No need for it. There was one absolute cretin a few rows behind me who gave Hancock pelters for the majority of the first half. I was surprised as it seemed to spread through a bit more of the support as the half wore on, culminating in the sarcastic cheering you mention. Bang out of order. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Thornhill Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Embarrassing the abuse Hancock took in the first half from certain members of our support. Putting the game into context, totally out of order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems a bit shite considering we were trying a new formation and giving a lot of players minutes. Didn’t quite play out like our games normally do but he was good against Dundee Utd once he settled into the match and I think that’s a better benchmark - and that’s with zero disrespect to Stirling Uni. I said to a few people beforehand that they would be no walkover and they weren’t. People maybe thought we’d steamroller them and took that out on certain players when it didn’t happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was all around me 1st half. From what I could hear it wasn’t so much directed at him personally, but the fact he wouldn’t pass wide to McMagic and kept going inside. Sometimes he was better going back inside but others, wife was the way to go. But once you notice it, it’s hard to distinguish when it’s right and when it’s wrong I guess. FWIW, I thought he was a lot better 1St half than 2nd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_H Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Looking at previous seasons in this division you need about 40 points to stay up in 8th place (maybe even a few more in a more tightly contested division), so that's 10 points every 9 games. 6 from 4 games isn't bad, but surely we have to be looking at Saturday as a key fixture for picking up some of those points.

It's normally a pretty tight league sometimes from 8th to 4 th can be just a handful of points, we go into Saturday at Arbroath (21 quid to stand behind the goal) it's not a must win, but it is a game where a draw would suit as Arbroath are expected to be " down there" as well..... looking at squad numbers, I cannot see us signing anybody else, although it is questionable about the quality of some of our bench warmers... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - it’s the points against the teams you’d likely expect to be in the bottom half that will decide staying in this league. As many at home as you can and would be happy with a point up at arbroath. Best to take it just one game at a time as it’s going to be an up down season ahead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Whilst it won’t make it break our season, we need to be targeting maximum points against teams like Arbroath who are forecast to be down the bottom with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Given our several heavy defeats in the last few years at Arbroath I'm still looking forward to a good match and if we have our best starters available I'm predicting a score draw. What our best starting side is, at least we have some choices but I'm skipping that and will leave it to Rhys.

Diamond72 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Arbroath will be boyant after such a convincing win over ICT. I'm sure they won't expect such an easy game though as they got on Saturday. ICT were truly awful and got exactly what they deserved. I was delighted to see the pitch in great condition however and it should benefit our style of play if we keep the ball on the ground. This for me, like others have said, is a crucial match. Despite their recent form Arbroath will be fighting it out at the bottom in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, it's fine to be optimistic as we've had a promising start but the real test will come when we hit a sticky spell and how we react. ICT are on theirs at the moment and are away at Raith on Saturday, but they seem in turmoil, no money, talk of part time football and calling for the Manager's head who was rewarded with a new 2 year contract after steering them to a Scottish Cup final a few months ago. Oh how quickly things change in football! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 1 out of 8 games against Cove and Hamilton last season Won 1, drew 2 and lost 1 against the league champions No point getting into it - very rarely works out as simple as that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
