microdave Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hopefully we might get some goals. Three of the last four at Station Park have been 0-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Forfar appear to be our bogey team this season. Since MacKinnon was appointed they've also started to look like a half decent side again, with the right additions this month I wouldn't count them out of the race for fourth. Although you could chuck everyone bar probably Albion Rovers and Bonnyrigg into that category. Given how the other two games have gone between the sides, I'm not feeling great ahead of this. But I am absolutely buzzing for a steak pie already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Forfar are the only team we haven't beaten in the league this season. Hopefully we can overcome the bogey and enjoy the best pastry in Scottish fitba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I'm really looking forward to this game. After the Irvine debacle where he lost the players and the plot it's great to have Ray McKinnon in charge. His motivation and constant instructions from the sidelines is paying off. There's been some excellent team play and some individual brilliance of late and one day it's all going to click into place. Would be nice if it happens on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Reading today that McKinnon has a 4 wins over Farrells 1 on head to head. Think this will be a good game, actually a top of the league clash (if we didn't have a gimp in charge for so long) style. Confidence is up at Station Park, it will be tight, but I'm going for a home win 3-1, Dumbarton pushing for an equaliser and us to score on the breakaway... Enjoy the game lads, whoever you support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will need to be good to beat the Galabank offering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Ryan Blair suspended as well as Bucky for this. With Ross MacLean a doubt and Byrne and Gemmell still on the sidelines. Not wonderful news at all. Leaves us very thin on the ground player wise; I make that a squad of 15, including Vata and Harry Broun. So you're realistically looking at two subs. Brett Long Aron Lynas Ryan McGeever Stuart Carswell Martin McNiff David Wilson Kalvin Orsi Joe McKee Finlay Gray Gregg Wylde Ryan Wallace Is how I imagine we'll look. With a bench of Broun, Vata, Love and Lynch. On paper that's a strong enough team to get a result. But Bucky will be an absolutely huge loss. I also thought we really missed Ryan Blair against Albion Rovers; we lacked his ability to pick up scrappy second balls in midfield and get us back in possession. Our midfield was dominated all game. Love is really the only option we have on the bench if we're looking to change things a wee bit too. Although he is a good only option to have, to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Any chance of a loan signing today? Or a trialist being added to the bench? Ideally we need a couple of bodies in for depth. And is there any doubt about the game tomorrow? Will be a last minute decision on whether I can get to the game or not. If there's a serious doubt about the match then I won't rush to get everything done early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an artificial pitch so that lessens the chances of a postponement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it'll be on, although Livingston manage to get games postponed on theirs. Suppose the risk would be more damage than anything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi maybe don't have anywhere for excess water/snow to go since they're in the middle of a concrete retail park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you will be safe enough to travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m high on Ray McKinnon fever but nothing in that team scares me. 2-1 to the Loons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
