This is very much must not lose territory, for both clubs.

Wrong - it’s an absolute 100% must win for Arbroath. Inverness can afford to draw but we can’t.

A point would still only leave you 6 behind with a game in hand though, no idea who that is against but. Still leaves you in the battle whereas a lose probably wouldn’t.

Yeah but if we can’t pick up points against our relegation rivals, then who (and when) are we going to get points against. Our record since September is horrific. Only our run of 4 wins in a row then is keeping us even remotely in touch.

Fair point but it’s not exactly unheard of for teams at the bottom to pull off “shock” results against teams up the top of the table, especially towards the end of the season.

In fairness, we got repeatedly gubbed by our relegation rivals last year...

Absolutely agree but it’s not likely to pick up a series of “shock” results against teams up the top of the league is it? One or two yes but enough to survive?

Definitely need to win today after last night result. Hopefully Reilly straight in to team in replacement for Dow and LM9 moves wide in replacement for Stowe and bird up top rest of team to remain same from last week

Stating the obvious - statin ‘we really need a win’ - always seem redundant or at least, goes without saying.  How does Arbroath, with a recycled bunch of players (new and returning from injury) manage to get their act together enough to overcome well-organised opposition..  This seems a very strong league this year, and decent squads more than any recent season.  

Since Arbroath only train twice a week, it’s quite an ask to build both teamwork and even match fitness to try and recreate a competitive side in a short space of time. . That’s why the performance and result away to Dunfermline last weekend was encouraging..  For the ICT game, I’m hoping we can compete, that we can dig in and show the same character, and take it from there.  Let’s see if we can put in a performance..  If we can avoid defeat, that might be a step forward, tho games are running out.  Looking for omens, we’re due some better luck.
