Tattie36 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Massive game on Tuesday. We've been stealing points recently - haven't deserved anything from the last 3 league games but have somehow managed to scrape 3 draws, mostly due to our superb defence. Yes you can argue that it's a sign of champions to get wins or draws when not playing well but this is becoming a habit, which is unsustainable. I fear we're due a pumping (Hamilton should have given us one) if we carry on playing like this so a huge improvement required. Too many players not performing so I would maybe shake things up a bit and please, please, please keep the ball on the grass. We were at our best earlier in the season keeping it down and running at the opposition not aimlessly lumping it up the park. Prediction (hope) - Arbroath regain their attacking flair for a home win. ETA - Partick seem as unable to win as us at the moment so probably 0-0. Edited February 26, 2022 by Tattie36 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandmagar Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 A comfortable 3 points for Arbroath in regards to our present form and impotence up front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R&Y99 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Going to be a real tough one. We have a honking record against Arbroath. Neither side in good form though so anything could happen. Got a feeling it’ll be a real tight one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but our record (not just in results but performances) against Arbroath is shocking. Dick Campbell will have his game-plan well worked out for this one again, I fear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlichtie Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 A lot of knocks to our back 4 on Saturday and JT subbed off. Hopefully no serious injuries but with only 2 days to recover our thin squad may struggle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Desperately need Tiffoney back for this. Only one win since the new year, really need to change that. A win here and we’re thinking about an actual title challenge again. Don’t see it happening though. 1-1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I'll repeat from the original thread that matching up 442 against Arbroath is not the way forward, hopefully we don't do that again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squad is decent size on paper but I think on Saturday it showed that DC not confident in some of them. Swankie/Hilson/Bakare and Ford don’t fill me with too much confidence in terms of coming on and making a big impact and Nicky Low has his injury troubles. Effectively 5 players that. On Saturday in the first half I thought we played well. Second half a total battle again and nobody putting their foot on the ball both teams. Im not confident but we will see. I just pray for a fit Nicky every week now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really need to up our game after 2 poor performances, get a win and open a wee gap at the top the table. We have tended to play our best games against teams nearer the top than bottom of the league so hopefully that will continue tonight. But again, a draw wouldn't be a bad result for either side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Luke Donnelly. He has a good touch and is a clever player but I think our forward players have had slim pickings the last few weeks and not much to work with. Even Wighton getting a hard time and he did lose the ball a few times Saturday but he was trying to make things happen and his clever lay offs and touches got us in good attacking positions. Final balls and deliveries recently been lacking big time and we’ve not created anything for Jack Hamilton really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Feels like all I’ve read the last few weeks are “Draw isn’t a bad result, Good point” etc etc. We’re now 3 league games without a win, and coming onto the home straight of the season. Time to start winning games again, especially at home to teams we’ve already beaten twice this season! Win here and we are 3 points clear with 9 to play, plus having a decent goal difference advantage over Killie as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a good touch and is a clever player But is he likely to fill you with confidence in terms of making an impact? I remember him scoring a flukey goal against Dunfermline at Gayfield a couple of years ago, much like Jack Hamilton's against Killie a couple of weeks ago. Other than that I can only remember one game, can't remember who it was against, when I thought he had a good game. But it was in a game that we dominated, probably in League 1. When we are having to fight for every ball he wouldn't be my first choice to start or even come on as a sub. Sometimes think the manager would be doing the lad a favour by letting him go, or loaning him out, to a League 1 or 2 club where he would be playing regularly and improve his game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
