Arbroath v Raith Rovers


Recommended Posts

First of all, looking at the forecast, there is absolutely no chance whatsoever of this being called off.

 

Wee bit apprehensive about this, up against one of the top 2 in the league after 3 weeks off with no games and the last game being a comprehensive away win for Stranraer at Gayfield, although we’re much better than we showed that day.

 

Scott Martin and Danny Denholm should be back fit which is massive for us. As for the team we cannot play both Swankie and McCord here, we just can’t, not got the luxury of that in a game like this. Swankie would drop out for me as I’ve heard he’s still not properly fit from his knee injury.

 

Hutton

 

Little

ToB

Hamilton

 

Denholm

Martin

Whatley

Yule

Linn

 

McCord

Mcintosh

 

I’d go for, Whatley needs to sit and I’d play Yule on the left of the 3 and tell him similar to help cover for Bobby.

 

Got hospitality for this so looking forward to the day out, not confident about the game but that could change come kick off... [emoji1]

Was a pretty comfortable win last time, but our away form is a real concern. 


We really struggled that day, for a team that’s scored 34 goals in 15 games we only had one real time we looked like scoring and it was from a ball into the box.

Only game along with the 0-0 Home game with Ross County we’ve not scored in I’m sure in both league and cup.

I'll likely be going to this, as I've never been to Arbroath before, and a game at this time of year right next to the North Sea seems the best place to start. 

Arbroath will likely keep the ball on the deck and pass it about, looking tidy. We'll watch Graeme Smith try to hoof it long to Liam Buchanan while our fans question how long until Lennox is back.

Arbroath is a great day out,Tutties Neuk pub across the road from ground.The ground itself,the best terraced ground,pies are good or used to be
Sadly the football might be the let down


If Tennents is your drink of choice I wouldn't be going to tutties, honking.

3-0 Arbroath

Raith fans to say that nothing is won in December.

Itzdrk to lead the early title party in Ayr.

The one thing that makes me think we are in with a shout is the fact the title party started last Sunday for some Ayr fans.

  I just think 3 at back leaves us to open with Linn and Denholm on the wings, 

                  Hutton

Yule  Little Tob Hammy

           Whatley Martin 

Linn         McCord   Denholm

                  McIntosh

Hard to leave Gold out, perhaps he warrants a start over Hammy or Yule

I’d rather have Yule in CM for Whatley and Gold at RB.
