The Arbroath Thread

This league has been won quite a lot over the last 20 years at Station Park so expecting it'll be won there!

You lot could probably lose all remaining games and still win the title. Some achievement.

Probably because we are by far the best team in the league with the best player in the league scoring 23 goals so far

Watching the latest player interview with Jason Thomson, what always comes across consistently is the sensible line that they really do seem to take each game as it comes. Importantly, whenever the subject its raised, whichever player is interviewed always stresses they approach things one game at a time. Once or twice after recent defeats, Dick Campbell has hinted that complacency might have been a factor.

Seven difficult games to go. As we’ve seen at this end of the season, all the clubs are battling for something - League 1 is virtually always the closest of any of the divisions in points and competition. One reason for that is no other division has so many key slots at stake (1 promotion and 3 prom playoff, 1 relegation and 1 releg playoff = 6 places to be fought over by only 10 teams). Since there are few differences among the teams, the Lichties need to be fully at their game for every single Saturday until early May.

If we’re not, then it could still become interesting but there is hope that the same tough competition would prevent any of the rivals from doing a clean sweep. Personally, I’m not looking beyond Stranraer for now.

The player you’re talking about though is not the top scorer..

Yes, we have goals throughout the team. We have scored  3 goals fewer than Raith, but have also conceded 9 goals fewer. Most importantly, Bobby Linn's goals have helped us to 19 wins. Kevin Nisbet's additional 2 goal haul has only helped Raith to 13 wins.

Your point is?
