More controlled, less long ball stuff - like proper contenders. Like Andy Penman in the Olsen days. Nouble and Dowds Away yes.... but now we don’t have to go back to front so quick. Nicky will step in and take the ball off everyone and pull the strings in there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re only getting promoted and winning the league so that we can’t get relegated and we are safe in the Championship until atleast the year 2024 All part of the master plan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Know what would be magic. That big spreadsheet of the current squad and how many games they’ve played etc Some guys must be racking up some incredible numbers. It really is a proper club. Even with Wighton and Hamilton coming back in there. Doesn’t feel like they’re new, just a proper togetherness and identity about us. What a job DC Pink the board and everyone involved 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farflung Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Two observations. I think we’d be wise to stay well clear of the ever inflating hype of our ‘fairytale’ - we can certainly derive immense quiet satisfaction from this position and external regard. Now that the 40 point relegation mark has been reached, I’m ready to talk of competing for the playoffs. But, apart from the mere superstition of ‘tempting providence’, I would be practically concerned that squad, fans etc might just lose focus on the immediate. Just under 40% of the season to go anyway so far too early for one thing. Also how important our defence is a key to our attacking capability. It not just they chip in a fair proportion of goals regularly but how they create the platform. Tam and Ricky are of course legendary but we really miss when either JT or Hammy are out and I think it does create a bit of imbalance. It’s always a joy to see JT, defectively fast, strong and perhaps the best crosser, bombing down into space on the right and creating goal scoring pops. Or big Hammy going forward cleverly probing with the neat passing to the forwards or curling in a cross ( and of course winning the vital penalty). The strong, mobile central pairing with solid keeper perhaps allow these forward pushes more than other teams but it also makes the overall play entertaining. A very modern style too (cf Liverpool, Chelsea, albeit on a different planet). Always a concern when any of the back 5 are out, though in big Henderson, we do have a great potential replacement.

par-adise Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Dear all conquering Lichties. Do any of you know what, if anything, would be required for the wonderful Gayfield to meet Premiership criteria. I think the capacity/all seater rules were scrapped a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SotesBornalichtie Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The missus just now asked me what I was laughing at and it was just the thought that here we are, a small provincial club of part time players with what some might call a dinosaur for a manager, at the top of the Championship going into the second half of the season. What's not to be happy about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peternapper Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Good to hear Nicky Low featuring remember thinking he was going to be a decent player when seeing him for the Dons reserves when they played at Balmoor but he seemed to go off the radar for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
