timlichtie Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 The forecast is looking ok for the weekend so I’ll risk the long trek east. I fancy Dick will start this game with close to the line up that finished at Cove. No room for caution now. If we don’t start winning at Gayfield then there’s no chance of survival. Whether he favours Adarkwa ove Olusanya is probably his main quandary. He’s blaming Balde for the goal at Cove so does he start Hetherington? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtiekev Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Really pointless trying to guess how we will line up buy will have a go... apart from the back 4 and goalkeeper it could be absolutely anything, Think Mckenna is the only certainty to start but god knows where, Bitsondou didn't feature at all at Cove but you could almost guarantee he is back in team and Hetherington is dropped, El-Mhanni will probably start with Scott Stewart on wings and Linn will be back on bench, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you not been watching the last 2/3 seasons. Thats what he does, always has done. Unfortunately we don't have any threat at all now when we do occasionally get forward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful but you never know. Maybe he could play something similar to how he played when he threw the game against Dunfermline? 3 isolated strikers, no width, and a missing midfield? That would be a refreshing change of pace. Or how about when he played (IIRC) McKenna, Allan, Tait, and Fosu in seemingly the exact same attacking midfield position? Ooh, or playing with Bobby Linn "up front", thus making sure we had no creativity out wide and neutering McKenna, and then utilising him best by launching high balls forward? What a miserable season its been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Team I’d go with: gaston banks little tob hammy Balde hetherington stewart mckenna linn adarkwa Doubt that’ll be anywhere near the team thats starts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I'll go with any team which has an attacking formation, can score goals, dominate midfield and has a creative flair. Having a proven goal scorer has been an issue all season and the final games of the season will play out that way. Our long term players will be up for the fight - they won't be throwing the towel in and this gives us some hope. We need 6 wins from the final 11 games - I think our goals will come from midfield or defence. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Arbroath have done us over twice this season, and they thoroughly deserved both wins.. Potential smoke-flavoured, maroon-coloured banana skin right there.

JagsCG Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Kevin Holt, Cammy Smith and Anton Dowds all out for this one (and for at least the next couple of weeks). Holt the real big miss there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I’m thinking Dow and El-Mhanni on the wings with McKenna off Olusanya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Olusanya is not who I would have picked as my first choice, but it looks like a sensible line up... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoundO Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Poor first half from Arbroath. We’re playing like we don’t know each other - which of course is true. Edited February 25, 2023 by TheRoundO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledLichtie Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Its not been great, although at least we've had a shot on target. Olusanya seems to have very real balance problems though, several times now, he's thrown himself to the ground under no pressure, and has at least once jumped out of a tackle that hasnt come. He also seems to be drifting out wide a lot, which makes sense if he's naturally a winger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
