Elgin Macca Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 2-0 defeat, no shots on target, Draper to say after the game we are closing in on a signing, signing to be announced as some 17 year old on loan from Aberdeen/Caley. Something along those lines...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishLoon Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) This game feels like the "we're desperate for another striker" derby right now. Edited August 9, 2023 by ScottishLoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any update on Skelly, was it just a knock or will he miss out? Otherwise Watson or Paterson will start up top I presume, if so guess we'll be hoping for Inglis to be our main scoring threat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it was just a knock or just a precaution but hope to find out in the preview. If he isn't fit then hopefully it'd be Paterson, although a goals not fallen for him yet he's been very close a couple times and has got goals in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgin's problems seem to be much deeper than just being desperate for another striker so even if Skelly isn't fit I'd still expect Forfar to be too strong for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityloon Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Can only see another defeat for us the team still needs to gel together but still lacking guys aswell and getting young guys doesn’t really help that much I’d take a draw that’s the best we’ll get I think but highly doubt it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree even without skelly I think we could end up winning something like 3-0. Edited August 9, 2023 by ScottishLoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how enthusiastic Elgin fans are, and our quality of squad overall. We should be getting 3 points and perhaps Saturday is the perfect time for Paterson to start up top (if Skelly is absent). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSilverFox Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I have three wishes for Saturday 1 - three points and no bum squeaking moments in the dying minutes 2 - current Loons’ optimism over this game doesn’t come back and bite us on the 4r5e 3 - no nasty tackles from screaming opposition players resulting in wrongful red cards for our players (that game last season still haunts me) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwh Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Even if Skelly isn’t fit I’d expect us to win this pretty comfortably if we’re real promotion contenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Armour sent off for nothing, McCallum being on his line whilst saving a pen and it getting retaken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Brindleys red card for a clean tackle. Can't remember the refs name but was mental how much he affected that game.

He did our league cup game against Arbroath this season, and some of his decision making in that was a bit shoddy as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
