stan3600 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The YouTube vids show a canny ball player and not your big target man type. I fully expect him to be getting pelters in due course for being 6’ 4” and not winning headers. Joel and Luke up front failing to win headers.

Arbroath36.0! Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Think a nippy wee striker would be good to bring in especially against a tiring defence later in a game or play off the holy nouble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we played ok today considering we had a makeshift defence and little on the bench their keeper had some terrific saves and could have won by 3 or more IMO hoofing the ball up to someone whos up top on their own, with little to no service is always going to struggle. Dont see anyone else who has filled that slot when Lukes been injured doing any better. Maybe time to go with a slightly different formation as you say, or try something else out. Hitting the ball up to someone, with no midfielders or anyone to play off is always going to be a thankless task regardless of who you bring in. But Luke is a number 10, not someone who plays up top himself, that is evident for anyone to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLichtie Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 4-4-facking-2, LD and new laddie up top, Hilson and Linn on the wings, Nicky Low and one of several other options sitting in midfield and we've pretty much got top 4 secured IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had just under 600 at Stark’s last night, and that was a wee bit disconcerting too. 600 had been the limit the first match, but I thought we could go higher this time…but based upon comments, the opposition (Brechin), the time (Tuesday night), the previous (effective) home opener and the available stream cut into the numbers. There was also the fact that Raith fans showed well at Cowden on Saturday too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact COVID is still extremely prevelant, it's still pre season, it doesn't include the full 'day' pre/ post match and the streaming service is still readily available all contribute as well as a variety of other factors we knew would kick in for some people with football essentially stopping for 16 months. I'd expect us to have 3/400 tonight. Edited July 14, 2021 by SimonLichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be watching the stream instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattie36 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I’ve got a season ticket but I can’t go tonight as I’m on holiday. The way things are working out I may also miss the first two home league games. Gutted as I can’t wait to get back but life gets in the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtiekev Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Missing it as away for a few days ans people will be away on holiday and that and all the covid carry on, Would expect better crowds when the league starts, Looking forward to see how Nouble gets on, Looks like he plays off the left on his highlights so wonder where he will fir in for us, Hopefully Hamilton doesn't get a change and he joins the Arbroath Livi bromance for another season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
