I take this back and decided we’re going to win the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenmavis Diamond Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) What a shambles. The club is a shambles. Well done the young Gunn for scoring in his debut. A night he'll never forget. Bring on the pen! And Arbroath! Edited July 19, 2022 by Glenmavis Diamond 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossm25 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Cracking win tonight, very enjoyable. Good to see Salim get some some game time. I'm assuming it's someone at it but, on Telfers Wikipedia it says he plays for us. Wouldn't look too much into it right enough as it's probably just some idiot that's changed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As ever, an extra signing would help I’d like to think you’d have to be at your best Our home forms been extraordinary. List of teams to beat us at Gayfield in last 12 months; League - Inverness - 1-0 - July 2021 Scottish Cup - Hibs - 3-1 - - Feb 2022 Really looking forward to it. It feels like the first competitive game of the season now there is actually something on the line 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Said this in the thread but I hope the club still got their £17k from premier sports for last nights game which was supposed to be on tv but pulled due to staffing issues. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was looking to try down south I think but wanted time to think. Must be so bloody frustrating dealing with that kinda stuff. But like you said nothing signed yet so hopefully we get him over the line. Who would you drop though ? Justin "goal machine" Devenney? Surely not ! We add a stronger left back to that starting 11 (Although Euan was great last night) and maybe Salim in for Gabby ? World beaters! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be going 4 in the middle and only 2 up top, so a striker that makes way? Also, at the very least, it adds excellent competition in midfield which is exactly what we need. Great starting 11 but needs strengthened across the pitch, but I am confident the club are trying everything to do make that happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 With apologies to the 60s TV watchers of Clint Walker I am currently singing: Kyan,Kyan ,where were you scoring last night? The Club 24 event was good food/drink and company, even if a box still stops the full on joy of those two goals. Great winning display but it still needs additional strength. At least a game that counts at Arbroath. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago i thought we would be aiming for a first team squad of around 20+ but since the announcement of the academy it now looks more like 17, and supplemented by the young uns. Our big players (Fordyce, Frizzell, McCabe, Smith) remaining injury free will have a big impact on our season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First two tackles Salim had he went down far to easy . Gabby all though not a prolific scorer puts in a good shift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 A lot to be happy about from last night. I could get used to seeing Scotland caps and big, physical teams turn up and being bodied by our diminutive ballers. I forgot Keith Lasley was at St. Mirren until I saw him at the game last night, he must hate these midweek nights in Airdrie! In the lead up to it I thought we'd play well and lose by a goal or two but as I was driving through, it reminded me a lot of the Motherwell game and I started to feel pretty confident we'd win. I think it was a big win for the club and McCabe, as while all the fans are very supportive of him there are understandable frustrations about the lack of signings. That win should help to calm things down a bit. We started really well and were the better team for the opening 10 minutes. After that St. Mirren came into the game more but I never felt they were going to score and at worst, it was pretty even. The sending off was a clear red, Kiltie didn't mean it but it's as obvious a red as you'll see. Having the extra man helped but I think the big difference from then on was St. Mirren changing shape. They were getting some joy in behind Deveney but they went really narrow after Kiltie went off, which allowed us to dominate the ball at the back and switch it to the wing backs who wee always in loads of space. From then on I was pretty relaxed about us winning the game, as we were clearly the better team. It's hard to fault any of the players really. The 4-3-3 in defence and fluid 3-4-3 in attack really suited us. Rae was solid but had a couple of dodgy moments playing out from the back, though that's always going to happen with the way we play. Ballantyne and Deveney did well driving forward and while they were caught out a few times defensively early on, I think that's mostly due to the style of play and the latter's positional awareness. McCabe strolled it in midfield and controlled the game while Frizzell and Devenny were excellent again. I thought Frizzell was the best player on the park, his turn and long pass to Deveney early on was glorious and most of our attacks came through him. Gallagher did well for his first game back and Smith and McGill caused problems, the latter in particular put in a phenomenal shift as always. He might not be a classic winger, which is an issue at times, but you can never fault his effort and the chaos he brings out there. Even the subs all did pretty well. It's good to see Salim back and winning a free-kick by backing his massive arse into someone straight away. I loved Gibson's confidence smashing into a very loud 50/50 and it was great to see Gunn get his goal at the end, he looked lively and very excited to be involved. All to play for on Saturday now, which is all we could have asked for before last night's game. Hopefully it goes a bit better than when we were in a similar position last year! I suppose if the message after the Edinburgh game was don't panic, it's now don't get too carried away yet but we can be cautiously excited about this team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
