microdave Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The club Twitter asking about first scorers of calendar years got me thinking about goal droughts after new year. It took us 315 minutes of football before we scored our first of 2020. We got our first in 2018 after 282 minutes. You have to go back to 1928 to find a longer spell without a goal than 2020. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirscottyoung Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 If we could afford him it would be a no-brainer, but I doubt there’s any way we can (unless he gets desperate and just wants a club until the end of the season).C & G systems have been in touch with him and are trying to get a deal pushed over the line (exclusive) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGarci Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 the team has improve with quitongo, jones and forbes, but I think there are very few defenses, maybe one RB-CB is essential when there will be injuries or exclude players but I think is too late for finish 4th..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Since Layne got injured we have played 6, won 1, drawn 1 and lost 4. I think we miss him more than we realise.Jones had a good debut but he was beyond bad yesterday. Proper dreadful. That included him actually chucking it at one point and putting in a half hearted effort to get to the ball before the opposition player. Duffy's decision to start McCluskey over Crossan is ridiculous. I'm not a huge fan of Crossan but he's a far, far superior option to McCluskey. As for the notion that Wadrop will easily be as good, if not better than Tumilty... I think we can file that one under no contest. Not even a debate to be had. FWIW Hutton is supposedly out for 4 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW Hutton is supposedly out for 4 weeks. Whilst that was a grim watch yesterday, the weather probably gained us a point. And on the evidence of the last two games every point will become precious.If the news about Hutton is true then that is a real blow; whilst I've been highly critical in the past to say the least, his performances and presence this season have been excellent. With McKee breaking down pre-match for the second time (?), that midfield yesterday was scarily weak - we will not get away with it on any regular basis.It's Sod's Law with the injuries, and we really need to just scrap away and maintain the commitment, but it won't be pretty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo90 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Started to play a bit better when we put Jai wide left. Seemed keen to work back and help Rico.But what does Duffy do, Jai off, Crossan on up top and pushes Jones wide left. f**k me. He swapped them back near the end but it was far too late. McCluskey should have been the sub - horrible player, done nothing all season.Missed Hutton and McKee. Forbes was anonymous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedrick1 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I know there was some praise that we managed to boost squad in window. question was Wilson a mistake. Other than going straight in v Aberdeen he seems to have taken up the Zata role in the squad. surely he could have got a run out yesterday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW Hutton is supposedly out for 4 weeks. Imo Wardrop appears less quick than last time. That’s understandable because often players are never as fast as they once were after injuring their ACL. Tumilty definitely gave us a lot more athleticism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why everyone's not on here buzzing with excitement - if we win our next 4 games we're right back in the mix for the play-offs at the top! We're really good at stringing wins together too, can't understand the apathy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) How many points do we think we'll need to stay up? I'll say 40. (actually, probably fewer. Forfar would need to match Falkirk's win rate to hit that). Edited February 11, 2020 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many teams below us needing to better our points total and absolutely none of them are showing any consistency other than Stranraer consistently drawing matches. 40 will be more than enough IMO, so 4 more wins will do us (and we've got 3 of the teams below us at home left to play).

George Parr Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yeah, a couple more victories over the coming weeks and that will be our season done. Probably before the end of March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we don't want to fire cheap shots or wallow in negativity but I'm really struggling to work out where wins are coming from right now. Especially if we are forced to persevere with a midfield permed from Carswell/Langan/McLuskey/Forbes/Zata. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
