pub car king Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Yeah 4 actual defenders for this as well will need Brown back in midfield. Don't know what the deal is with O'Reilly if he'll stay on after January? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems his contract is through 31/12/2023. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive ask for us to even get a point out of this game. Probably, this isn’t the worst game for Bird to miss, our season isn’t going to be defined by results against Raith or United 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embow Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Enduring a really rough day weatherwise here so decided to have a look ahead to the weekend for the game. Weather forecast for this isn't looking too good at all. As it stands, it's giving heavy rain and windy with some strong gusts just to put an edge on things. Nothing probably Arbroath aren't used to, but, overall, not conducive to silky soccer. This may change nearer Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing probably Arbroath aren't used to, but, overall, not conducive to silky soccer. This may change nearer Saturday. I've been watching the weather due to my visit...the forecast last weekend (at kickoff) started 2C with a 40 mph west wind and light rain...changed to 4C, 15 mph southwest wind and partial cloudy...then 6C, 7 mph north wind and sunny...and back to 4C, 30 mph northeast wind and a moderate rain. It's now 4C, 20 mph east southeast wind and moderate rain. I fully expect either a hurricane or blizzard at this rate...just as long as the wrong sorts of leaves aren't obstructing the tracks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by last week, Hylton will probably agree... I think Bird has a much better eye for goal, no doubt there, but as a "big man up front", while he's improving all the time, I actually think Turan has showed he can play that role. Obviously, I'd pick Bird in front of Turan, just saying that having Turan up front with McIntosh and Hylton supporting is potentially not the worst thing in the world! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe feels that way as all Turan seems to do is take a touch with his back facing the opposition goal and then lay it off, only time he’s any use is if the ball is played into his feet. Any ball into space defenders beat him to it every day and he’s not got the strength to hold players off either. I’d go McIntosh uptop as he’s more similar to Bird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona gets more rainfall than Arbroath ! That was a reference to the strong wind which is still in the forecast today. I'm well aware of the rain shadow effect on the east (and, indeed , west) coast of the country. Never once mentioned a cancellation in the original post. Too many people read what they want to read rather than the actual content. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specky Ginger Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 The railway line between Cupar and Dundee is still shut. Hopefully all fixed before Saturday. Not sure if travelling via Perth and then onto Kirkcaldy is a viable option for Lichties fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
