Springfield Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Slightly of course but will there be PATG at Airdrie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Probably more worried about next Saturday than i am about games against the Fifers. They really worked us over at their place early in the season even if the scoreline was a bit flattering due to the semding off. Think this will be a real test of our new resolve and improvements. Airdrie are a very good team and we need to have a game plan a bit different i think. A game where we need Morrison and Kennedy to be at their best. Dont know why Airdrie went through a bad patch before Xmas? Injuries? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The last game we played Airdrie at the stadium we dominated and really should have been 2/3 nil up before a bit of sloppy play let them back in it. Alegria had the stone wall penalty turned down when Watson decided to run through the back of him when he was one on one with the keeper, that would have killed the game. Hopefully Henderson's injury wasn't too bad and we can keep the same starting line up as yesterday as Henderson will run right over the top of Telfer & Mccabe(if he's not suspended after his comments about the ref yesterday) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airdrie are a very good team and we need to have a game plan a bit different i think. A game where we need Morrison and Kennedy to be at their best. Dont know why Airdrie went through a bad patch before Xmas? Injuries? A mixture of a few different things. Having a rubbish keeper didn’t help but after the 6-0 Edinburgh debacle confidence was clearly low and with a young, ridiculously small squad (literally 12 fit outfielders for a while), it took a while to get going again. We’re an odd team, veering from sensational attacking football to calamitous mistakes, often in the same game, and that run saw plenty of the latter without much of the former. McGlynn was at our 4-3 defeat to Dunfermline so he’ll have seen how dangerous we can be going forward but also how pronounced our weaknesses can be. Next week will be a very tough game. Rae being out is a massive blow and whether it’s Hutton or another young keeper, I’d imagine Falkirk will feel more confident knowing Rae won’t be playing. We played a diamond against Dunfermline which worked well but could leave us exposed against Morrison and Kennedy. I’ve gone for a score draw but I’m certainly not expecting another 4-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Dont really know what to make of Airdrie. They battered us at their place, though we were still getting our shit together and will maybe play half a dozen starters from that day. Then they were poor at TFS, on any other day we would have won about 3-0 though they were missing some key players through injury/ suspension. They were cruising against the Pars last week which no other team has done all season before throwing the game away with the penalty/ red card. Inconsistency and squad size seems to be the issue why they arent closer to us. Saturday will certainly be our toughest fixture on paper between now and the end of the season outside of the derbies Edited February 20, 2023 by NavyBlueArmy1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 There’s no doubt on their game Airdrie are one of the best teams in the league, but subject to one or two puzzling results. Guess who hasn't in this league, apart from fife who seem to have a level of consistency that keeps them top for the majority of the season so far. We’ve hit a really good run of form, and although there’s still the fourth quarter to play, three points on Saturday could be pivotal for both teams. A draw doesn’t suit anyone, so expecting a cracking game. As said it’s games like this we’ve struggled with so if we’ve aspirations of topping the league let it begin on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
