Deserved win for you over the 90. We missed Barjonas today from the start, he's been the link from front to back so far this season. First time I've seen you guys for a while and you looked good in spells. Good luck for the season!

Cheers man. Would say the same for your fans I think you’ll probably win that league, not too keen on a few of your players. That Forster is a big dafty. Atleast Easton is away. Cardle and Higginbotham will do great L2.

Only negative today was probably Hilson.  Looked like he was lacking a bit of confidence and cost us the 2nd goal. Clark continues to improve 

Hilson and McKenna squandered a load of chances today, luckily it didn't cost us the game, we cannot be as wasteful against better opposition

I was impressed with Arbroath today, probably the difference between a good L2 side and a Championship. Quite a bit of pace and power in that team. An even 30 mins where we looked quite settled, played some decent and delighted to be 2 ahead. After that, I was happy to go in ahead at HT, a level score line wouldn’t have been unfair.

Done in the second half, was pretty much one way and if it had finished 4/5-2 would’nt have complained. Thought Austin had a shout for a pen with about 10 to go but given the shout from the Arbroath end it sounded like McNab got away with a handball too?

Few of the comments above - both RB Black and CB McNab are naturally midfielders filling in. Showed a bit today.

Won’t face teams like Arbroath in League 2 and if we can perform like we did for 30 mins for 90 in the league should go well.

Cracking steak pies from the pie hut!

Forster should be fine in L2 but legs look shaky! Cardle is a wizard!

That was a 3-2 pumping we really should’ve taken a lot more of our chances 

 

Very good after losing 2 poor goals but again lack of attacking options on the bench worries me. Soon as Linn And LD went off we were struggling. Nouble definitely not fit today miles off it. 
 

Some attacking players in ASAP please. 
 

Nicky Low is a hero already 

Spot on 👍

After the second goal everyone celebrating and Low just wanting the call back on the centre circle to go again. Love that 

Got to say Clark been so much better too had another good game but still has 1 or 2 mental moments. Had another today won the ball so well then tried to do too much and they got in off it. Young lad making a big step up hopefully starts cutting that out soon

He’s a real prospect. I think he sometimes tries too hard to impress with an extra touch or a killer pass that goes wrong. He’s clearly aware of that though. His pass to Nouble at the end was selfless. He could have scored and I think we will see a few goals from him.

A well deserved win for Arbroath and  a great come back from Arbroath.

The final score should have been higher - but we are missing a finisher.

Would be unfair to select a MOTM as each player did their part, but Luke Donnelly deserves credit for putting in such a good shift.

Kelty have a good chance of finishing in the top 4 ( but might depend on avoiding injuries to their key players) - but they will struggle to finish top.

Arbroath looking sharp, fit and ready to go for the new season ( but a striker coming in on loan would be good).

Thought we were terrible in the first half, Kelty looked more composed and passed the ball well. Shades of the University of Stirling cup match a few seasons ago when we went one then two down. Kelty deserved their lead and it was a bit of a relief when Donnelly scored before half time.

We were much improved in the second half, guess the manager had a word or two at half time. Hammy's shot after a quick free quick was in the net before Jamieson could react and Low's penalty proved to be the winner. We had more chances but the old failing of not converting them was obvious again. 

Kelty captain Toser was booked for sarcastically applauding the ref for awarding the penalty. Can't help thinking there was another "S" missing from the name on his shirt.

This might have made sense if his name wasn't Tidser rather than Toser.

No sure Kelty were better than us in the first half, they took both their chances, we squandered at least four decent chances
