lichtie23 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Big game to start the new managers reign at Gayfield. Been told he likes to play 4-4-2 so will be interesting to see if we line up like that on Saturday. Hopefully have a few boys back as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Not even sure what team I would play on Saturday if there are still injuries - guessing McKenna is still out - the only thing I could imagine being relatively decent given the circumstances is Gaston Steele Little ToB Hamilton Stewart Slater Lyon Gold Hylton Bird Not sure if Gold is even fit I still think McIntyre will have the same issues DC has had but I am looking forward to January and hoping that we can take some kind of positivity from the appointment being made 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledLichtie Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 This is the best game a new manager could have. Through all the turmoil of the last 18 months, Morton have been our one constant, our north star, our comfortable 3 points. It'll be interesting to see they can do something against a new manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I think many fans in this division will have an eye on this game to see Arbroaths performance under their new manager. I’ve always been a fan of Jimmy Mac, and was hoping to see him back at EEP before McPake came in and steadied the ship. A resurgent Lichties will have many clubs looking over their shoulders, including the misfiring Pars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still the same players who are low on confidence and the same injuries. We had a real possibility of going into the Ayr game last week with only 15 fit players. Hopefully the week off has given players such as David Gold a chance to recover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlichtie Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Jim McIntyre really has a pretty weak hand to play with the squad he has inherited. Get the ball to the feet of Bird and Hylton and we’ll have a chance against Morton. Looks like it might be windy, so a classic Gayfield battle with the elements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno guys, I think he has capacity to get the very best out your players. Saying that I’m a fan of Jim, he got what IMO was a mediocre Pars team promotion to the premier league. PMA, guys. He’ll save you from the drop, but hopefully not at our expense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I think a new voice will help at Arbroath. McIntyre isn’t likely to work any miracles but I fully believe he’s more than capable of avoiding relegation. Morton haven’t won a league game against a club not called Ayr United since May so he couldn’t ask for a simpler game to start his reign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SotesBornalichtie Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 After all the recent upheaval and injuries at the club I'd be happy enough if we didn't lose tomorrow. Morton are bound to be up for it, maybe got a wee lift with Strapp re-signing, but our players need to be out to impress the new manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
