With Stenny and the Blue Toon now free to focus fully on the league we need to forget the Scottish Cup for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Tough venue for us at times. A draw wouldn't be a bad result. 2-2 thriller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw wouldn't be bad if we'd beaten them at home but when you're playing catch up it's the head to heads that can swing momentum. I sadly think we'll fall short in a big game as we have done so often under Farrell but I sincerely hope to be proven wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I feel that way too, the positive is that we are in really good form just now, so fingers crossed we get something from Saturday's game to keep the momentum going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Yeah, got the fear a bit here. It's only natural that when things are going well, they will very suddenly come to a hault. Most of us have been here long enough to know the script with being a sons fan... I hope we can keep up the good form, but my concern is that we aren't settled enough at the back and up against the experience Peterhead have we may struggle to outscore them on the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Seems to be a bizarre amount of negativity here! Five win in a row means we should go into this full of confidence and while Peterhead away will be a tough game, I don’t see why we can’t take a point at least. Above we have comments saying we don’t turn up for the big games. Well so far this season we’ve won 1, lost 1 against the top 2. Plus the game against Peterhead was really even and we definitely should have been a couple of goal up if it wasn’t for bad finishing (something which has improved of late). Also remember Greg Young’s injury happened that day. It also is quite negative to say we don’t look defensively solid enough. Yes we were involved in a chaotic cup game at the weekend, but how many goals have we conceded in the last 3 league games? 0. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've shat the bed consistently under Farrell and I'm amazed this is even being debated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I'd say us scoring four in one half against Stenny is a freak occurrence. Not beating them by two goals. We've shown that there are goals in this team. As Cameron says we should've been ahead against Peterhead in the first-half. Didn't take our chances and ended up losing. The biggest thing I've taken so far about this team (and this league in general tbh) is that the first goal is absolutely crucial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider this Saturday's fixture to be the toughest we've faced since the last time we played Peterhead, and I include Annan in that. I think there's also a nervousness that in McAllister, they have one of the most experienced and physical stickers in the lower leagues, which the current central defence will need to deal with. As for stats, they are fine but rarely tell the full story. The reality is that we are playing well and we're entitled to be reasonably confident but if say Gray and/or Ruth were to become missing that would be significant. If everyone turns up this weekend though we can certainly get a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) Disappointed by the lack of Blue Toon fans on this top of the table clash thread. Are we seriously only going to have Neilly to pit our wits against in the title race? Edited November 29, 2023 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Easterly as it gets! Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Be a tight game( if there is a game?). 2-1 . Or, 1-2. Or 1-1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Looking at the frozen temperatures forecast I'd say we have a good chance of a call off. The stand side touchline will be rock hard and it wont see sunshine from now until kick off. Hopefully the club are sensible and arrange an inspection at the earliest possible time in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
