[++Ammo - Airdrie++]

hopefully we're treated to a decent game of foosball on Tuesday after our last 2 displays (Stenny + Morton). 2 defeats in a row for both clubs, both looking to put some right. Airdrie will have had a bit of rest with the Forfar game being off, Dumbarton going for the 4th game in 2 weeks (I think.)
Hopefully Dosser will be fit and inject a bit of much needed fight and experience in the middle of the park. I'm not a fan of Stevenson on the right but if it means McCord gets to flourish in the middle beside Dosser who'll be doing the dirty work then so be it.

FWIW i'd go with:

Ridgers
Bain . Forrest . Grant . Goodall
Stevenson . McCord . Dosser . Mackay-Steven
Sally . (A.N Other)??

Sally deserves his crack up front, he's a cracking talent, only 17 but similar to Tony Watt in the way he goes about his business and took his goal well against Morton. Really not impressed with Ferguson, sure he can hold the ball up well but he has no pace, can't dribble or make a decent pass.

2 VERY young teams, hopefully we see some excellent football.

Can't see Devlin being dropped to be honest. Maybe Dosser up front? I know he hasn't played as a striker for a long time, but he scored a lot of goals in this league for us when he did.

[Diamond93]

I thought Stallard was back ?! He would go straight back in at centre half I would imagine. Anyway I think this is a huge game for us and we need to win I think or we will get caught up in the relegation scrap!

From what ive seen of Dumbarton il go for a 2-0 win for us

The banter, its hilarious and so original.

Hopefully I'll make it along on Tuesday to the game

I'll go for 2-0 Airdrie.

[ShakehandsTom - DFC]

Whilst I don't think Airdrie are a particularly decent team, I feel their experience (the little of it they have) will be more than we have and with us in real danger of being detatched big-style, this, (as if the games against Stenny and Forfar weren't) is huge for us.

I'd like us to have the option of bringing back a few 'experienced heads' for this game, but
we don't have any, and with our away form being worse than woeful, I don't hold out much hope.

That said, Pat Walker is always lively and if we can get him some supply and help when he's got the ball, we can get a goal or two. That said, we haven't looked like doing that recently, and have one away goal to our name all season. And that was a penalty at Forfar on the opening day of the season. I'd like to be able to say that I'd take a point (to help us try and obtain some momentum), but given the position we're in, we don't have that luxury.

With Del and Pat up-front and playing the ball to feet, we'd have a chance, but will we do that?

Nope tom well play along ball

I know its not pretty but you may have some success this time with a "long ball"
Morton done that all game against us at capielow and our defence was all over the place, we actually had to bring on Lovering at centre half to deal with it as his aerial ability is still shit hot (even though he can't run).

I can't see Jimmy dropping him either but with the players we have, that midfield i posted IS the best we have, in they positions, unless he playes Devlin in the middle with Dosser and Moves McCord in behind the front man in a 4-4-1-1.

No Gemmill?
If he is fit, can´t see why he should not be in the starting eleven - decent player imo.

Its too hard to second guess what line up Jimmy Boyle is going to play. Nobody is mentioning them but Craig Hill or Adam Fairweather have got to be in with a shout of making their debuts.

The only thing more tedious than that banter is the token Airdrie fan who comes on after it and says "you're so funny lolz".

Hoping we can get something from this game. Airdrie are by no means the best team in the league but it will still be a difficult game. I'd hope Adamson changes things round a bit with our last two games ending in defeat. Hopefully it's a good game

ouch... I know he was doubtfull against Forfar, but did not know his injury was this bad... Anyway, still decent chances to win against the worst team in the division

I've said it before, but I'll say it again in case you missed it. He is dyslexic and struggles with this sort of thing. Now, with that in mind I'm pretty sure the last thing he wants is someone taking the piss out of him for it. Not only that, but you can read the sentence and understand what he is trying to say anyway.

[Clarko_son]

after us leading 1-0 at half time last Tuesday to Forfar i stupidly agreed to go on the bus to this one... might not be that bad actually, alternatively it could be a disaster
