dee_62 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Still think we are missing Malcs and Dods more than we realise - don't get me wrong, we have some very good centre halves but those 2 dominated games. Currently we're not taking our chances and a single error at the back is proving more costly now than last season. Today, we should have been a couple up before Cowdenbeath had their first effort on target. Same as Hampden a couple of weeks ago and same as quite a few other matches this season. January has to see us get a striker - signed or loan ( is Murray getting a game at United these days?) If we can start converting the chances, it would take the pressure off the midfield and defence. 3 wins and we're in the top end playoff mix. Enjoyed seeing so many youngsters on the pitch today - much more energy for longer in the game. As I say, had we taken the Hay and Swankie chances before 'beath scored, Dick could still have been leading the team till the New Year. We're not that far away...#Believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only coo in the village Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Would Danny Lennon be that bad? Done reasonably well with St Mirren and Cowdenbeath, done alright in the first season with Alloa aswell. Danny would be a good appointment for Forfar. Did a great job at Cowden and won a cup for St Mirren. After they booted him they sunk like a stone. He had a tough task at Alloa as the Championship is still the most competitive league in Scottish football with plenty of big clubs in it with far more money. Dick getting the boot after Danny becoming available seems good timing as well. Hope Forfar go for someone else as he would certainly improve them.

Loonytoons Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yano looked better in the middle than at left back . He was certainly fired up today. The team must have had an idea of what would happen. There's a decent team there somewhere just need to find the right recipe . I was all for dick going but now it's reality I feel a bit gutted , last season was brilliant especially . Dick taking us from bottom of the old 3rd to promotion in a couple of years is, to me, his biggest triumph for the club. Last season was definitely fun though. I suspect you will not be alone in the despondent stakes regarding Dick. Brave new world awaits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only coo in the village Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Was Danny Lennon in charge when yous won the league ?. No but we had two back to back promotions under him. Admittedly the first was due to Livi going bust after we lost the play off final on pens to Stenny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forfarfred Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 If Dick has been sacked I think its a big mistake .When the squad is injury free the wins will come . Again if true a sad day for the club . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofixedability Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 There was definitely a flashpoint with a fan but too many people at the game mentioned to me that if we lost then he was gone for it not to have some truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feet, he could have scored another three goals (watch the highlights) Forfar weren't too bad but had no attacking threat. The wee winger didn't seem to understand the offside rule which didn't help. Don't like to hear about a manager losing his job in such circumstances. Hope Forfar don't regret this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I thought two teams were pretty even but big difference up front.Exactly. Forfars weakness wasn't defence, yesterday anyway. No quality in final third to create good chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your number 11 hit a good shot from distance which Jamie saved first half. Was that his only save? To say you should have been 2 up before we scored is like me saying I have over 250 notches on my bedpost as I have spoken to more birds than that.

cowdenbeath Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Apparently he was forced to resign after shouting at a fan A couple of our fans were standing along from his dugout and said he was arguing back with a fan in the first half so could be something in that. I would imagine he's maybe been told he had to win yesterday and the pressure of that has got to him, wouldn't have expected him to bite the bait from a punter.

cowdenbeath Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Campbell's shot never really looked like going in Sneddon had it well covered although he never got the ball under complete control at first but got it gathered before Kerr could do anything with the rebound. Swankie was in a good position but made an arse of it no real danger in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must've been at the bridie stand when those efforts were going in (or trying to get more notches) Campbell's shot? Thought it was an overhit pass. As for Swankie, he didn't like being tackled and wanted all the Cowden defenders booked. What a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must've been at the bridie stand when those efforts were going in (or trying to get more notches) You are kidding yourself on. Our keeper had 1 decent save to make. He was injured for half the game and was hard to tell from his lack of action.To say you should have been 2 up before we scored is bollocks and nothing you say will ever change that. And I am very happily married thank you so last thing I need is more notches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swankie was in a good position but made an arse of it no real danger in the end. Re Swankie - Thanks for reaffirming my point that we need a decent striker. From our position, it looked very much like Kerr got to the ball ahead of the keeper and he made a very good block (after his initial fumble). The fact Kerr took a big swing at it and none of the 'beath players complained about it suggests the ball was there to be won, rather than already gathered by the keeper. (Just my opinion - and, again...if we had an out and out goal scorer...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
