tonicg Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Interesting to see Arbroath choosing to play their number 2 goalkeeper for the cup. Also got 50 year old Rab Douglas on the Bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Fair score line thst. We never looked like scoring. McKenna superb for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Didn’t think there was much in the game but we didn’t create anything. McKenna best player on the park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Utterly toothless. Thought that was McKenna’s best performance for a while and also thought Hammy and Adwarka played well. Second best in midfield all game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellichtie Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Bit frustrating I thought, nothing in that game and it was there for the taking. We need to stop playing these long hopeful punts up to the strikers, waste so many good attacks and the ball just comes straight back every time. Fair play to the Well fans also, thought they made for a class atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The difference between the teams was that Arbroath struggled to create openings around the 18 yard box. Good performances from TOB, Dow, Gold, Balde and McKenna was MOTM. We need to be creating a lot more opportunities up front - I expect 2 more incoming signings to address this matter in the next 10 days. A good, fighting performance, but we lacked creativity up front - we need to be creating a lot more openings near the 18 yard box if we want to win games. As for Motherwell, their new striker scored both goals and missed a few good opportunities. Good luck in the next round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, losing Ricky Little so early meant that Gold came on as sub much sooner than expected- not Gold's best game, I agree, but I thought he put in a decent shift. But the lack of creativity near the 18 yard box was an issue - only 1 shot on target (which was an easy save for their keeper). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 From a Motherwell perspective it was a pretty low key performance but just not giving away a shite, avoidable goal for the first time in a couple of months was good (Blaney was absolutely fine on his debut). Having a new striker score a couple on his first start is ideal too. Arbroath were perfectly decent but I never felt there was any real threat in our box. Other than that, great trip - noisy atmosphere in the Westport bar - and Gayfield is a brilliant ground of the type we never get to visit. Hope Arbroath have a better second half of the season. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thought Blaney showed up well on a debut. Bailed Lamie out on occasion. The midfield 3 of Goss, Slattery and Spittal was so, so poor though. Goss has been off the boil for months now, as has Slattery. And Spittal wants a calendar month to do anything. Finally, Gayfield is class. Not as cold as feared and had a cracking day oot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtiemike Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Balde is a player like. Fair enough today, our season won’t be made or broken because of a cup tie against Motherwell but it’s nice to be back to believing again, there’s been a decent improvement with the new players coming in. I can’t help but think we will soon be running out of games though, big few weeks ahead playing both Cove and Hamilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Apart from the football which was bang average. The whole trip to Arbroath was a joy. What stood out for me was how cheap everything was. 10 of us had lunch at Andreous bistro. Sure the service was slow. But the food was excellent. Genuinely great food. And the bill was around £20 a head. In Edinburgh that would have been twice as much and then some. Hope Arbroath can stay in championship at the placcies expense. That would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Haven't seen the highlights yet and in reality it doesn't really matter, but was it a penalty on Spittal? Looked a cast iron one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
