  1. That defence have conceded fewer than a goal a game since then and overall have conceded half the number of goals Arbroath have
  2. Someone mentioned a while ago that McStravick, Hancock and McMaster are signed up for next season but we’ll never know for sure until May. I suppose the benefit this season is that with another win or two we’ll likely be safe and know that barring a freak play-off run which should allow us to plan better, whereas the last couple of seasons players will have wanted to wait until they knew whether we were in League One or the Championship.
  3. I thought we really missed McCabe today for this season. With Rae out we couldn’t have the keeper as involved at the back and McMaster is a lot more conservative, so you’re left with Fordyce as the main playmaker back there which is never ideal. I’d like to see McCabe back in next week if he’s fit.
  4. Another very important win. If you’d offered any of us the chance of being 8 points ahead of 9th at this stage with a game in hand, never mind having that while sitting 4th, we’d all have jumped at it. Bit of a mixed performance today. Like the last few home games we gave away some daft goals but thankfully we were able to get around it. I thought both Megwa and Hancock were uncharacteristically poor for the first half hour but once we changed shape both came into the game. On the shape, I thought the 4-1-4-1 didn’t work at all. Todorov was quite isolated and the ball never stuck up top. Lyall, Frizzell, Telfer and McStravick were all fine but got in each others way quite a lot, with the wide players coming inside and taking up similar positions as Telfer and Frizzell. Once we switched back to the diamond we started to click with Lyall, Telfer and McStravick looking really good and as mentioned the full-backs getting forward again. Lyall in particular had his best game yet, a real shame he won’t be available next week.
  5. I’m pretty sure it was a bunch of wee guys there with the mascots who were related to Gavin Gallagher. Think they were even singing “no Gavin, no party” at one point before he came on.
  6. That win at Dunfermline looking even more important and even more impressive now.
  7. Dunfermline 0-2 Dundee United Airdrie 2-1 Arbroath Inverness 1-1 Ayr Partick Thistle 1-1 Morton Queen’s Park 2-2 Raith Rovers
  8. Darren Jamieson being summoned in to play one game in the play-offs despite being four goals ahead is a very underrated bit from last season’s antics. We probably could have played Hutton and still kept a clean sheet right enough, given it was literally just 90 minutes of long diagonals to Liam Henderson. I don’t like to go on about Falkirk as much as some Airdrie fans but still very funny that in a game that had to score at least four goals, they spent it punting long balls while Airdrie literally just stayed in position and then waited for Brad McKay to inevitably make a mistake at the other end.
  9. Biggest concern with those players missing is that we’d lose a lot of mobility all across the park. You could still put out a team of first team regulars but it feels a bit slow. Hutton/anyone else Watson - McCabe - Fordyce - Hancock McMaster Telfer - Frizzell - McStravick Gallagher - Todorov
  10. I heard McGregor was out for 4-6 weeks before the Dundee United game, so possibly still a month or so until he’s back. I keep forgetting about O’Connor but he might have to start alongside Todorov next week if McGill is out, as I really think both Gallagher and Todorov are too slow to play together in this team and I’d be reluctant to change shape from what has worked really well.
  11. Both very good points. I was talking about Johnson not being an option recently because of us already having so many Hibs players on loan but it completely slipped my mind there. Looks like the only Consilium keeper in Scotland that isn’t Josh Rae or already out on loan is Zander Clark, so we might have to think outside the box here.
  12. A terrifying thought. I guess Murray Johnson is the obvious choice for a rolling emergency loan if Hibs are willing to let him go but might be tricky since he's their third choice and they already have a keeper out on loan at Arbroath.
  13. That’s a decent point, especially given the circumstances of Hutton playing. Eight points from a run of three away games and a home game against an improving Queen’s Park team is a very decent return. I’ve been away so I’ve missed the last four games, as well as the win at Kirkcaldy last month, but managed to be at the three defeats in between. Might have to stop going now if this is what happens.
  14. Stenny have basically won their league already, time to get Darren Jamieson on the phone.
