Electric atmosphere and bumper crowd expected. If only. Missing the Rovers already. Think with the way things are going for them that derby is finished. It'll just have to be Motherwell !! As far as tomorrow's game is concerned another unconvincing win for Airdrie 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Having missed last week, I am looking forward to escaping the Xmas calories. Two wins already against Stranraer and the better team on both occasions, I expect to win. It will be tight however given our home "form". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Was that as comfy as the scoreline suggests?Unfortunately I'm tattoo'd to my chair with the knee up after an operation on Thursday so won't get to a game for a few weeks [emoji17].

airdrieman Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 A win, 3 goals and a clean sheet. I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2lgm Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 We were poor tho. I’m struggling to find a positive out of a 3-0 win. Stranraer had 11 corners to our none. Our midfield were posted missing and hardly played a forward pass. If Stranraer has a forward worth his salt they would’ve won. But hey 2 wins on the trot I’ll take it.

waysider Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I’ve just read a statistic which surprised me considerably. Only Arbroath and Stranraer have conceded fewer goals than Airdrie! Maybe our defence isn’t all that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFC1878 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Stranraer were very poor. Airdrie didn’t have to work hard for their win. Hate how deep we sit. Could maybe have won by more if we attacked a bit more. And we still have 11 men in the box defending corners! Hate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the forward pass nonsense, Not every pass has to go forward. It’s called trying to keep possession. Even at 3 nil up there were stupid shouts aimed at players and even Murray. Crazy stuff. Thats Airdrie for you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey 2 wins on the trot I’ll take it. I once saw Airdrie have 13 corners at Brechin and still lose heavily, so I understand the point you make. The positive was that for once this season we never looked like losing a goal from any of Stranraer's corners and I thought the defensive nature of our game shape has been needed for a while. It was not entertaining/passing and we did seem to let them have the ball for long spells but they did little with it. The other positives were three good moves producing three good goals and seeing Leighton score again was a plus. The one shame is that Carrick just can't get a goal. I thought Crighton and Mcdonald were very good and Murray appears to have settled on that shape so let's see how it pans out in the next few weeks. That's now 3/3 against Stranraer and as I said earlier in the week, it was expected. If being poor produces these results then as you say "I'll take it" .
