Life on Marrs? Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Would love to see Aiden Keena come in on loan. First caught my eye when he scored against us for Queens Park. New boss at Hearts seems to be recalling all loan players rather than sending any out through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 On 31/12/2019 at 00:23, 1320Lichtie said: Our average crowd is 1600 so far. Some Full time teams get less. Even in our games against the smaller FT teams we are getting in 1200 or so, we've had about 1000 actual Arbroath fans through the gates for most games this season ( say 1500 home fans for united and 900 for Alloa, obviously depends on the game ) and a hospitality of 150 places at £90 a head sold out. Only having to pay part time wages with they crowds probably works in our favour. After seeing the standard of this league and the points that in my opinion we have dropped so far I'd be gutted to finish 9th. Great, you've managed to entice more home supporters in, hopefully you'll manage to keep them. Last time we reached that level, we had a nightmare season & our crowds have never really recovered. Bit of luck, you can consolidate. If you can keep crowds over 1500, the next step may be full time one day. Has worked for QoS the last 15/20 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Fifer Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Do you get the feeling Bakers just not good enough , watched today and he just seemed lost and a step slow to react , could be just missing match sharpness but I’d rather see Boyd get a run again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I thought Lewis Baker did OK for his first start. Perhaps not match fit but he gave us another option. He had a lot of knock ons to other players. It's the defending that needs sorted out. As usual the team improves with the introduction of Pat Slattery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifer67 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The defending has been a constant under the management of Darren Young . The amount of goals we have lost from set plays and hopeful crosses into our box has been desperate. We could be doing with a defensive coach to work exclusively with the back line. We rarely get cut open it’s usually an individual error or a set play that usually costs us. No signs of a return for Ross Dunlop yet any chance he could be ready after our 2 week lay off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely battered the defence and then bringing on anton seemed to be the worst thing the airdrie defence needed [emoji23]Strange feeling to be happy with a point but also disappointing to only get a point too [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Wasn't at the game yesterday but concerning to be conceding another two goals. Our defence has started falling apart the past month or so, and as has been said above, our defending for crosses is particularly poor (not sure if that was the case yesterday?). It's going to be incredibly difficult to improve this in the January window. In isolation that draw isn't a bad result, but we're now 1 point from 9 in this quarter, leaving us having to get 14 from the next 18 if we're to hit the targets DY is setting for the team, so definite wins needed vs four of Clyde, Peterhead, Stranraer, Forfar and Dumbarton (assuming Falkirk is a bogey). Big ask, and we won't manage it if we keep shelling goals like we are. As an aside, anyone know what the white raffle tickets on sale at the Raith game were for? I've got about 4 in my wallet but can't remember for the life of me what draw they were meant to be for, was half cut when they were purchased! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efifer Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The raffle tickets sold at the Raith game were for the Supporters club and it was drawn before the Airdrie game yesterday, so if you have won you will be informed today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not only a game Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Announce boyd new contract Its all about opinions- but with Smithy also back- would use the funds from Boyd and Duggan and find a really strong midfielder- for me the weakest area of the team in terms of squad strength. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be surprised though if he does as I like Boyd. Expected him to absolutely rip it up though in league1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare. Another L to take on the chin. Can someone give me the deets on joining the Supporters Club please? I've been told before that I can do so at home games but more often than not I've had a fair few shandys by the time I'm at the stadium. Can only usually make about 5 home games a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
