it's one point for Arbroath rather than a comfortable 3 thanks to WG. To be gutted we only got a point at home to the best side in the division is an incredible (though frustrating) feeling tonight. In many ways it feels like a victory. I think even the most tinted specs Arbroath fan would admit they snatched a point today. How we failed to score is unreal - though in their defence, we haven't had much opportunity under AJ for our strikers to sharpen their skills. Absolutely no failures today. Special mention to O'Connor; the boy never lost a header all game. Fitzpatrick looked like the player we need. Got the ball and went forward. Gibson with a bit of a masterstroke relieving him of big defensive duties. McGrory was bossing it in the middle but looked knackered at the end and wee Kieran has instantly earned himself a starting spot. Gibson rightly MotM for me. I still think our BoD have gave Gibson an impossible task to turn things around but it's so good to see a bit of fight from us and if we continue in that vain for the rest of the season it'll make me at least optimistic for next season regardless of the division we're in. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Better than we've been. On the strength of the second half, we deserved to win it and were unlucky with the one Gaston touched onto the bar, and obviously with the one headed off the line at the end. However, draws are not going to be much use to us really. We were let down on a few occasions by failing to turn great openings into great chances by getting the key pass wrong. Ultimately, I think that lack of class will be what keeps us bottom, even if we're rejuvenated a bit. It at least feels less hopeless than it did though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Could be a decent point at the end of the season and another clean sheet. Was always going to be a battle with so many players missing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron played as well as I’ve seen him but think he needs a finisher alongside him. Not sure we have that in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QOSQOS Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 OK, that’s us tightened up at the back, now for some shooting practice…. Fitzpatrick in the first half and Roy in the last minute both had clear sight of goal and both decided to try to beat another man. And McKechnie put it in about the only place the defender could have cleared. Plus Gordon’s shot off the bar - a Gaston save? If this was the first game of the season I’d be feeling confident. However, the way it is we need actual wins. Only 11 games left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great from us us but it was always going to be difficult with the players we had out and the new manager bounce for QOS. Take a point TBH. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 As poor as we have been all season, players out were missed, nothing stuck up front, Craigen was poor, but how he was subbed before Donnelly was bewildering, a point was probably more than we deserved, but could be vital at the finish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellichtie Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Happy to take a point from that, thought we were pretty poor all over aside from Ricky and Gaston. Queens defended well and probably should have won it at the end. Could be a vital point but we need to be winning our game in hand v Partick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Aye on a sidenote Derek Gaston is comfortably the biggest dick in the division. I don't think there's a player in the division who is so consistently good against us. Another incredible save today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALOREBURNE Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Our best chances fell to Fitzpatrick and McKechnie. 2 players well short of match fitness. Plenty positives to take though and in todays showing if we keep that up we’ll worry teams around us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipmat Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Big difference today was that the team went out and applied pressure on the opposition rather than sitting back soaking it up for much of the game. There was a definite new manager bounce, the players seemed to be playing with more energy and confidence and looked like they were playing for the manager. Weak finishing let us down but at least we created chances and made the opposition defence work for a change. There is a glimmer of hope. By the way, Arbroath fans, I saw Bakare play a couple of times down south for Southport a few years ago and he was dung. I hope for your sakes he has only been signed as a benchfiller to be used as a last resort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
