And I am happy to bow to their superior knowledge. Just as I am on his signings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Can't agree that Caley didn't deserve to lose as with defenders such as those two they're lucky to come up against us on a quiet day and being helped by a card happy ref if you wore a diamond jersey in midfield, whilst giving carte blanche to Carson and the number 7 who repeatedly fouled McMaster. Great resilience in comparison to last season with ten and I'm ready to take the road and miles to Dundee. Smashing curry again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ77 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 The first player we’ve paid a fee for since… checks notes, Jonny page Here’s hoping he’s better than him! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD1711 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Another great result. I text one of my pals when we went down to 10 men to say here comes the collapse so it is great to see that lessons have been learned from last season and we have closed the game out. 35 points should be enough for us to be safe so to pick up 6 from the first 9 with some difficult fixtures in there is great. We just need to get lucky this season with suspensions and injuries as we have a good enough starting 11 to take on anyone but if we have a bad run where we have the likes of say Rae, Ballantyne and Frizzell out at any one time it will be difficult to replace. The fee banded about for Devenney is supposedly 100k and then we got top of the League Cup group which is 55k which will be more than we budgeted to finish, then there is the gate receipts against Ross County. It would be nice to see us go for 3/4 experienced players from these windfalls and have a go for the play offs as if we can get lucky on the suspensions/injuries I could genuinely see Airdrie being a dark horse make the play offs. I think McCabe deserves the backing of the fans on here as while we appreciate that the signings have been underwhelming as we are getting youngsters instead of Smith/Wotherspoon, he has earned the right to be backed with the results he has produced so far this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What signing is most likely to get airdrie fans frothing at the gusset? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mybitchunderprotest Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 5 hours ago, cb_diamond said: McMaster really looks like he will step up from what I've seen so far, he has clearly benefitted from a full season playing regularly in League 1 to bring his game on, I'm not sure the same can be said for McGregor Who I suspect (hope) will be more of an impact sub against tired defenders. Aiken has been better than O'Connor, but like McGregor does anyone want to see any of the three of them starting every week in the Championship? McMaster and Aiken were both outstanding today and not for the first time this season. I would have no qualms whatsoever about the 2 of them being our starting midfielders for the majority of the season although given their age they may need removed from time to time. Lewis McGregor had a very good game today and you have to remember that both he and O'Connor when played out on the wings will have a tendency to drift in and out of games. McGregor's run today was absolutely screaming for Cal Gall to come running in at the back post for a tap in but unfortunately he'd been replaced earlier. 44 minutes ago, Diamond8 said: Who do we reckon steps in next week? Telfer seems the obvious choice. Telfer out through injury today so depends on how bad that is and if he trains this week. Possibly McCabe depending on his level of fitness and if he gets JD approval to train. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s half as entertaining as Smyth was when he headbutted Joe Cardle then I’m all for it. The worst thing about this signing is that I recognised his name straight away from spending far too long looking at the list of Consilium players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
