bluetoonscotty Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Interested to see how this one goes. They were always very close encounters last season (with one very big exception) so expecting the same again. We tended to get the better of Spartans away, with them having our number at Balmoor so hopefully we can continue to do well in the capital. I’m sure the players will be itching to put that playoff disaster right at the earliest chance but it will be tough as Spartans have started very strongly, fantastic result last week for them. A starting 11 is starting to take shape with new guys like Cammy Smith bedding in nicely. Obviously still a few key players out with injuries (Shanks, Goldie) but feel we have the depth this season to cope with that. Looking forward to this against fellow title hopefuls and our toughest test so far. Mon ih toon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leewood Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Massive game this for League 2 with a couple of the top sides facing off here! Both teams have started the season very strongly and it's hard to pick a winner 1-0 or 0-1 for me, maybe the Spartans will have had a massive confidence boost for beating Ross County last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the game but f**k me do Spartans shout and greet every time they jump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparticus Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Yes Peterhead had a couple of chances but there wasn’t much between the teams. Whittaker looks like he could stand out in this league even in the short time he got on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Thought if anyone was going to win it, it was us, Our keeper did not have a save to make whereas we had one that run along the line & another that came off the inside of the post. The Edinburgh ref kept his record going of not being in charge of a Spartans loss i seven games ,wonder if he joins them for training at Ainslie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetoonscotty Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 First half was a bit of a non-event. we were keeping the ball well without doing much with it. A few half chances for both sides but not much between us. The threat of Blair Henderson was ever present and you just always fear that he can pop up with a goal at any minute. We stepped it up second half and started doing more in the final third and getting into some good areas. Just couldn’t get enough shots away. Thought we were going to get some more 90+ minute magic, as the game went on we were looking more and more likely to score but wasn’t to be today. Would agree that we edged the second half and could argue that we deserved all 3 points but was a very tight game and the streetwise Spartans team defended very well. Just heard that McCarthy has suffered 3 broken ribs and a punctured lung, didn’t realise it was that bad at the time. Will be a big miss and wish him well in his recovery, hopefully have him back soon. Good job we signed all those midfielders! Would have taken a point before the game so fairly content with that. Still unbeaten and top of the league, so hopefully we can keep this momentum going! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it has to be mentioned that his tackle was needless and the Spartans player can't be blamed in the slightest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Cabeza Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) 2 hours ago, strichener said: Hope he recovers fully.

Injuries beginning to mount up already and we've only played four league games. Looks like Andy will be out for a couple of months and just as well we have a strong bench this season.We've already had Caleb Goldie, fractured ankle bone, Kieran Shanks fractured collar bone and Rory and Ben both carrying hamstring problems. Caleb looks like he might be making a quick recovery as he's discarded the boot he was wearing last week and playing keepy up with a kid at half time. Shanks has started running again so he might be a bit quicker than was first thought. On a positive note, Conner Duthie has been getting some minutes under his belt out on loan at Albion Rovers after missing the whole of last season with an acl injury.
