Airdrieonians v Raith


Recommended Posts

Like most games in this league, it's difficult to predict how this will go.

As has been alluded to already, despite our league positron we've really only played well in short spells so far. The hope is that when we click we'll be an even tougher proposition, but there's always that nagging fear that we'll go the other way and start dropping points.

It’s slightly more of a walk to the away end but I find the new Lidl car park is the best place these days. Generally plenty of spaces, no time limits, short walk to the ground and usually out pretty quickly.

Good call mate. We've decided to park there. No parking restriction signs and suspect will be quicker to get out of at full time.

Another +1 for the Lidl shout, a better option than anywhere else I've parked here before. 

I think it's the right eleven from Murray after we toiled a fair bit last week. Mullin provides a different dynamic from the rest of our attack, and Easton looked bright off the bench. Gives Smith a real point to prove when he inevitably comes on later, he'll feel hard done by.

Agreed. Games been a million miles an hour.

The amount of movement and interchange from Airdrie's front three, and to a lesser extent the three behind them, is understandably causing us bother. A couple of times we've turned the ball over but Easton and/or Mullin have been twenty yards back because they've been tracking runners. 

There's change to be had out of this Airdrie defence, but we've not been able to put them under any sustained pressure. 

We're doing better than we were fifteen minutes ago, but a freak goal still seems more likely than one from deliberate, concerted attacking effort.

Pretty even half, would have been a great goal from stanton if it wasn't for the post getting in the way. Airdries movement causing us problems at times and it's a little worrying Masson and millen are both on a booking now. Think dabrowski has done very well getting off his line to deal with everything so far.

Airdrie are desperate for us to commit forward to try and break, but we're pretty steadfastly only committing Hamilton and Easton to the press. I'm not quite sure why we've swapped Stanton and Easton, but it's six and half a dozen really. 

Some fans getting a bit restless with the lack of a full press, but it's working. Airdrie really struggling to get any traction.
